Evidence-Informed Care, Made Flexible Online

Julia Brown, LCSW, draws from established therapy approaches to help clients work through concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and the effects of trauma, while building skills for long-term coping and resilience.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. It helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new responses, and build practical strategies for challenges such as worry, low mood, and everyday stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes making room for difficult thoughts and emotions while taking steps toward what matters most. It can be especially helpful when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in cycles of avoidance. Mindfulness Therapy supports greater present-moment awareness and steadier emotional regulation, which can be useful for stress, reactivity, and feeling disconnected from oneself.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julia works collaboratively with each client to clarify goals, understand preferences, and adjust the pace and focus of therapy over time so sessions feel relevant and supportive.

Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent with care. Clients can meet through video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility between appointments.
