Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Julie often uses the Gottman Method to bring structure to relationship work, focusing on communication skills, repair strategies, and practical exercises that couples or individuals can try between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to identify patterns that develop from early relationships and to help people build more stable connections with others. Client-Centered Therapy provides a listening-focused foundation where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-directed change.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Julie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, aiming for steps that feel manageable and relevant.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video helps with face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or text messaging can fit into busy days for ongoing support between sessions. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling and let people access therapy from different locations.
