About Julie

Julie Jackson brings a practical, problem-solving orientation to therapy grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and complementary approaches. As an LCSW licensed in Texas and California, she frames difficulties as puzzles shaped by perspective and life context, and works with clients to identify patterns that keep problems persistent.

Background and approach

With three years of experience in mental health and healthcare settings, she draws on several evidence-informed methods to help clients explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to develop workable strategies for change.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family challenges, sleep and eating problems, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, blended family dynamics, codependency, domestic violence, and related personality and communication difficulties.

Julie emphasizes collaboration and practical steps so clients can begin applying new skills between sessions and build a more fulfilling life on their own terms.

Using evidence-informed approaches in online therapy

Julie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online sessions to help clients clarify values, shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and develop concrete coping skills. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that contribute to distress, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and stress. ACT emphasizes mindful awareness and values-based action, supporting people who are coping with grief, chronic illness, addiction, or life transitions.

Determining the best fit is a collaborative process. Julie works with each person to explore their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques from different approaches so the plan aligns with what the client finds most useful and sustainable.

Online therapy with Julie can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular support from a licensed professional while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow clients to practice strategies in their everyday environments.
