About Julie
Julie Elliott is a mental health professional based in Texas with 35 years of experience. She holds an MD and is credentialed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Certified and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Julie brings a long career to conversations about stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, and life changes.
She uses straightforward, people-first language and keeps sessions focused on practical steps. Julie combines listening with tools drawn from several therapy styles to help clients understand patterns and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be clear, paced to each person's needs, and focused on small, manageable changes. Her background includes work in diverse settings and a long history of helping with trauma, addictions, grief, and care-related stress. That experience informs how she supports people through intense emotions and transitions.
Julie pays attention to both immediate concerns and longer-term patterns that affect wellbeing. In sessions she draws on attachment-based ideas to look at close relationships, client-centered skills to follow what each person brings, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses dialectical skills for emotion regulation and emotionally-focused methods for relationship concerns.
Julie offers multiple online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. International clients are accepted and sessions are conducted in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Julie frequently draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how patterns in close relationships affect feelings and behavior. This approach can help people who want to understand trust, connection, and repeated conflict in important relationships.She also uses client-centered methods that place the person's experience at the center of the work. That means sessions follow what each person brings and move at a comfortable pace while the therapist offers reflection and support.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, another key tool, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep trouble, and parenting-related stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match current goals, concerns, and daily life demands. Plans are adjusted as needs evolve so the work stays relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer brief, flexible contact for notes between sessions or shorter conversations that fit a busy schedule.
