About Julie
Julie Rothfeld is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She holds a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from the College of William & Mary and brings four years of clinical experience to her work. Julie focuses on practical steps that help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles.
She listens with respect and sensitivity. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Julie helps clients develop clearer goals and small daily practices to feel steadier and more capable.
Background and approach
Her work includes support for trauma and abuse recovery, coping with life changes, grief, and issues with intimacy. She also addresses concerns such as sleep problems, anger, parenting strain, addiction-related patterns, and compassion fatigue. When needed, she explores deeper themes like attachment wounds, abandonment, guilt, and forgiveness.
Julie uses approaches that focus on the person in front of her. She draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns, client-centered skills to keep conversations grounded in the client’s priorities, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She may also use narrative ideas to help people reframe difficult life stories.
People who benefit tend to want straightforward guidance, practical tools, and steady support while they make changes. Julie offers a calm, collaborative style that aims to help each person find workable next steps and build longer-term resilience.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Julie commonly uses attachment-based work to help people understand how past relationships shape current patterns. This approach can be useful for people struggling with intimacy, abandonment, or ongoing communication problems. She also incorporates client-centered methods that keep the conversation focused on what matters most to the person in the room, offering empathy and reflection rather than imposed solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is another tool she draws on to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. Julie will ask about goals, past experiences, and day-to-day challenges, then suggest approaches that match those needs. The plan can change over time as progress and priorities shift, and the client’s preferences guide which methods are used.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions are helpful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into workday breaks or require less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat are useful for shorter check-ins and ongoing coaching. These options let people fit therapy into busy lives while maintaining continuity of care.
