How Julie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional needs and reactions. Online sessions can help people notice relational patterns and practice safer ways of asking for connection and support.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying core emotions and using them to guide calmer, more connected responses in relationships. It is often used for intimacy and couples concerns and can be adapted to individual work to address self esteem and attachment wounds.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's pace and priorities. In this approach the therapist reflects what is said and helps people find their own solutions rather than prescribing answers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean mixing approaches depending on the issue at hand.

Practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling around work or caregiving, access from other locations, and options for shorter check-ins when needed. The original biography notes that clients have used live video and phone sessions; confirm current session options before booking so you know what format will be used. Online work aims to fit therapy into everyday life while focusing on the same goals as in-person care.
