Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps the person explore values, needs, and goals. It is useful for building self-awareness, self-esteem, and a stronger sense of identity.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, stress, depressive patterns, and other everyday challenges through structured exercises and skill practice.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can be particularly helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties. Julie draws from these approaches to tailor care to each person's needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Julie works collaboratively with clients to determine the best fit based on their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She supports clients in trying strategies and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and practice new skills between meetings with ongoing support from a therapist.
