About Julie

Julie Wilson is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California who supports people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy challenges, grief, addictions, bipolar disorder, parenting difficulties, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She brings a warm, down-to-earth presence and a practical sense of humor to the therapeutic relationship while attending to both presenting symptoms and deeper existential or unconscious material. Her work emphasizes relational connection informed by attachment theory, mindfulness, and depth psychology.

She adapts methods to each person’s history and needs, combining attachment-based strategies, emotion-focused work, parts-oriented exploration, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy when skills-based support is helpful. Julie describes her approach as spacious and nonjudgmental, while remaining grounded and goal-oriented so clients can make meaningful changes.

With 10 years of clinical experience and two master's degrees - one in East-West Psychology and one in Counseling Psychology - she blends traditional training with an interest in inner life and meaning.

Julie tailors sessions to individual preferences and circumstances, aiming to meet clients where they are and help them develop clearer self-understanding and more effective ways of coping.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Julie integrates attachment-based work and emotion-focused approaches into online sessions to help clients deepen relational awareness and process strong emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns shape current relationships and can be useful for people facing communication problems, commitment issues, abandonment wounds, or intimacy-related struggles. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps individuals identify and shift emotional responses within close relationships and is often used when couples or partners seek to improve connection and repair attachment ruptures.

Selecting the right approach is collaborative; Julie tailors methods to a client’s needs, preferences, and goals rather than applying a single model. Early sessions often focus on building safety and understanding the client’s priorities, and then she blends techniques from different theories to match what proves most helpful in therapy.

Online therapy with Julie is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for various schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work consistently from different locations, while allowing therapists to use experiential, reflective, and skills-based interventions suited to each client.
