Background and approach
Sessions often include learning simple strategies, trying them between meetings, and checking what works. Her background includes long clinical experience across common mood and trauma-related concerns. She has helped people dealing with trauma and abuse, sexual assault and abuse, attachment issues, and communication problems.
Julie also addresses mood disorders, personality concerns, and seasonal affective disorder when these affect day-to-day life. She pays attention to relationship strain without running couples or family sessions unless a client requests individual work around those topics. Practical problem solving around divorce, separation, forgiveness, and parenting strain is part of her toolkit.
Julie aims to make therapy a steady place to learn coping skills and regain a sense of control. Sessions are offered in English and are based in South Carolina. Julie combines straightforward guidance with respect for each person’s pace and priorities.
She invites people to start by describing what matters most and then builds a plan together.
Using CBT and DBT Online to Build Practical Skills
Julie uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change the small behaviors that keep problems going. CBT breaks down worries and low mood into specific thoughts, actions, and situations so clients can try different responses and see what helps.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day coping. DBT offers concrete tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication when feelings feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie treats the choice as a collaboration and will help figure out whether CBT, DBT, or a mix best fits a person’s goals and preferences. That decision is guided by what the client wants to change and what feels most useful in real life.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues when bandwidth allows, phone works well for quick check-ins or when screen time is limited, and chat or text can be handy for shorter updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and help people access consistent care from wherever they are.
