About Julie

Julie Barrett is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 24 years of clinical experience. She has focused on supporting people through family and relationship concerns, parenting challenges, anxiety and stress reduction, and depression. Her work also addresses motivation, coping with life changes, grief, chronic stress, healing after trauma, and building confidence and self-esteem.

Her clinical interests extend to ADHD, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy challenges, eating-related issues, anger, career transitions, and coaching. Julie blends compassionate listening with practical interventions drawn from established therapeutic approaches to help individuals and families find clearer pathways forward. She brings experience helping people navigate both everyday pressures and major life adjustments.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Julie Barrett commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, helping people explore their experiences and build self-understanding - it is useful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and navigating life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, and stress management. DBT teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions, anger, and coping after trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Julie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process allows techniques to be tailored over time as circumstances and priorities evolve.

Online therapy delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, and other commitments, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from a convenient location.
