How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Julie uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; this practical approach often targets anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by teaching concrete skills. She also draws on attachment-based therapy to explore relationship patterns and emotional needs, which can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, codependency, and family dynamics. Finally, her client-centered stance emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and tailoring the work to each person’s strengths and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Julie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs and preferences. Together they review goals, try techniques, and adapt strategies over time so therapy remains responsive to changing circumstances and progress.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from home or other convenient locations within Utah and allow clients to use the communication style that best supports their work in therapy.
