About Julie
Julie Wilson is a California LMFT with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults carrying stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and difficulties linked to guilt and shame.
Wilson uses a relational, down-to-earth style in sessions. She draws on attachment ideas and client-centered listening to map how patterns show up in relationships. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach concrete coping skills when strong emotions surface.
Her training includes two master’s degrees, one in East-West Psychology and one in Counseling Psychology, and she holds the LMFT license in California. That background informs an interest in deeper material such as attachment wounds, family of origin issues, abandonment, and how unconscious patterns keep repeating.
In a typical session she combines straightforward conversation with specific skills practice. Clients can expect attention to feelings and to behavior - naming how shame or guilt shows up, and trying small, practical shifts that reduce their grip. She also pays attention to issues such as body image, dissociation, codependency, and caregiver stress.
Julie frames therapy as relational work that asks hard questions and practices new responses. People often come when a part of their life feels stuck - a relationship, a habit, or a recurring emotional reaction. She helps people look at those patterns and try different ways of coping.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early connections and how they shape current relationships. In practice this means naming relational habits, tracing how trust and distance show up, and trying new ways of relating to reduce repeated hurt.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can make sense of their feelings. Sessions using this approach rely on open questions and careful attention to what matters most to the person in front of her.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, when used, brings concrete tools for regulating intense emotions and tolerating distress. That includes short skills practice in session and simple exercises to try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. She collaborates on a plan that may combine relational exploration with skills practice, adjusting as needs change.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and avoid travel time. Different approaches translate well to remote sessions - for example, DBT skills practice can be done in shorter segments, while attachment-focused conversations may take longer reflections. Confirm format options so sessions match your daily life.
