About Julie

Julie Hamoui is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 12 years of experience in mental health and wellness. She has worked with individuals, families, and groups across a range of ages and needs, bringing a person-centered focus that emphasizes self-compassion and personal growth.

Background and approach

Julie prioritizes helping people develop healthier relationships with themselves by examining unhelpful beliefs and learning practical skills to support daily functioning and emotional balance. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with attachment-informed perspectives and client-centered care to reframe negative thoughts and build mindful habits.

Sessions emphasize validation of feelings and thoughtful collaboration on goals, using tools such as skill-building, coping strategies, and motivational techniques. Julie aims to create an accessible space where clients can explore challenges like anxiety, depression, grief, stress, addiction, parenting concerns, and identity-related issues while working toward sustainable change.

She encourages a collaborative process in which clients and therapist identify tailored strategies and practice tools that fit each person’s life. Julie welcomes people who want practical, compassionate support to navigate life transitions, manage mood and stress, and cultivate greater self-acceptance and resilience.

Online Support Integrating CBT and Attachment-Informed Care

Julie uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is practical and often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-based perspectives explore relational patterns and early bonds to better understand current emotional responses and interpersonal challenges, which can be useful for relationship concerns, attachment issues, and grief.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors methods and tools that feel like a good fit. Clients and therapist work together to trial strategies and adjust the plan over time so therapy aligns with what matters most to the individual.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and life demands. These remote formats make it easier to access regular support from a licensed professional without travel, and they allow for ongoing skill practice between sessions using methods that fit daily routines.
