Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Julie often uses the Gottman Method in sessions to help people learn clearer communication patterns and rebuild trust in relationships. The approach focuses on practical exercises and structured conversations that can be practiced between meetings.She also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and behaviors, and client-centered therapy to keep the work grounded in each person’s priorities. Attachment work helps with fears of abandonment and closeness, while client-centered work lets the client lead the pace and topics.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s goals, needs, and comfort level. She will explain options and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered through live video and phone sessions as well as live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Messaging formats allow for ongoing support between sessions and flexible scheduling when life is busy.
