About Julie
Julie Williams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and concerns about self-esteem and body image. Her work also includes supporting people who are looking for greater life purpose and navigating mood challenges.
Julie takes a practical, down-to-earth approach in sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with clear steps clients can try between meetings.
Julie often frames problems as habits of thinking and responding that can be changed over time. She breaks larger issues into manageable steps and helps people practice new skills. That can include thought records, behavior experiments, and simple routines to reduce panic or calm heightened anxiety.
Her style is collaborative; she works with each person to set priorities and measure progress. Conversations typically focus on what is getting in the way of daily functioning and on small, practical changes that can relieve symptoms.
People choosing Julie can expect straightforward feedback, a focus on skills they can use outside sessions, and an emphasis on short-term strategies alongside longer-term goals. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details to make sure they fit your needs.
BHow sessions work
How CBT and focused skills translate to online sessions
CBT is about noticing patterns of thinking and testing small behavior changes. In practice that means working together to label anxious thoughts, try a different response, and track what happens next. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, panic, depression, and problems with self-esteem.When panic or acute anxiety comes up, CBT techniques such as breathing practice and stepwise exposure can reduce intensity over time. For mood and self-esteem concerns, sessions focus on activity scheduling, thought records, and skills to shift daily routines that support steadier moods.
Choosing the right way to work is part of the process. Julie will collaborate with clients to pick methods and exercises that match their goals and comfort level. She checks in on what is helping and adjusts the plan as needed so progress stays practical and visible.
Session format options are not specified here, so confirm the current online session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten commute time, and allow quick check-ins between obligations. It can also offer options like audio-only sessions when video would be difficult, or focused shorter sessions for brief skill practice; discuss what fits your routine when you schedule.
