About Julie
Julie Jackson is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people untangle overwhelming problems. She focuses on day-to-day struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, addictions, and relationship or intimacy issues. Julie writes plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person.
She believes many problems are like puzzles with several pieces. Julie helps people notice how their thoughts and actions shape their experience, then tries different ways to find what fits.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Julie draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. She blends these to address issues like sleep and eating difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Practical skills and simple experiments are often used between sessions. Her background includes work in mental health and healthcare settings, and she holds a Texas LCSW and a California LCSW. Julie has three years of clinical experience supporting people through transitions and ongoing stresses.
People who work with her typically talk through immediate concerns and develop small, manageable steps toward lasting change. She aims to make therapy understandable and usable, so progress feels real and steady.
Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take action toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It is useful for stress, anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression, worry, and sleep or eating problems. It often uses short exercises and between-session practice to build new habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and how problems show up day to day. That means trying options, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging works well for brief check-ins, quick coping strategies, or support between longer sessions. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, caregiving, or other life demands.
