About Julie

Julie Otis is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 16 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship struggles. She meets clients with straightforward compassion and clear feedback. She aims to help people feel more grounded and more confident in day-to-day life.

Julie uses an attachment-based perspective to understand how early relationships shape current patterns. She also draws on client-centered work to follow each person's pace and priorities.

Background and approach

Sessions include practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when helpful. Her approach is warm but direct. She points out patterns that get in the way, offers alternatives, and supports clients as they try new ways of relating.

Work in sessions often focuses on communication, boundaries, and rebuilding self-esteem after setbacks. Julie has supported people through trauma, social anxiety, codependency, and issues tied to ADHD and impulsivity. She blends insight with skills practice so conversations lead to concrete changes outside the session.

Progress is a collaboration where feedback and effort matter. People who choose Julie can expect clear observations, practical coping strategies, and a focus on how relationships influence mood and behavior. Her goal is steady, meaningful change that improves everyday functioning and relationships.

Online support

Attachment and Skills-Focused Online Therapy

Julie combines attachment-based therapy with client-centered work to explore how past relationships shape current reactions. Attachment-based work looks at connection patterns and how they affect trust, closeness, and emotional responses, which can help with relationship anxiety and feeling disconnected. Client-centered therapy keeps the focus on the client's goals and pace, offering a respectful space where the therapist follows what matters most to the person.

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. CBT tools can help reduce anxiety, manage impulsivity, and improve day-to-day functioning. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process; Julie will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or ongoing skill practice. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different comfort levels while keeping the work focused on progress and everyday changes.
