About Julie
Julie Borden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 23 years of counseling experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting struggles, depression, and big life changes. Her work also covers relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, ADHD, and career or self-esteem concerns.
Julie describes therapy as a way of gaining distance and fresh perspective on problems that feel stuck or overwhelming. She uses clear, practical steps alongside reflection so people can try small changes and notice real differences.
Background and approach
Those small steps often lead to bigger shifts in confidence and direction. Her approach balances insight with action. Conversations look at patterns and assumptions that keep someone repeating the same habits.
Then she helps break those patterns with manageable experiments and new behaviors to try between sessions. Julie aims to help people live more intentionally and make deliberate choices instead of following old habits by default. She values straightforward dialogue and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
The focus is on building clearer thinking and practical skills that fit each person’s life. If therapy feels like the next step, Julie welcomes the chance to hear each person’s story and work together toward clarity, resilience, and a stronger sense of direction.
Practical approaches for online therapy and change
Julie uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear thinking and step-by-step practice. One approach emphasizes building awareness of unhelpful patterns and testing small behavior changes to create momentum; it suits people who want concrete tools and gradual progress. Another approach centers on grief, loss, and coping with life transitions by helping people name what matters and find manageable ways to move forward.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds so the work fits real life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging lets someone check in or do short exchanges between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or a busy schedule while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
