About Julie
Julie Barrett is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 24 years of experience in California. She focuses on helping people reduce anxiety and stress, boost confidence and self-esteem, and manage depression and life changes. Julie takes a straightforward, supportive approach so clients know what to expect in sessions.
She listens first and lets each person set the pace. Julie draws on client-centered methods to make space for a person’s concerns and priorities. She also uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Julie often blends skills-based work with strategies from dialectical behavior therapy when emotions feel overwhelming. Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants to make lasting changes but feels stuck. Solution-focused techniques keep conversations goal-oriented and concrete.
Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, practicing coping skills, and setting small, achievable goals. Julie helps people facing parenting strain, relationship tensions, grief, addiction challenges, or the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports those coping with career stress, anger, and eating concerns.
Her background includes long-term clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns. People who prefer a practical, collaborative style tend to find her approach helpful.
