About Julie
Julie Fuentes is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, addiction, and life transitions. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Julie draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early bonds shape current relationships.
She also uses client-centered methods to make sessions collaborative and grounded in each person's values.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when practical changes in thinking and behavior can ease symptoms. With twelve years of experience in California, Julie has worked across inpatient, outpatient, community mental health, foster care, correctional, and residential settings. That background gives her familiarity with a range of mental health and relationship challenges, including mood disorders and trauma.
Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. Sessions focus on clear goals and usable strategies rather than jargon. Julie encourages parents and partners to bring real-life concerns into the room so therapy feels relevant to daily life.
She helps people sort through relationship problems, issues tied to identity and sexuality, grief, and the stress that comes with work and caregiving. The aim is to build practical coping skills, improve communication, and increase emotional awareness so people can move forward with more confidence.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Julie uses attachment-based ideas to help people see how early relationships affect current patterns. This approach focuses on understanding connection needs and shifting how people relate in close relationships. It can help with intimacy problems, trust issues, and repeated fight-or-withdraw cycles.She also practices client-centered therapy, which centers the person's goals and values. In sessions the therapist follows the client's lead, listens closely, and helps people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used alongside these approaches, targets the thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety and depression and offers practical steps to change them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, symptoms, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as needed so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and allow people to fit care into busy lives.
