About Julie
Julie Tallard Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin with 33 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Julie also supports those dealing with addiction, ADHD, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and life transitions.
Her style centers on building a genuine connection. She believes a strong therapy relationship is the foundation for change. Sessions are guided by the client, with Julie offering questions, reflections, and practical options to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Julie draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy along with client-centered and cognitive-behavioral approaches. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas when helpful. Much of her work invites people to tell their story, notice body-based signals, and try simple skills that bring immediate relief.
She describes therapy as a collaborative navigation. Clients set the direction and Julie helps propose routes to reach their goals. That can mean short-term strategies for coping, insight into patterns from family of origin, or longer work on attachment and emotional regulation.
Julie has written books on healing from trauma and applying cognitive-behavioral tools to everyday life. She has continued learning in somatic awareness and breath practices and brings that experience into sessions when clients are interested.

Online support
How Julie blends emotion-focused work with online care
Julie commonly draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and shift painful emotional patterns, often focusing on how feelings show up in relationships and in the body. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values, and Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions grounded in empathy and the client’s agenda.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s needs and goals, and she adjusts plans as therapy unfolds so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations, phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth needs, and chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules or circumstances change.
