Evidence-Based Support, Made Flexible Online

Julie Rathbun, LCSW, uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients work through concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. Evidence-based care means the strategies used in sessions are drawn from approaches that have been studied and are commonly used by licensed professionals to build practical skills and emotional insight.

In online therapy, this often includes learning clear coping tools for managing stress and anxious thoughts, strengthening communication and relationship patterns, and developing supportive ways to process grief and major transitions. Sessions can also focus on building self-acceptance and identifying day-to-day steps that move life in a more fulfilling direction.

Because everyone brings different goals, histories, and preferences, finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie works collaboratively with clients to clarify what they want from therapy and to adjust the focus over time so it stays relevant and useful.
