About Julie
Julie Tallard Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 33 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and addiction. She also supports those who struggle with self-esteem, sleep, parenting challenges, ADHD, and intimate or relationship concerns.
She keeps sessions practical and people-centered. Julie describes therapy as a partnership where the client directs the work and she helps navigate options. She offers short-term skills and longer-term exploration, mixing conversation with awareness of bodily experience.
Background and approach
Her approach blends relational, narrative, and somatic work. That means she pays attention to the relationship in the room, listens to personal stories and patterns, and notices how feelings show up in the body. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques often appear alongside these methods to shape new habits and thoughts.
Julie also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered principles to help people clarify values and build meaningful change. She has explored somatic experiencing, breath work, and awareness practices to support emotional regulation and insight. She has written books on recovery from trauma and practical tools for well-being.
Julie has worked with clients in person and online for decades and draws on that experience to provide calm, straightforward guidance. If someone wants practical tools plus space to tell their story, she aims to offer both.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online work
Julie blends the Gottman Method ideas around relationship patterns with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered care. Gottman-informed work focuses on communication habits, emotional connection, and practical skills for relating to others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clarify values and build flexible responses to difficult thoughts and feelings. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and ensures the therapist follows the client's lead.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Julie works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person's goals, comfort level, and situation. She will offer options, explain what they involve, and adjust the plan as progress and preferences become clear.
Online sessions allow the same kind of therapeutic work without needing to travel. Video calls support in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins or written reflection, and text-based messaging is useful for ongoing support between sessions. These formats make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into busy lives.
