She offers a nonjudgmental space where people can talk honestly about what’s hard and begin to make practical changes. Julie uses several therapy styles and works collaboratively to find what fits each person’s needs.

She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns.

Background and approach

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify values and take small steps toward a meaningful life.

Her background includes work in nonprofit settings, a children’s advocacy center, primary care, independent practice, and intensive outpatient mental health. She also has a bachelor of fine arts from the University of North Texas and may include art-informed methods when helpful. In sessions she aims to change unhelpful beliefs, build practical skills, and increase self-awareness.

She talks with people about grief, identity and self-image, guilt and shame, and recovery after domestic violence. Julie emphasizes collaboration and treats the person as the expert in their own life. Appointments are offered Monday through Friday during typical daytime hours.

How EMDR and skills-based therapy work online

Julie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, practical steps toward those values. ACT is about noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match what you want from life. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and major life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more useful habits. CBT focuses on concrete skills for changing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and often includes simple exercises you can practice between sessions. For people processing trauma, Julie may incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which works on reducing the intensity of traumatic memories in paced, focused sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences, try approaches that fit, and adjust the plan over time. Most people shift methods as their needs change, and Julie works collaboratively to find what helps best.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video works well for deep conversations and EMDR-style work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, skill practice, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep progress between meetings.
