How Julie's Approaches Work in Online Sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. It emphasizes the client’s perspective and helps people find their own solutions with support from the therapist. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name emotions and then use that awareness to improve important relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie begins by listening to your goals and concerns, then suggests methods that match what you want to work on. She adjusts the plan as you move forward so the work stays useful and realistic.
Julie offers weekly sessions and holds appointments by video, phone, or live chat according to the biography. Before booking, confirm the current session options to make sure they fit your needs. Online therapy can make sessions easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits you.
