Online session options
Online approaches that fit your life
Julie uses narrative ideas to help people rewrite the stories that keep them stuck, looking at how past events shape current beliefs and choices. That work can be helpful for identity questions, relationship patterns, and feelings of emptiness or shame.She also draws on attachment-based therapy to examine how early relationships influence closeness and trust now. That approach is useful for intimacy problems, communication breakdown, and patterns of abandonment or codependency.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then adapt techniques from narrative, attachment, CBT or DBT as needed. The plan is shaped together and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions may fit during a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework, or emotional support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into family life, work schedules, and caregiving responsibilities.
