Dr. Julie McCune is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 25 years of experience. She holds a master's degree in counseling and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. Julie works with people at many points in their lives and brings a calm, direct approach to sessions.

Julie focuses on practical skills that people can use day to day. She helps with anxiety, stress, depression, addiction concerns, grief, and trauma. She also supports people facing career strain, relationship and intimacy difficulties, and self-esteem struggles.

Her background includes long experience in private practice and community mental health settings. That mix shapes how she balances short-term goals and deeper work. Julie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - alongside mindfulness and emotion-focused tools to help clients change patterns and feel steadier.

In sessions she teaches coping strategies, stress-management techniques, and ways to rebuild routine after life changes. She also works on communication and problem-solving skills for people handling blended family issues, parenting strains, or caregiving stress.

Julie offers phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging options to fit different schedules. She accepts clients in English and welcomes international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

Her approach is practical and person-centered. She aims to meet people where they are, help them set clear goals, and build tools for lasting change.

How CBT, ACT, and DBT look online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. Online CBT often includes homework, short skills practice, and clear steps to reduce anxiety or change unwanted habits.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult feelings without fighting them and choose actions that match their values. In online sessions this can mean learning brief mindfulness exercises and value-based goals to guide everyday choices.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for regulating intense emotions and improving relationships. In remote work this often involves learning short distress-tolerance exercises, communication scripts, and emotion-regulation techniques that can be practiced between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk about your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit your situation. That plan can change over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule workday check-ins, keep regular skill practice going between meetings, or use shorter messages for quick support. The variety of formats helps people keep therapy consistent with busy lives.
