About Julie

Julie Tallard Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing from Wisconsin with 33 years of clinical experience. She approaches therapy with a belief that the quality of the relationship between therapist and client is the strongest predictor of meaningful change, and she blends relational, narrative, and somatic perspectives to support healing.

Her work emphasizes a genuine, skillful connection that allows clients to explore their stories and patterns. Through narrative inquiry, clients examine the assumptions and stories they tell themselves, and through somatic awareness they attend to how emotional experience shows up in the body. Cognitive-behavioral techniques are integrated as practical inquiry tools to help identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.

Julie frames the therapeutic process as collaborative - clients direct the sessions while she offers guidance, strategies, and concrete tools that can be used immediately to foster movement and insight. She has completed additional training in somatic experiencing, awareness, and breath practices and incorporates these methods when they fit a client's needs.

She has authored books on trauma, cognitive-behavioral approaches, and living a fulfilling life, and continues to learn through trainings and client work. Julie brings compassion, clear boundaries, and a steady therapeutic presence to support clients facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, caregiving challenges, ADHD, depression, and many other life transitions.

Integrating Approaches in Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on a warm, accepting therapeutic relationship where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathic listening and validation - this approach helps people who need a safe space to explore emotions, identity, and life decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing inner experience, clarifying values, and taking committed action - it can be helpful for managing distressing thoughts and building a meaningful life despite ongoing challenges.



Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the balance of relational support, inquiry, and skills practice as the work evolves.



Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules, geographic distance, and varying comfort levels with face-to-face contact. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or while traveling, support consistent engagement, and allow therapy to fit practical life rhythms while maintaining the therapeutic relationship at the center of the work.
