About Julie

Julie Williams is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in California. She draws on six years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and concerns about self-esteem and body image. Her style is direct and compassionate, with practical steps people can use between sessions.

She uses straightforward, goal-focused techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. Sessions often include small, manageable experiments and skills to reduce intense feelings and interrupt panic.

Background and approach

Julie explains concepts plainly so people can put them into practice quickly. Julie treats therapy as a joint effort. She works with each person to set clear goals and tracks progress week to week.

The emphasis is on skills that build resilience and make daily life feel more manageable. People who come for help with body image or life purpose work on realistic, step-by-step changes rather than quick fixes. For mood disorders and recurring panic, Julie combines short-term coping strategies with planning for longer-term stability.

She pays attention to how symptoms affect routines, relationships, and work. Her sessions are calm and pragmatic, aimed at helping people return to activities they value. Julie keeps language simple and avoids jargon so parents and busy adults can follow the plan.

She encourages practical homework between meetings to reinforce new habits and maintain gains.

Approaches Julie names

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

How CBT and online sessions work together

Julie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT breaks problems into simple steps so people can practice new responses to anxiety, panic, low mood, and body image concerns. It often includes brief exercises to do between sessions and measurable goals to track progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and preferences. She adjusts plans over time based on what is working and what feels manageable for the client.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video lets people work face to face when that helps learning and connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing reminders between scheduled appointments.

These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and stay consistent with homework. Julie guides people in choosing the session type that best matches their goals, schedule, and comfort level.
