About Julie
Julie Tallard Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 33 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and codependency among other areas. She works with adults who find themselves putting others first, struggling with boundaries, or coping with loss and painful life changes.
Her style centers on the relationship between client and therapist. She uses a mix of relational, narrative, and somatic ideas so conversations pay attention to both story and body. Clients tell their stories, notice what happens in their bodies, and practice new ways of responding to old patterns.
Julie draws on practical methods like cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based techniques to create concrete steps people can use right away. She often introduces awareness and breath practices to help reduce overwhelm and increase insight. Sessions are guided by what the client wants to address and move toward.
She describes the client as the person in charge of the work while she offers options and paths forward. That can mean small tools for daily coping, changes to long-standing habits, or learning to set firmer boundaries with others. She also brings material from books and teaching to support learning between sessions.
Julie has worked both in person and online across many years and continues learning through trainings and client work. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Julie often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice painful thoughts and then choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for chronic anxiety, low mood, and for clarifying what matters when relationships feel overwhelming.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on building a real, respectful relationship where the client's experiences guide the work. That approach supports people who need space to tell their story and test new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common thread; it provides simple, practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns and to manage symptoms like insomnia, worry, or anger.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative part of the process. Julie talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they pick methods and adjust them over time so the work stays useful and practical.
If you want online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone use breathing and body-awareness practices from wherever they are, while still working through relationship patterns and codependency-related concerns.
