About Julie

Julie Mayer Norvilas is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 16 years of experience. She focuses on relationship and individual concerns, including stress, anxiety, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and codependency. Julie aims to help people move forward at their own pace with supportive, curiosity-driven guidance.

Her approach is collaborative and practical. Sessions center on identifying goals and building skills to reach them. She uses a warm, curious style that invites reflection and steady progress rather than rushed solutions.

Julie draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections shape current relationships. She also uses emotionally-focused strategies to help people notice and shift the patterns that cause pain. The Gottman Method and client-centered techniques inform her work with communication and problem-solving skills.

She offers both live video and phone sessions to give clients flexibility in fitting therapy into their routines. Those session options can make it easier to have consistent check-ins while balancing other commitments. International clients can be scheduled as needed.

Julie also incorporates mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support coping, self-esteem, and decision-making. She describes her role as a collaborator and coach, helping people clarify values and take practical next steps toward healthier relationships and greater well-being.

How Julie’s Approaches Guide Online Work

Julie uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections shape current relationships and emotional reactions; this helps with trust, closeness, and codependency concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to notice emotional patterns and create new ways of responding in relationships, which can ease recurring conflict and distance.

Client-centered therapy underpins her meetings by keeping the client’s experience central; she listens closely and follows what matters most to the person in front of her. Finding the right approach is part of the process, and she works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s goals and preferences rather than imposing a single path.

Julie offers live video sessions and phone sessions to add flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or travel. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for relational work and nonverbal feedback, while phone sessions can be easier when a shorter check-in or less bandwidth is needed. If you have questions about which session options are currently available, confirm those details before booking so the format fits your daily life and goals.
