About Julianna
Julianna Bardgett uses person-centered and trauma-informed approaches to help people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship challenges. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and her style is direct and practical. Julianna focuses on making therapy clear and usable for busy parents and individuals facing life transitions.
She began her social work path with a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Montana in 2019 and completed a Master of Social Work at the University of Louisiana in 2020.
Background and approach
Over seven years of field work, much of her time was spent in western Montana supporting people in substance use treatment and related family concerns. That experience shaped her interest in trauma, attachment, and caregiving stress. Julianna blends client-centered conversation with targeted skills work.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to tackle patterns of thought and emotion. For trauma-related symptoms she includes approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in sessions when appropriate. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, relationship and communication problems, codependency, chronic illness and pain, and body image.
She also addresses domestic violence, dissociation, and issues that follow divorce or separation. Julianna practices in Idaho and offers sessions in English. Her background includes work with adults and with children starting around school age, and she brings a practical, respectful manner to each meeting.
Evidence-based approaches that adapt well to online care
Julianna often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand connection, trust, and recurring relationship worries.She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person's goals and pace. That style is useful for building trust, clarifying priorities, and making practical plans together.
Finally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is straightforward and works well for anxiety, depression, and routine stress management.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Julianna collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and comfort with techniques. The plan can change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people balancing busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions and live chat can fit brief check-ins or lower-bandwidth needs. Text-based messaging is useful for ongoing reminders, skill practice, and quick support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule consistent care around work, school, and family demands.
