01About Julie
Julie Gallivan is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage relationship and family concerns. She works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Julie also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, grief, trauma and issues with intimacy and self-esteem.
She uses straightforward, collaborative talk therapy. Sessions focus on small, practical steps clients can try between meetings. Julie draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to tailor work to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Julie brings six years of clinical experience in Michigan to her practice. That time includes helping clients with addiction concerns, bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related struggles. She also addresses family-of-origin issues, divorce and separation, blended family dynamics, and caregiving stress.
When faith is important to a client, she can integrate Christian perspectives and is willing to pray on request. She frames any spiritual material around the client’s goals and preferences rather than imposing beliefs. In sessions clients can expect clear conversation about patterns, communication, and coping skills.
Julie aims to help people build better routines, set healthier boundaries, and improve how they show up in relationships. Progress is tracked through goals set together in therapy.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help people who feel stuck during life changes and want a clearer sense of purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and handle stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s own experience and pacing, helping people feel heard while they decide what changes matter to them.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit best with their goals, preferences, and daily life. That may mean trying one way for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people talk face to face when bandwidth allows. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when hands-free conversation is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing tracking of progress between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep continuity when life gets hectic.
