Julie Hamoui , LCSW

Julie Hamoui is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with twelve years of experience in mental health. She practices in Florida and focuses on helping people build kinder relationships with themselves. Julie emphasizes practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more capable.

She uses a person-centered style that starts where someone is. Sessions look at thoughts, beliefs, and habits that get in the way. Julie offers tools to reframe negative self-talk and to notice patterns that cause pain.

Her work often includes skills from cognitive behavioral approaches and dialectical behavior ideas. She also draws on attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas to help people understand how relationships affect mood and behavior. Julie blends these methods to match a person's needs and goals.

Julie works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and self-esteem struggles. She also addresses parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, addictions, ADHD, and issues related to body image and caregiving stress. She lists LGBT and relationship issues among her focus areas.

In sessions she listens, validates, and helps people try small changes. She offers breathing, grounding, thought-reframing, and behavioral experiments people can practice between meetings. The approach aims to make daily life more manageable, one step at a time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns, name them, and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new thinking and behavior. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills to change how someone thinks and acts.

Finding the right approach is something the therapist helps with. Julie will talk with a person about goals and preferences and suggest techniques that fit their situation. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is tracked.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let a person and therapist see facial cues and practice interpersonal skills. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when shorter, written exchanges are preferred. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while still using the therapist's chosen approaches.
