Background and approach
Julianna listens closely and helps clients name priorities and workable goals. Her approach draws on therapies that teach new skills and new ways of thinking. She uses methods that help people notice thoughts, practice emotional regulation, and try small behavior changes.
That mix is useful for panic, low mood, workplace stress, and caregiver burnout. Julianna also pays attention to identity and meaning. She supports people navigating LGBT concerns, women’s issues, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
She will help explore values and choices, not just symptoms. Sessions can be a place to rehearse coping strategies, plan next steps, and track progress. She works collaboratively, offering straightforward feedback and exercises to use between meetings.
The aim is steady, manageable change over time.

04Online support
Online approaches that help you act on values and build skills
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, depression, and finding direction when life feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. It often includes homework between sessions to practice new skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, listening relationship where clients lead the conversation and feel understood; this approach helps build self-esteem and explore personal goals.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss these methods with clients, consider goals and preferences, and tailor the plan over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies to try and adjust them as needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face time for skill work and deeper conversations. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be a good option for a focused check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, more frequent contact and can help practice strategies between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
