About Julie

Julie Hamoui is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 12 years of experience in mental health and wellness. She centers her work on helping people build kinder relationships with themselves.

Background and approach

Her style is warm, direct, and focused on practical steps people can use day to day. She emphasizes helping clients notice and shift negative thoughts and long-held beliefs about themselves.

Sessions often include simple exercises to reframe thinking and build self-compassion. Julie uses mindful practices and skills so people can handle stress and strong emotions more easily.

Julie takes a person-centered approach, meaning she tailors sessions to each person’s goals and pace. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior ideas to offer tools for coping and emotion regulation.

Attachment-focused ideas show up when exploring how past relationships shape present reactions. In sessions she listens for what matters most to the client, validates feelings, and works toward clear, manageable actions.

That might mean practicing a grounding skill, reworking a negative belief, or planning small steps for change. The emphasis is on realistic strategies that fit everyday life.

She also helps with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, relationship challenges, parenting strains, trauma, and issues like addiction or ADHD. People who want a supportive, down-to-earth therapist who offers concrete skills and compassionate listening may find her approach helpful.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Julie uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This work helps people notice connection needs and learn new ways of relating that reduce reactivity and increase trust.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person’s experience. In this approach the therapist listens deeply, reflects what is heard, and helps clients find their own solutions and strengths.

Finally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and replace it with practical actions. CBT tools are often useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress because they focus on clear steps and measurable change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone works well when bandwidth or camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or tracking progress in real time. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, or caregiving duties while keeping continuity of care.
