Julie Mitton , LCSW

Julie Mitton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah with 18 years of clinical experience. She has worked across outpatient clinics, school environments, and community mental health settings, offering support to children, teenagers, women, couples, and families. As an LCSW, she brings professional training in mental health assessment and therapy to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, trauma, and other life transitions.

Julie integrates evidence-informed techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to help clients identify goals, build coping skills, and make practical changes. Her work with grief and family concerns often centers on empowering caregivers and parents to use their existing strengths while learning new tools to support their households. She emphasizes collaborative treatment, working together with each person to create tailored interventions that fit their life and values.

Practical considerations are part of her approach - Julie provides sessions to people located in Utah and recommends a computer or laptop with internet access for best connection. She approaches each client without judgment and aims to foster confidence through new skills. A cat occasionally jumps on her lap during sessions, and she typically waits 10 minutes after a session start time before rescheduling.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and emotional response. Through this approach, the therapist helps clients explore attachment styles, improve trust and responsiveness in relationships, and address issues like abandonment and intimacy-related concerns.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's own perspective and goals. The therapist offers empathetic listening and collaborative support, helping individuals and families discover their strengths, clarify priorities, and make choices that fit their values - useful for life transitions, parenting challenges, and building self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to ensure a good fit.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, support continuity of care during life changes, and allow therapists to tailor session formats to what works best for each client.
