About Julie
Julie Hamoui is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience in mental health and wellness. She practices in Florida and focuses on helping people build kinder, more realistic relationships with themselves. Julie emphasizes practical steps clients can take to feel steadier and more capable in daily life.
She uses a person-centered approach that begins with listening and understanding each person’s goals. Sessions often target negative self-talk and unhelpful beliefs, then reframe those thoughts so they support healthier choices. Julie blends simple mindfulness and motivational techniques to create manageable daily practices.
Conversations in sessions also draw on cognitive-behavioral tools to spot patterns and try new behaviors. Dialectical skills are used when emotions feel intense, and attachment-focused ideas help when relationships shape present difficulties. These methods are adapted to the immediate problem the person brings, like stress, grief, or career concerns.
Julie works with issues such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and addiction, and she also supports people facing parenting strain, caregiver stress, or major life changes. She aims to validate feelings while offering concrete coping tools to use between sessions.
The decision to start therapy can feel hard. Julie aims to make the first steps straightforward: she listens without judgment and helps people set clear, achievable goals. Her approach is collaborative and focused on building practical skills that fit daily life.

How chosen approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and reactions. It helps when trust, closeness, or separation are causing ongoing stress in relationships or in how someone relates to themselves.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying negative thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is practical for reducing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behavior patterns by teaching clear steps to change thinking and action.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and together they will choose or combine methods that feel most useful. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs shift.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use video when they prefer face-to-face contact or opt for other arrangements if camera use is difficult. Discussing practical needs up front helps shape sessions that match everyday life.
