Background and approach
Julie listens for strengths in each person’s story and helps build on those resources. Sessions tend to focus on small, doable steps a person can take between meetings. She emphasizes clear tools you can use right away rather than long or abstract explanations.

Mood disorders, personality concerns, Seasonal Affective Disorder, and sexual assault or abuse are also within her focus areas. Julie works with individuals who want practical skills for daily life.
She explains clinical ideas in plain language and supports parents who need help managing the strain of caregiving. Her South Carolina practice reflects nearly three decades of experience guiding people toward steadier functioning and clearer choices.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Julie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep them stuck. CBT sessions often include specific exercises and short tasks to try between meetings, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and better communication. DBT gives practical techniques for managing strong feelings and improving relationships, which can be useful after trauma or during intense stress.
Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to goals and day-to-day needs, adjusting techniques as progress is made. Together they plan what to try and how to measure small improvements.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video calls are useful for in-depth work and skill practice, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit quick check-ins or shorter exercises. These formats allow sessions to fit around parenting schedules, work breaks, or other daily demands while keeping therapy practical and focused.
