About Julie
Julie Mitton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Utah. She draws on 18 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and parenting concerns. Julie keeps sessions straightforward and practical so people can use new skills quickly in daily life.
Julie blends approaches that focus on attachment, emotions, and practical thinking. She uses client-centered conversations to understand what matters most. She pairs that with cognitive-behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Dialectical and emotionally-focused ideas help when feelings are intense or relationships feel stuck. Her background includes outpatient and school settings, plus community mental health. That variety shaped how she supports people through grief, life changes, and career or caregiving stress.
She also assists with intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, and navigating blended family or communication challenges. Julie explains things plainly and treats therapy as a team effort. Sessions focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and strengthening attachment in relationships.
She encourages parents to use their existing strengths while learning new techniques that fit their family life. She practices in Utah and offers sessions in English. Julie notes practical matters up front - she prefers a computer or laptop for the best video connection and usually waits ten minutes after a session start if someone is delayed.
Her style is nonjudgmental and goal oriented.
How Julie's Approaches Work Online
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and helps people change patterns that leave them feeling distant or abandoned. It can be useful for intimacy struggles, attachment issues, and blended-family conflicts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives concrete steps to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and shift strong emotions inside relationships so partners and individuals can connect more safely and respond differently.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Julie discusses your goals and preferences and then tries techniques collaboratively to see what fits best. Together you track what helps and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay focused on your needs.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful for full conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Chat and messaging let people share updates between calls and fit support into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice new skills regularly.
