Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Julie uses Motivational Interviewing as a way to help people find their own reasons for change and to strengthen their motivation. This approach is conversational and works well for decisions about relationships, parenting, or life changes.
She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional patterns. That work often helps with communication problems, intimacy, and feelings of abandonment or emptiness.
Client-Centered Therapy is another influence, emphasizing listening, empathy, and working at a pace that feels right for the client. This style supports people who need a calm, nonjudgmental place to sort through feelings.
Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will ask about needs, goals, and preferences and will try methods that fit each person. This collaborative process can include checking in on what helps between sessions and adjusting plans over time.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. The original biography mentions live video sessions and phone sessions, so confirm the currently offered formats before booking to ensure they match personal needs. -
