About Julianna

Julianna Bardgett uses cognitive behavioral techniques as a central part of her practice while also drawing on trauma-informed and attachment-focused methods. Julianna is an LCSW who trained in both bachelor and master social work programs and has built clinical experience over seven years.

Background and approach

She brings specific experience in substance use treatment and has worked extensively with people navigating trauma, relationship struggles, depression, anxiety, and issues related to identity and LGBT concerns. Her background includes training in EMDR and exposure to DBT-informed skills alongside client-centered and attachment-based approaches, which she blends to suit individual needs.

Julianna’s experience spans work with caregivers and families, addressing challenges such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems, blended family dynamics, and caregiving stress. She also supports people coping with chronic pain, dissociation, and complex relational patterns.

Based in Idaho, Julianna emphasizes collaboration and respects each person’s expertise in their own life. She aims to help clients identify practical coping skills and clearer relational patterns while honoring personal goals and preferences.

Using Evidence-Informed Methods in Online Therapy

Julianna often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or problematic behaviors. She also uses attachment-based approaches to explore relational patterns and how early relationship experiences shape current interactions and emotional responses. When trauma has been a central concern, she may integrate EMDR-informed techniques to support processing of distressing memories and to reduce their hold on day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julianna works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and the nature of the concerns presented, then tailors interventions from these methods to match what feels most helpful. That collaborative stance helps clients try different strategies and refine a care plan together with the therapist.

Online therapy with Julianna is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, allow work with different formats depending on the topic and comfort level, and support continuity of care when in-person appointments are not feasible.
