About Julie
Julie Tallard Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, addictions, and money and financial issues among other concerns. She speaks plainly and listens without judgment. Her style aims to give people tools they can use right away, along with space to tell their story and make sense of it.
Julie emphasizes a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation of change. She likens the client to the captain and herself to the navigator, offering options and routes toward the goals the client names. Sessions focus on practical strategies, personal insight, and breathing or body-awareness practices when those fit the work.
Her approach blends relational, narrative, and somatic ideas. That means attention is paid to the client-therapist connection, the stories people tell about themselves, and how feelings show up in the body. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used as part of that mix to test assumptions and try new behaviors.
Julie has practiced for decades and brings long experience to common problems like depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, career stress, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiving strain, addiction, and life transitions.
Clients can expect a collaborative, flexible process where the therapist offers options, teaches simple tools, and follows the client's lead. Julie also draws on breath and somatic awareness methods when helpful and recommends additional readings or resources to support progress.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and values-based action rather than getting stuck in painful thinking. It can help people move toward meaningful goals even when emotions are intense. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and offers empathy and reflection to help people clarify what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to test assumptions and try new behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will discuss options and tailor methods to a client's needs, goals, and preferences so the plan fits the person, not the other way around. This is a collaborative process where the client directs the focus and the therapist suggests tools and routes forward.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week, reducing travel time, and easier scheduling for people in different time zones since international clients are accepted. Because formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the current session options before booking to know what is offered and how sessions will be scheduled.
