How Julie’s approaches translate to online work
Julie commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness in sessions. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change how people feel. Mindfulness therapy trains attention to present-moment experience and can reduce rumination or anxiety.She also brings motivational interviewing into conversations when people want to make a change but feel ambivalent. That method helps clarify goals and strengthen motivation without pressure. These approaches suit many concerns listed in her practice, including mood disorders, stress, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will discuss clients' goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she and the client decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is reviewed.
