About Julie
Julie Tallard Johnson greets visitors with clear, direct care for stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship concerns. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who aims to help people build practical skills and personal insight. Julie writes plainly and listens without judgment to understand what matters most to each person.
She favors a relational approach that centers the connection between client and therapist. Julie believes a genuine, skillful relationship helps people try new ways of handling difficult feelings and patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses narrative work to help people tell and reframe the stories they carry about themselves. Julie incorporates somatic awareness into sessions, paying attention to how emotions show up in the body. She pairs that with cognitive-behavioral ideas when helpful, so clients get both mind-based tools and body-based practices.
Breath awareness and gentle body-focused exercises may be used to increase self-regulation. With more than three decades of experience, Julie combines practical strategies, simple tools, and an educational stance. She often offers techniques people can use right away to manage stress, sleep, cravings, or strong emotions.
Sessions are guided by what each person wants to work on, with the client steering the pace and goals. Julie has written books about healing from trauma and building emotional well-being. She continues to learn through trainings and from the people she works with.
Her style is grounded, compassionate, and focused on helping people find clearer choices and sustainable change.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online change
Julie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her online work. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-centered work focuses on a warm, accepting relationship where the person leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathetic reflection and support.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques when helpful to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises. CBT tools are often used for sleeping problems, worry, cravings, and mood regulation because they give clear steps people can practice between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as needed. Julie emphasizes working together to find an approach that fits each person's needs and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and body awareness, phone calls can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
