Julianna Bardgett, LCSW

Julianna Bardgett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Idaho who uses practical, talk-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, depression, relationship strain, and trauma. She frames therapy around the person's goals and life, listening first and then offering tools that fit everyday life. With seven years of experience in community mental health and addiction work, she draws on direct practice supporting people with substance-related concerns and complex trauma histories. She has worked with parents, caregivers, and individuals facing relationship shifts, separation, or loss. Her approach mixes cognitive behavioral techniques with attachment-focused work and client-centered conversation. That means sessions often include learning new ways to notice thoughts and reactions, trying small behavior changes, and talking about patterns that show up in close relationships. Julianna also uses elements of dialectical behavior strategies and EMDR for trauma when appropriate. She emphasizes practical skills for stress management and communication, and she helps people explore how past experiences shape current feelings. People can expect straightforward sessions that prioritize clear goals and gentle challenge. Julianna aims to help people build skills they can use outside sessions, whether that means coping tools for anxiety, steps toward recovery from substance problems, or strategies to improve connections with others.

How Julianna’s approaches translate to online therapy

Julianna often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is practical and focused, which can make it easy to use over video or phone when working on anxiety, depression, or habits related to addiction.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to talk about how early relationships influence current patterns. That work looks at emotional responses and safety in relationships and can help with communication problems, codependency, and trust issues during regular online sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs and goals, and will adjust plans as progress is made. Clients and the therapist check in together about what is working and what to try next.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for relationship work, phone can be a quicker option when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and messaging is useful for ongoing encouragement or homework between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days while continuing steady progress.
