About Julia

Julia (Jurate) Mcgarry is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with seven years of clinical work. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship or parenting stress. Her tone is direct and encouraging for someone taking a first step toward help.

Her practice adapts to each person's needs. She draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered care.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as exploring patterns that keep problems repeating. Julia pays close attention to how early connections and attachment issues shape current relationships and reactions. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas and motivational interviewing to help people clarify what matters and find the motivation to change.

Those methods are used alongside practical skills for mood, sleep, and coping when life becomes overwhelming. In sessions she aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space for honest conversation. People can expect active listening, clear feedback, and collaborative goal-setting so progress feels achievable.

The work is paced to the individual's comfort and readiness. She supports people through grief, anger, identity and body image concerns, and stress from caregiving or career change. Her experience includes helping with substance use issues, trauma, dissociation, and chronic shame.

Julia works in English and practices from New York.

Online support

How attachment work and practical therapies translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses. Online sessions can be used to identify those patterns, practice new ways of relating, and try small changes between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify values and take action even when uncomfortable feelings are present; it is useful for depression, anxiety, and stress when someone wants concrete direction and inner acceptance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skills for mood, sleep, and coping during everyday life.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans together when something is not working. Clients often blend approaches so therapy addresses both immediate problems and longer standing patterns.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for relationship work and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a shorter, more flexible touchpoint is needed. These options make scheduling easier and let people keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
