Practical online therapy with clear, supportive direction
Julie Otis draws from evidence-informed approaches to help clients understand patterns, build skills, and improve relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, helping clients notice unhelpful thinking loops and practice more workable responses to stress, anxiety, and self-esteem challenges.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially useful for clients who feel overwhelmed by strong emotions, struggle with impulsivity, or want steadier ways to handle conflict and communicate needs.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and ongoing relationship experiences shape connection, trust, and closeness. This lens can support clients navigating attachment issues, codependency, commitment concerns, and relationship patterns that feel hard to change.
