About Julie

Julie Mitton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Utah. She draws on 18 years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and issues like codependency and grief. Julie aims for practical, steady progress and approaches therapy as a collaborative effort.

Julie uses straightforward conversations and practical tools to help people find clearer thinking and better coping. She blends approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to match what each person needs. Sessions often focus on building coping skills, handling life changes, and improving communication.

Her background includes outpatient and school-based settings as well as general mental health work. That variety shaped how she supports parents, individuals facing midlife transitions, people dealing with trauma or loss, and those managing mood issues such as depression or bipolar concerns. She also brings experience supporting caregivers and people facing hospice and end-of-life issues.

Julie describes therapy as teamwork. She works with clients to set clear goals and practice new skills between sessions. Parents are offered practical strategies to use at home while individuals are helped to reduce shame, rebuild self-esteem, and repair attachment patterns.

Sessions are provided while clients are physically located in Utah. Julie notes a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection work best for sessions. She aims to remain nonjudgmental and to encourage steady, achievable change.

How Julie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape current bonds and responses. In practice this means looking at how patterns of closeness and distance show up now and trying new ways of connecting that feel safer and more satisfying.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and everyday coping by practicing new thinking and behavior between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She partners with clients to choose which methods to use and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Julie notes that a laptop or computer and consistent internet connection usually give the best experience. Since her practice serves people while they are physically located in Utah, confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so working people and parents can join more reliably.
