About Julie

Julie Mitton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Utah with 18 years of experience. She uses down-to-earth, practical techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship struggles. Julie draws on her background as a parent to relate to common family pressures and parenting challenges.

In sessions she focuses on building skills clients can use between meetings. That includes coping tools for depression, grief work, and ways to handle life changes. She also supports people facing trauma, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, career stress, and caregiver burnout.

Julie blends several established approaches to meet individual needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on what matters to the person, and cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also draws on dialectical skills and emotionally-focused work when those methods fit the goals.

Her past settings include outpatient clinics, schools, and community mental health, which gives her a range of practical experience. Julie emphasizes teamwork in therapy - she and the client set goals and try new skills together. She aims to be nonjudgmental and to help people find confidence through practice.

Practical notes: Julie is licensed in Utah and meets with people who are physically located in Utah. Sessions require a reliable internet connection and work best on a computer or laptop.

How Julie Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Julie commonly draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. That approach can help people understand trust issues, abandonment fears, and relationship conflict in a straightforward way.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which keeps the session focused on the person's own goals and perspectives. This approach emphasizes listening, validation, and helping clients identify what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another frequent tool; it helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors tied to anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work Julie does with each person. She will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level, and she adjusts plans as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into a busy schedule, making it easier to check in during a lunch break, and using a computer for stable video connection as recommended in her profile.
