About Julie
Julie Adams is a licensed mental health counselor with nearly three decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. She is based in Washington and works with parents and individuals navigating family and parenting challenges. Julie aims for clear, respectful conversations that match each person’s needs and goals.
Her approach is practical and adaptable. She tailors sessions and treatment plans to what each person brings, focusing on concrete steps and steady progress rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Julie emphasizes sensitivity and respect in every conversation.
Across her career she has worked in schools, psychiatric hospitals, high-risk homes, and in private practice. That range of settings informs how she handles everyday struggles and more complex situations. She has also served as a child specialist in collaborative law contexts, bringing experience with systems that affect families.
Julie draws on life outside the office as well. She says lessons from her Native American roots shape how she listens and responds. In her free time she enjoys kayaking, boogie boarding, swimming, and fossil hunting, and she follows sports.
She does not work with addiction or couples. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Julie frames the work as a partnership where clients decide goals and pace. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How evidence-based approaches guide online therapy
Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at clear problems and everyday functioning. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood; it helps people notice patterns and practice different ways of responding. Another approach emphasizes skill-building for managing stress and improving parenting strategies so daily routines and interactions feel more manageable.Finding the right combination of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. That process guides which techniques are emphasized and how sessions are structured.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Phone sessions may be useful when less bandwidth or no video is preferable, while video can support face-to-face discussion when helpful. Overall, online work aims to make regular progress while fitting around family and parenting responsibilities.
