Julie Peterson LCSW

Anxiety can affect your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and daily life. I work with children, teens, adults, and seniors experiencing worry, fear, stress, and feeling overwhelmed. Using a compassionate, individualized approach, including CBT techniques when appropriate, I help clients identify triggers, understand anxious thought patterns, develop practical coping skills, and build greater confidence and a sense of calm.

Divorce can bring significant change for the entire family. I work with adults navigating grief, stress, relationship changes, and the challenges of creating a new normal. I also support children as they adjust to changes at home, helping them express emotions, develop healthy coping skills, and feel heard and supported. My goal is to provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space for healing, adjustment, and moving forward.

Depression can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, exhausted, or unsure of how to move forward. I work with children, teens, adults, and seniors experiencing depression and related challenges. Using a compassionate, individualized approach, including CBT techniques when appropriate, I help clients understand their emotions, develop healthier coping skills, recognize unhelpful thought patterns, and work toward greater hope and well-being.

Families can face challenges that leave everyone feeling frustrated, disconnected, or misunderstood. With over 20 years of experience working with children and families, I help family members improve communication, navigate conflict and life transitions, strengthen relationships, and better understand one another. My approach provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space where each person can feel heard while the family works toward healthier connections.

I incorporate DBT techniques to help clients better understand and manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and respond to difficult situations in healthier ways. We may focus on skills such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and effective communication. My approach is compassionate and practical, helping clients build skills they can use in everyday life while creating meaningful and lasting change.

I use CBT techniques to help clients understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors can influence one another. Together, we identify unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier ways of thinking, and build practical coping skills for everyday challenges. CBT techniques can be helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, and emotional concerns. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s individual needs.
