About Julie
Julie Elliott brings a long clinical path to her work. She trained in social work and holds a Doctor of Medicine degree along with clinical social work credentials, and she has practiced for decades. She is based in Texas and combines her background with a calm, direct style that parents often find reassuring.
Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what steps can help a person feel steadier.
Background and approach
She talks through stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationship strains, and parenting challenges in simple terms. Therapy also covers issues like trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career or life changes. Julie draws on several well-known approaches to tailor sessions to each person.
She uses client-centered work to follow what a person needs. She applies cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-focused and emotion-focused elements help when relationship patterns or hurt from the past are part of the problem.
Her long experience means she has supported people through many different crises and transitions. That includes work around bereavement, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, and substance use. She also addresses issues such as body image, self-esteem, and codependency.
Goals in sessions are set together and adjusted over time. Julie aims to help people build coping skills, improve communication, and regain a sense of control. The pace and focus are matched to each person’s needs and life situation.

Online support
How Julie’s approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice patterns from early relationships and how those patterns affect current bonds. In online work this can guide conversations about closeness, trust, and recurring conflicts. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following what the person brings to a session and offering empathic understanding, which supports honest conversation whether on video or by message. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change them; it is useful for anxiety, mood changes, sleep problems, and coping strategies delivered over calls or chat.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to see which methods fit the goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. Plans are revisited and adjusted as progress is made or needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn't wanted. Live chat or messaging can support short check-ins, skill practice, or people who prefer written communication. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit around work, parenting, or busy days.
