About Julie

Julie Pool is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and intended for individuals seeking help with these issues.

Julie uses practical, evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness, problem solving, and relational approaches. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small behavioral changes, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others. Caregiver stress, communication problems, guilt and shame, and women's issues are among the additional concerns she addresses.

Her approach is collaborative: she works with clients to set clear goals and test what works in day-to-day life. Expect direct, concrete steps alongside time to reflect on emotions and relationships. Julie also supports people dealing with panic attacks, social anxiety and phobias, life purpose questions, and bereavement or other major transitions.

Clients typically learn coping tools they can use between sessions. Julie blends skill-building with conversational work about meaning, values, and relationships. The result is a practical focus on reducing distress while building routines that support longer term balance.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Julie draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT-style work often uses specific exercises and practice tasks that can be reviewed together during sessions and tracked between meetings.

She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice bodily sensations and emotional responses. These are short attention exercises and breathing practices that can be taught in session and repeated at home to reduce immediate distress.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Julie will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as skills are tried and adjusted together.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a week - for example, scheduling around work hours or attending from a location that reduces travel time. Some techniques translate well to remote sessions because they emphasize brief skill practice, check-ins, and homework that can be shared between meetings.
