About Julie
Julie Lehman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 12 years of clinical experience. Julie focuses on relationship concerns and related areas such as codependency, communication problems, and sexuality issues. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Julie works with people who are trying to understand how their needs and desires fit within relationships. They help people who struggle with people-pleasing, setting boundaries, jealousy, infidelity, and non-monogamous arrangements. Julie also supports clients dealing with sexual trauma, sexual dysfunction, and issues related to kink, BDSM, or alternative sexual cultures.
The approach centers on listening closely and helping clients name what matters to them in relationships. Julie uses practical conversation to identify patterns that keep people stuck and to try different ways of responding. That can mean practicing clearer requests, testing a new boundary, or talking through a difficult conversation before trying it in real life.
Julie brings attention to identity and access issues when they affect relationships, including gender dysphoria, HIV or AIDS related concerns, chronic illness, and disability. Work may include coping strategies for medical or pain-related stress and adapting relationship expectations to changing health needs.
People who meet with Julie can expect direct discussion about goals and steps to try between sessions. To begin, readers choose the online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session using the subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic methods and what online work looks like
Julie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people shift relationship patterns. One common method is focused conversation work that examines how interactions unfold and how they could change; this helps with communication problems, jealousy, and practicing new requests. Another approach emphasizes skills practice such as boundary-setting exercises and role-play; this is useful for people who struggle with people-pleasing or codependency patterns.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Julie will help identify goals, try an approach for a few sessions, and adjust based on what is working. Clients and the therapist choose methods together so the work fits the person's needs and preferences.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove commute time so clients can focus on the conversation. Many people find that practicing boundary-setting and communication skills remotely helps them apply those skills in daily life without having to rearrange their entire schedule.
