Julie Elliott , MD, LCSW-C, LCSW

Julie Elliott is a licensed clinician who combines decades of practice with a calm, direct style. She holds an MD and social work licenses as LCSW-C and LCSW and draws on 35 years of experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She works from Texas and also welcomes international clients who prefer remote care.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions aim to identify patterns that cause pain and build small, usable skills for daily life. Julie uses talk, behavioral strategies, and emotion-focused work to help clients shift how they respond to problems.

She often helps people dealing with relationship strains, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, and struggles with mood or addictions. Other areas she supports include body image, caregiver stress, attachment concerns, and career pressures. Her work also covers grief, intimacy issues, sleeping or eating struggles, and compassion fatigue.

Julie blends approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, and emotionally-focused methods. That mix lets her tailor sessions to what each person needs in the moment. She keeps language straightforward and focuses on concrete steps clients can try between sessions.

Clients can expect a respectful, steady presence in sessions and a focus on practical change. Initial steps include a short questionnaire and scheduling a session through the site's Start Therapy flow. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Combining proven approaches with online access

Julie commonly uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That work helps people understand why certain relationship triggers feel so intense and points to ways to respond differently. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to personal goals and try different techniques until a good fit emerges. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to use and how to shape the work over time.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for this style of care. Video calls allow full conversations similar to in-person sessions, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is an issue, and live chat or text-based messaging provide quick check-ins or brief coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and practice new skills in real time.
