How Julie's approaches translate to online therapy

Julie uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early connections shape current relationships. This approach looks at patterns of closeness and distance and is useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and family of origin problems.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which helps name and shift emotional responses that get in the way of healthier interactions. EFT can be helpful for repairing bonds, improving communication, and managing relationship distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs. She checks in regularly and adjusts the focus so therapy stays practical and relevant to your life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a quieter audio check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can be helpful for brief check-ins, homework support, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to schedule sessions around work or family commitments.
