About Julie

Julie Fuentes is a bilingual therapist and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), with 12 years of experience in the mental health field. She provides therapy in both English and Spanish and has worked across a wide range of clinical settings, including inpatient and outpatient services, community mental health, foster care programs, correctional environments, and residential treatment for youth.

Her clinical work includes support for individuals and couples facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, childhood trauma, and relationship concerns. She has extensive experience working with culturally diverse clients and has provided services for members of the LGBTQ community. Julie integrates knowledge from multiple therapeutic approaches to address issues such as stress, addiction, grief, intimacy and parenting challenges, and coping with life changes.

Julie emphasizes a caring, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where professional support complements the help friends and family can offer. She approaches therapy collaboratively, helping clients explore patterns, process difficult experiences, and build skills to move forward. Julie aims to empower those she works with to pursue healing and to reach their personal potential.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Julie draws from attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide her online practice. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current emotional responses and interpersonal dynamics, helping clients address issues like abandonment, intimacy difficulties, and family-of-origin concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own goals and values guide the process, which can be helpful for building self-esteem, processing grief, or navigating life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep-related struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Julie works collaboratively with clients to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from different models as appropriate, honoring each person’s pace and cultural background.

Online therapy with Julie is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic distance within the same state. These options make it easier for clients to maintain continuity of care and to access support in formats that suit their daily lives.
