2. How Julie’s Approaches Work Online and in Sessions

   Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to help people find their own reasons to change. It focuses on building motivation and resolving mixed feelings so clients can move toward meaningful goals.
   
   Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice tough thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It connects what matters most to daily actions and can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
   
   Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It teaches clear strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that lead to different results.
   
   Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Julie will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted over time as progress is reviewed.
   
   The practical value of online work is fitting sessions into a busy life. Online options can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, caregiving, or travel. Because formats were not listed in the original biography, confirm current session options before booking so you know whether video, phone, or another format is available. Many people find that shorter check-ins, regular weekly sessions, or evening appointments help therapy fit day-to-day demands.
