About Julie
Julie Elliott is a clinician based in Texas with 35 years of experience in mental health care. She holds an MD and is licensed as a clinical social worker (LCSW-C, LCSW). Julie brings a steady, practical approach for people facing intense life challenges and long-term concerns.
She focuses on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and addiction. She also helps with relationship worries, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, and career stress.
Background and approach
Her work includes support for people navigating bipolar disorder, major life changes, and compassion fatigue. Julie uses approaches that emphasize emotions, attachment, and the client’s own goals. She combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when helpful.
Sessions are aimed at understanding feelings, improving communication, and building day-to-day coping skills. Her history includes international work and decades of clinical practice across settings. That background informs a calm, experienced style that balances direct problem-solving with attention to emotional needs.
Julie keeps language plain and practical so people can understand each step. People typically begin by describing the problem they want to change. From there she helps set goals and chooses strategies that fit the person’s life and schedule.
Her practice supports English speakers and accepts international clients.

Online support
Emotion and Attachment Work Online
Julie uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and make sense of strong feelings. EFT focuses on how emotions shape reactions and relationships, and it can help with grief, intimacy struggles, and trauma-related emotions.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds affect current patterns. That approach helps people recognize repeated ways of coping and practice different, more supported ways of relating to others. Julie pairs those ideas with Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person’s own goals and pace during work together.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Julie will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try and adjust as work progresses. The plan is collaborative so strategies match daily life and real constraints.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets you read facial expressions and tone, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, flexible communication between appointments. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and travel.
