About Julie
Julie Wiggins is a licensed clinical social worker who uses a client-centered, practical approach to help people navigate hard moments. She brings 11 years of clinical experience and focuses on clear, down-to-earth support for issues like anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain.
Her sessions emphasize collaboration. Julie listens first, then helps clients set doable goals and steps. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going, and on mindfulness practices to build calm and present-moment focus.
Julie also incorporates trauma-informed work and EMDR principles when trauma memories are part of the struggle. She aims to reduce the power of distressing memories and to increase day-to-day coping. Motivational Interviewing techniques are used to clarify values and strengthen the will to make change when needed.
She supports people dealing with parenting stress, family conflict, blended family challenges, fertility and pregnancy-related concerns, and mood shifts like postpartum depression or seasonal affective disorder. Money and financial issues are a named focus and can be part of sessions when financial stress affects mood and relationships.
Julie works with clients to create practical strategies for daily life. She favors simple, measurable steps that fit real schedules. The overall tone is respectful and solution-minded, with space for grief, frustration, and gradual growth.
How Julie's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building goals together. In practice this means a therapist follows your lead, mirrors what you say, and helps turn concerns into small, practical steps to try between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It often includes simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety or lift mood.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Julie will discuss options and tailor methods based on your goals and what feels most helpful. That collaboration helps decide whether more skills-based work, trauma-focused techniques, or mindfulness exercises will be central to your care.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce commute time. It can also help people try different tools between meetings, like homework from CBT or guided mindfulness practices, so progress continues between appointments.
