About Julie
Julie Hamoui is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of experience in mental health. She practices in Florida and focuses on helping people strengthen their relationship with themselves. Julie centers her work on practical steps parents and individuals can use to feel more capable and calm.
She approaches sessions with a person-centered style. That means she listens first, then tailors suggestions to each person's needs. She pays attention to negative self-talk and habits that keep people stuck, and helps reframe those patterns into kinder, more helpful ways of thinking.
Background and approach
Julie blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with attachment-based ideas and emotion-focused work. In plain terms she teaches ways to spot unhelpful thoughts, regulate emotions, and rebuild connection with oneself and others. Sessions often include skills, short exercises, and real-world practice to try between meetings.
Her areas of interest include parenting concerns, stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, addictions, and relationship and family issues. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiving strain, body image struggles, and life transitions. People who choose Julie tend to want a warm, straightforward clinician who offers practical tools and steady support.
She encourages self-compassion, clearer communication, and everyday routines that reduce overwhelm. Julie aims to help clients make small changes that add up to real relief over time.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Julie uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and everyday coping skills. Attachment-based work is also part of her practice and focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions; it can help with relationship patterns and parenting dynamics.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaboration. She will talk with clients about their goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients are encouraged to share what feels helpful and what does not, so the work stays practical and aligned with their priorities.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes it easier to fit therapy into busy family life. Video lets people see facial cues and practice communication skills. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter interaction is needed. Chat and text messaging allow for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, and written reminders of skills to use between sessions.
