Background and approach
Clients work together with her to set concrete goals and try small steps toward change. Sessions often focus on breaking problems into manageable pieces and practicing new ways of coping. With eight years of professional experience, Julie draws on both clinical work and personal insight to inform her approach.
She has supported people dealing with codependency, communication problems, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also addresses mood disorders, panic attacks, postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress, impulsivity, and issues around guilt and shame. Julie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and develop different behaviors.
She works with clients on skills for managing panic, regulating mood, and reducing avoidance. Her style is collaborative - she helps people try tools, see what works, and adjust as needed. People in New York can work with Julie in English.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. To begin, people select Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session based on availability.
How CBT and online sessions work together
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice thoughts that lead to painful feelings and unhelpful behaviors. In a session, a therapist and client identify those patterns, test them against reality, and practice new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood.Julie uses CBT to target panic attacks, mood problems, and avoidance related to anxiety and trauma. She helps clients break worries into specific steps, try short behavioral experiments, and build coping skills for everyday situations. This approach is practical and focused on what someone can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide whether CBT or another practical strategy fits a person’s goals and preferences. Goals are reviewed and methods adjusted based on how well tools are working.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face to face when needed, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred, and live chat or text messaging can suit those who want to reflect in writing or fit support into a busy day. These formats make it easier to keep therapy going around work, childcare, or other commitments.
