About Julia
Julia Brown is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and a wide range of life transitions.
Background and approach
She works with clients who seek practical tools for coping, clearer communication, and renewed emotional balance, drawing on methods that blend skill-building and reflective exploration. Her practice emphasizes collaborative care that centers the client's goals and values.
Julia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness-informed techniques to help clients notice unhelpful patterns, learn new responses, and commit to meaningful changes. She also incorporates elements from client-centered and dialectical approaches when it fits a person’s needs.
Julia’s background includes long experience in areas such as grief, parenting concerns, relationship difficulties, LGBT issues, caregiving stress, and chronic health challenges. She tailors each plan to the person in front of her, helping clients move toward clearer priorities, better self-understanding, and practical strategies for daily life.
Therapeutic approaches and what online work can offer
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill practice, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility, encouraging clients to accept difficult experiences while committing to meaningful action. Mindfulness-informed techniques support present-moment awareness and emotional regulation, often paired with other methods to reduce reactivity and improve coping.
Julia approaches treatment collaboratively, recognizing that the best approach often develops over time. She will work with each client to explore which methods feel most useful, adjusting strategies based on goals, preferences, and what appears to be effective in early sessions. This shared decision-making helps tailor interventions to the individual rather than relying on a single fixed model.
Online therapy with Julia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible around work and family life and allow continuity of care across locations. These formats can support consistent practice of CBT, ACT, and mindfulness skills between sessions and make it easier to integrate therapeutic work into daily routines.
