How Julie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Julie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to address mood, anxiety, and everyday coping. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people making difficult changes. That approach uses collaborative conversation to clarify values and strengthen motivation for steps like addressing substance use or changing routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past and then tailor methods together. That means trying practical tools and reflecting on their fit, adjusting as needed in collaboration.
