Online approaches that fit parenting life
Julie often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address mood, anxiety, and parenting stress. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can help manage big reactions and relationship strain.She also draws on client-centered therapy to keep sessions grounded in what each person finds most meaningful. That approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so the therapist and client can decide together which techniques to try. Finding the right mix of approaches usually happens during early sessions as goals and preferences emerge.
Online therapy with Julie uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for longer sessions and skill practice that benefits from visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or you need a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for short updates, brief coaching, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
