Julie Borden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 23 years of experience helping people through life’s rough patches. She holds a master’s degree in Social Welfare. She welcomes questions and understands how hard it can be to choose a therapist and make that first contact.
Her work centers on helping people gain clearer perspective on their lives. Julie uses plain talk to help people notice patterns in relationships, grief, stress, and day-to-day choices. She encourages small, manageable steps that build confidence over time.
Julie believes insight and action go hand in hand. Conversations often start with noticing what’s been automatic and then testing a different way of responding. Those small experiments can lead to new ways of seeing oneself and new options for living.
She focuses on concerns such as anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, grief and loss, stress, addiction, and self esteem. She also supports people facing relationship friction, career questions, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse.
Sessions aim to help people live with more intention and honesty about their choices. Julie describes the work as collaborative - she listens, reflects, and suggests manageable steps. Her goal is to help people find more clarity, calm, and confidence as they move forward.
Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Support
Julie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that blend insight with practical steps. One common approach focuses on helping people identify patterns in their thinking and relationships, then try small experiments to shift those patterns and build confidence. This helps with anxiety, depression, relationship communication, and self esteem challenges.
Another frequently used idea emphasizes gradual behavior changes. It breaks larger goals into tiny, doable actions so progress feels realistic. These small steps often produce noticeable improvements in mood and functioning over time, especially for stress, grief, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Julie works collaboratively to discover which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She listens to what matters most and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
