01About Julia
Julia Thompson works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and LGBT-related concerns. They are direct and practical in sessions, helping people name the problem and try straightforward strategies that fit daily life. Julia uses short-term skills and moment-to-moment coaching to help people feel more in control again.

Background and approach
That combination gives them a blend of clinical knowledge and hands-on counseling experience. In sessions Julia teaches simple tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. They also use mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to help people change habits and respond differently to stress.
Sessions focus on practical steps you can use between appointments. Julia aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where feelings can be shared and tested. They speak plainly and work with each person to set realistic, achievable goals.
Homework is short and focused so it fits into busy days. Outside of work they enjoy reading, gaming, crafting stained glass, gardening, and making historical costumes. They live in Maryland and offer therapy in English.

04Online support
Approach-focused online therapy that fits your life
Julia uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns because it breaks problems into small, addressable steps.They also draw on dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. DBT-based skills can help when strong emotions or intense urges get in the way of daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julia will review your situation and preferences, and then suggest techniques or blends of methods to try. The treatment plan evolves based on what helps and what feels workable for you.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let you have a full conversation and work through exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text sessions allow shorter check-ins and quick coaching between longer appointments. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
