About Julie
Julie Wilson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem. She also supports people facing addiction, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and life changes. Julie uses a warm, down-to-earth style and aims to create a calm space to talk things through.
Her approach is highly relational and centered on the client's experience. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's lead and build a trusting connection. Attachment-based ideas guide how she thinks about relationship patterns and early bonds, while elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy inform practical skills and emotional work.
Julie pays attention to both the obvious symptoms and the deeper, sometimes unconscious issues that shape behavior. She draws on mindfulness, parts work, and depth psychology to help people notice patterns and make small, clear changes. Sessions aim to feel spacious yet practical, with room for emotion and real-life problem solving.
Julie holds two master of arts degrees, one in East-West Psychology and one in Counseling Psychology. She has practiced for 10 years in California as an LMFT. Her background supports a flexible way of working that adapts to each person's needs and goals.
People who meet with Julie can expect a steady, compassionate presence that balances empathy with tools for managing distress. She invites curious, honest conversations about relationships, identity, and meaning while focusing on what matters most to the individual.
How Julie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following what the client brings to the session. It helps people feel heard and supported while they figure out their next steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships to understand how they show up now, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping, which many people find helpful for anxiety, impulsivity, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is flexible and can change as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life, reducing commute time, and making it easier to have a short check-in when needed. Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep consistent appointments and to work on skills between meetings, while still focusing on the relationship and personal insight that shape lasting change.
