About Julie

Julie Wilson is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. She also supports people facing grief, addiction, sleeping and eating concerns, parenting questions, ADHD, and challenges tied to identity such as LGBT issues. Julie writes plainly and meets people where they are. Her style is warm, down-to-earth, and often lightly humorous. Sessions center on relationship - the therapy relationship and the ways attachment shapes daily life. She uses mindfulness, parts work, and deep psychological ideas to look past surface symptoms and notice what feels stuck or unconscious. Julie adapts her approach to each person. She combines practical tools with space to reflect on meaning, life direction, and deeper emotional patterns. Expect a calm, nonjudgmental presence alongside concrete skills when they’re needed. Her training includes two Master of Arts degrees, one in East-West Psychology and one in Counseling Psychology. She holds a California LMFT license and brings about ten years of clinical experience to her practice. People who seek Julie’s help often want both emotional insight and workable strategies. She aims to balance exploration of attachment and inner parts with skills drawn from evidence-informed methods like dialectical behavior techniques and emotion-focused work. If you want a therapist who listens closely and helps you find clearer ways forward, Julie offers that combination.

How Julie’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape feelings and expectations. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns and practice different ways of relating in day-to-day life. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s pace and goals guide the work; it’s useful for building self-trust and exploring values. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs and goals. She may blend attachment work, client-centered listening, and DBT skills so the plan matches what someone wants to change and how they prefer to work. Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people join from different locations. It can also support steady skill practice between appointments and make scheduling more flexible to match work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
