About Julianna
Julianna Bardgett is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who centers therapy on the client’s goals. She uses Motivational Interviewing alongside other approaches to help people find reasons to change and take the next steps. Her style is straightforward and respectful, and she aims to make sessions feel useful from the start.
Julianna grew up in Missoula, Montana and moved to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho two years ago. She completed a Bachelor of Social Work at the University of Montana in 2019 and a Master of Social Work from the University of Louisiana in 2020. Over seven years in the field included work as a licensed addiction therapist focused on women with dependent children and several years with western Montana mental health.
Her practice has included work with substance use concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, and LGBT-related issues. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain or illness, caregiver stress, codependency, attachment and abandonment concerns, and divorce or separation.
Julianna draws from several clinical methods including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior approaches. She also has experience using EMDR and trauma-resiliency practices in appropriate cases. Sessions emphasize the person’s knowledge of their life and practical steps toward manageable change.
People can expect a warm, goal-focused partnership that balances empathy with clear tools. Julianna aims to help clients build coping skills, improve communication, and move through painful experiences at a pace that feels right.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and build motivation. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening, gentle questioning, and setting small, doable goals that fit day-to-day life.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional responses. In an online space this approach helps people notice patterns, practice new ways of relating, and strengthen close connections through step-by-step reflection.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they choose methods and adjust them over time so sessions remain practical and relevant.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins around work or school, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to continue regular sessions when schedules or location change, while keeping the focus on real, manageable progress. -
