Julie Rosado , LMHC

Julie Rosado is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a decade of experience working across inpatient and outpatient settings. She brings focused clinical expertise supporting LGBTQ+ people, People of Color, individuals living with HIV, and clients navigating chemical dependency and dual diagnosis concerns. Her background includes training in domestic violence response, veteran issues, chronic pain and disability, and teaching assertive communication skills, which she integrates into practical treatment plans.

Julie combines solution-focused techniques with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) approaches to create brief, goal-oriented work alongside deeper skills-based interventions. Her counseling style is direct, interactive, and person-centered, and she often uses therapeutic humor to build rapport and ease difficult conversations. As a veteran of the US Army, she brings lived experience to her work with veterans and the unique challenges they face.

Having navigated long-term struggles with depression and anxiety herself, Julie offers an empathetic perspective informed by personal experience as well as training. She aims to help people explore recovery, strengthen relationships, manage stress and addiction, and find clearer direction in life. Julie welcomes conversations about next steps and supports clients in taking courageous steps toward healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Julie Rosado uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s goals guide the work; this approach helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief, and navigating life changes by emphasizing the client’s own values and choices. She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Additionally, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used to build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when clients face intense emotions or relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Julie collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a tailored plan that can evolve over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility limits, and they provide consistent access to therapeutic support even when in-person meetings are not possible.
