Julie Ann Hexum is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Utah who helps people facing depression, anxiety, grief, and self-esteem struggles. She uses a compassionate, collaborative style to help clients make sense of difficult feelings and life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps to manage stress and rebuild confidence so daily life feels more manageable.
Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor strategies to each person’s needs. She helps people identify patterns that get in the way, learn healthier coping skills, and set small goals that lead to progress. Conversations are straightforward and grounded in real-life challenges like work pressure, relationship strain, and caregiving demands.
With four years of clinical experience, she has supported people through mood disorders, trauma recovery, and transitions such as divorce or caregiving shifts. She also addresses concerns like addiction, ADHD, body image, and chronic illness, helping clients find clearer ways to respond when life feels overwhelming.
Julie believes therapy is a partnership. She works with clients to build resilience and notice strengths they already have. Her aim is to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can practice new reactions and make practical changes.
If you are looking for help with stress, relationships, parenting challenges, or reclaiming self-worth, Julie offers focused, goal-oriented care that centers your priorities.
How evidence-based approaches shape online care
Julie draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people track thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to find patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood; it teaches skills to shift unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Another approach emphasizes building coping skills and short-term goals to manage stress, grief, and relationship strain, giving concrete steps to use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie collaborates with each person to identify what feels most useful based on their goals and preferences. Together they test methods, adjust strategies, and pick tools that fit the client’s day-to-day life.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits your week. Therapists can also adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
