Julie Mitton , LCSW

Julie Mitton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW - based in Utah with 18 years of clinical experience. She has provided care in outpatient clinics, school settings, and community mental health programs, working with children, teenagers, women, couples, and families.

Her approach draws on practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to help clients clarify goals and build effective coping strategies. She has particular experience supporting people through grief and helping parents identify and strengthen the skills they already use while learning new strategies to manage family life.

Julie views therapy as a collaborative process. She partners with clients to develop coping tools and increase confidence, offering a nonjudgmental space and tailoring interventions to each person’s needs. She conducts sessions for clients who are located in Utah and suggests using a computer or laptop with a reliable internet connection for best session quality.

Outside of her clinical work Julie draws on her own experience as a parent, and she sometimes has a cat that hops onto her lap during sessions. She is licensed to practice social work in the state of Utah.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Julie integrates client-centered therapy, attachment-based therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy into her remote work to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping people discover their own strengths and goals, which can support self-esteem and coping during life transitions. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns in relationships and early connection styles to address issues like abandonment or difficulty with intimacy. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learn practical strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Julie works together with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to ensure the best fit.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can be scheduled around work and family commitments and may take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Julie works with clients who are located in Utah, and these remote options make it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing other responsibilities.
