Approaches that guide online sessions
Julie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily routines. DBT teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which helps with strong feelings and repeated conflicts.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Gottman ideas when relationship concerns are part of the work. EFT helps people name emotions and change interaction patterns, while Gottman-based skills support better communication and repair after arguments. Julie treats the choice of approach as a team decision and will help clients figure out which methods match their goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and detailed teaching of skills. Phone sessions can fit a tight schedule or work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let clients check in between sessions, share quick updates, or do shorter coaching-style work. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
