Background and approach

Julie also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption-related issues, attachment problems, and blended family dynamics.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Julie directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and practical methods fit into online therapy
Julie draws on Narrative Therapy to help people notice the stories they tell about themselves and to explore alternatives that feel more helpful. This approach helps with identity questions, relationship patterns, and life changes by separating the person from their problem.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and supports. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, try different methods when needed, and collaborate on what feels most useful for you.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can suit people who prefer writing or want brief, on-the-go support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using approaches that match individual needs.
