About Julie

Julie Wilson is a warm, down-to-earth therapist who brings an intuitive and often gently humorous presence to her work. She emphasizes a relational approach, centering the therapeutic connection while integrating mindfulness, attachment theory, parts work, and depth psychology to explore both surface symptoms and deeper, often unconscious patterns. Her practice attends to existential concerns as well as the everyday challenges that prompt people to seek support, and she adapts interventions to reflect each person’s unique history and needs.

Julie creates a spacious, non-judgmental therapeutic environment that remains practical and goal-oriented, helping clients move from insight to real-world change. She holds two MA degrees - a Master of Arts in East-West Psychology and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology - and carries the LMFT credential, which denotes a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Using a collaborative stance, she tailors care to address issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleep problems, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other complex life transitions and relational struggles. Her focus on attachment, parts work, and mindful practice informs treatments aimed at healing connection, reducing reactivity, and strengthening emotional regulation.

Attachment and Skills-Based Care Delivered Online



Julie draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help clients understand how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses. This approach supports people working through abandonment, attachment injuries, and difficulties forming secure connections by focusing on safety, repair, and relational awareness.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and respect to create a supportive space where clients can explore their values and goals. This method helps with self-esteem, identity questions, and life transitions by prioritizing the client’s perspective and pacing.

In addition, Julie incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach concrete skills for managing intense emotions, reducing reactivity, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can be especially helpful for coping with stress, mood instability, and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts methods over time so treatment remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into a busy life. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity when in-person visits are difficult, and let clients engage in therapy from familiar settings while working with licensed professionals.
