About Julie

Julie Hatfield is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience supporting people in Montana and North Dakota. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and challenges around parenting and self-esteem. She aims to meet each person where they are and to treat them with sensitivity and respect.

Julie takes a straightforward approach in sessions. She listens first to understand what feels hardest, then works with the person to set simple, realistic goals.

Background and approach

She uses clear strategies to manage overwhelming feelings and improve daily functioning. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-focused rather than lecture-style. People often come to her when life changes feel heavy or when past hurts keep coming up.

She also supports those coping with grief, anger, workplace strain, and compassion fatigue. Julie has experience addressing adoption and foster care issues, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, and communication problems. Her work includes support for people navigating bipolar symptoms, ADHD, dissociation, and impacts of domestic violence.

She also addresses family of origin issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and the fallout from impulsivity. She adapts approaches to fit each person’s needs and abilities. Julie welcomes people from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQ individuals and first responders.

She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or messaging to make therapy workable for different schedules and situations. If someone is ready to begin, they complete a short questionnaire and schedule a session.

Online support

Practical approaches for online therapy and change

Julie uses evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One approach emphasizes identifying triggering thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to reduce anxiety and worry. This helps people learn to react differently in stressful moments. Another method focuses on learning concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day functioning, which can be useful for trauma responses, anger, and mood instability.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to current struggles, personal goals, and daily routines, then suggest methods that fit. Clients and the therapist check progress regularly and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions let people use face-to-face conversation when possible. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Chat and messaging support shorter updates, reflection between sessions, and people who prefer typing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
