BHow sessions work
Therapeutic Techniques and Remote Sessions
Julie draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This approach offers concrete steps for reducing anxiety, managing anger, and shifting negative self-talk.She also uses mindfulness practices that involve simple breath work and attention exercises. These techniques help reduce stress and support calmer responses to difficult moments.
Internal family systems concepts inform conversations about parts of the self that hold shame, guilt, or fear. This perspective helps people name internal patterns and practice different ways of responding to them.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs and goals, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
