Practical Approaches, Flexible Online Sessions

Julie Elliott draws from established approaches that can be adapted well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can be especially useful for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and everyday coping challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships through mindfulness and communication tools. It can be a strong fit for clients who feel overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck in difficult cycles.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship experiences shape connection, trust, and emotional needs. This approach can be helpful for relationship concerns, family dynamics, grief, and patterns related to abandonment or intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that feel realistic and supportive, adjusting the plan as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers multiple ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to stay consistent, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and access support from wherever a client is located.
