About Julie

Julie Elliott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Clinical and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 35 years of practice based in Texas. She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Houston in 1990 and has worked in the United States as well as internationally. Her listed concerns include stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting, anger, and related areas.

She uses a mix of approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, and emotionally-focused interventions. Sessions focus on practical skills as well as understanding how patterns developed over time. Conversations are direct and aimed at changing what gets in the way of daily functioning.

Julie draws on long experience with complex issues such as substance use, sexual trauma, PTSD, and caregiver stress. She also notes additional attention to matters like abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, body image, and co-occurring conditions. That breadth shapes how she frames problems and plans next steps.

Her practice emphasizes clear goals and observable steps rather than abstract theory. Clients can expect discussion of coping tools, communication adjustments, and ways to interrupt reactive habits. Progress is measured by how daily interactions and moods change over time.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Fees vary with location and services use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and helps people notice and change repetitive responses that cause friction. This approach can be useful for relationship strain, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active. CBT uses clear exercises and homework to shift thinking and reduce reactive behaviors like snapping or buildup of resentment. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger-related patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will discuss what feels most helpful and try methods that match the client's goals and preferences. That process is collaborative and may combine conversation with skill practice to see what changes are effective.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work with a licensed professional even if they move or travel, while keeping scheduling flexible and practical.
