About Julie
Julie Tallard Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with 33 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, anger, addictions, relationship concerns, parenting stress, and a range of other life challenges. Julie draws on long experience to offer practical tools and straightforward conversation.
Julie describes her work as relational, narrative, and somatic. She centers the therapeutic relationship first, using conversation to revisit the stories people tell about themselves. She also pays attention to bodily experience and simple awareness practices that connect feeling with action.
Her approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) when appropriate. Sessions focus on building insight, learning small strategies, and practicing real skills that can be used right away to change patterns of thinking and behavior.
Julie emphasizes collaboration: clients set the agenda and she offers options and pathways to consider. She has used online and face-to-face formats across her career and integrates breath and somatic awareness practices into sessions when helpful.
She has authored books on trauma recovery and practical CBT tools, and continues professional development through trainings. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people make clearer choices and manage strong emotions more effectively.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Julie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take workable steps toward what matters. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts without getting stuck and acting in ways that align with personal goals, which can help with anger, avoidance, and stress.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thinking patterns that maintain distress and to practice concrete skills for change. CBT offers short, focused exercises and behavioral experiments that translate well to remote work and homework between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie treats the choice of method as collaborative - she listens to goals, suggests options, and adjusts techniques based on what the person finds helpful. Clients steer sessions and she offers routes to consider rather than fixed prescriptions.
The original biography notes she has worked both face-to-face and online, but does not list specific current session formats. Confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let therapists assign simple practices people can use between meetings. Licensed professionals use these formats to keep therapy practical and connected to everyday life.
