Online therapy approaches and how they help
Julie uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people notice and change patterns in close relationships; this approach looks at how past bonds affect current reactions and helps build more secure ways of relating. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which helps partners or individuals name and express core emotions so they can reconnect and resolve recurring hurts.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients figure out which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they set aims, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
The therapist's practice uses live video sessions and phone sessions, which can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week. Video allows face-to-face interaction for relationship work, while phone sessions can be a simpler check-in when schedules are tight or when a shorter session is needed. If you prefer other session formats, confirm available options before booking so scheduling matches your routine.
