Julianna earned a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Montana and a Master of Social Work from the University of Louisiana.

She listens first, then helps clients set goals and try realistic steps toward them. Sessions often include skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to manage thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Julianna also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She has experience with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which she uses when trauma memories get in the way of daily life. Her approach blends skills training with supportive, client-centered conversation.

Julianna aims to help clients find clearer choices and more effective ways to cope.

How attachment work and skills training translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape present habits and reactions; it helps people recognize patterns in close connections and try new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, letting the person set goals while the therapist offers steady, nonjudgmental support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals, needs, and comfort. That choice can shift over time as new issues come up or progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not specify which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or phone options depending on comfort and bandwidth. Licensed professionals aim to adapt tools like CBT exercises, attachment-focused conversations, and trauma processing techniques so they work well through remote sessions.
