About Julie
Julie Hatfield is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Montana and North Dakota with 12 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and challenges with self-esteem. Julie also lists experience supporting people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and adjustment to life changes.
Julie uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels stuck. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. She listens for patterns connected to the family people grew up in and helps name how those patterns show up now.
Clients often bring topics like adoption and foster care history, blended family issues, caregiving stress, and family of origin issues. Julie also supports people with ADHD, bipolar concerns, dissociation, and first responder stress when those topics arise. She pays attention to communication problems and difficulties around guilt, shame, or forgiveness.
In the room she aims to be respectful and sensitive while helping people clarify goals. She and the client set small, achievable next steps. Progress is checked regularly and plans are adjusted when needed.
Julie accepts international clients and meets with people in English. She works from a clinical social work perspective and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and everyday problems. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's online options.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Julie works from an evidence-based framework that focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns and testing practical alternatives. One commonly used approach involves structured problem-solving and behavioral strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression by changing daily routines and coping behaviors.Another approach focuses on making sense of family patterns and attachment influences. This helps people notice how roles and expectations from their family of origin affect current relationships and choices. It can be useful for parenting concerns, communication problems, and forgiveness or guilt issues.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods match the client's goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust the plan over time based on what is helping.
