About Julie
Julie Elliott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 35 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, addictions, grief, and family-of-origin concerns among other issues. Sessions focus on practical ways to address current problems rooted in earlier family patterns.
Julie uses clear, direct conversation to help people identify repeating roles and expectations that began in childhood. She listens for how attachment and family messages shape choices about intimacy, work, and parenting. Her approach blends relational ideas with concrete coping skills so people can see immediate steps to try between sessions.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Houston and a long clinical career that spans practice in Texas plus international work in Canada and the South Pacific. The profile lists multiple therapeutic approaches she uses, including attachment-based and cognitive methods.
In sessions she balances listening with structured tools such as behavioral strategies and emotion-focused work. That mix helps when people need both an understanding of why patterns repeat and clear practice for changing them. Julie also addresses practical problems like sleep, eating concerns, caregiver stress, and substance use alongside relationship issues.
People who come for help with family-of-origin patterns can expect straightforward discussion about roles, boundaries, and communication. She asks about current struggles and family history, then works collaboratively to test new ways of relating and coping.
How Julie Uses Therapeutic Approaches in Online Sessions
Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships shaped current patterns. It looks at roles, closeness and expectations from family of origin and helps people notice how those patterns show up now in relationships and self-care.Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can name what matters most. This approach supports clearer decisions about boundaries, parenting, and intimate needs without imposing a fixed plan.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and habits into steps that can be practiced between sessions. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood shifts, sleep problems, and changing day-to-day responses learned in childhood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help choose which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may shift as progress unfolds.
