Julie Borden, LCSW

Julie Borden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 23 years of counseling experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, depression, relationship issues, addiction, trauma and related concerns. Her approach is practical and focused on small steps that add up to meaningful change.

Julie describes therapy as a way to gain perspective. She compares it to looking through a new window so everyday problems look clearer. That clarity can reveal patterns in relationships and long-held assumptions that no longer serve a person.

She emphasizes pairing awareness with action. Insight is useful, she says, but change usually follows when people try small, concrete behaviors. Those early successes often create momentum for broader change.

Sessions tend to focus on recognizing patterns, testing new ways of behaving, and building confidence through manageable goals. Julie encourages people to experiment with tiny shifts that feel doable and to notice the ripple effects over time.

Her stated aim is to help people live more intentionally and make deliberate choices instead of repeating old habits. She frames the work as collaborative, listening to each person’s story and working together on practical next steps.

Julie works in English and is based in California. She asks prospective clients to use the site matching and scheduling process to begin, and notes that session arrangements are managed through the platform subscription system.
