About Julie

Julie Mitton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah who centers her work on mindfulness and practical skills. She blends calm, focused practices with down-to-earth strategies to help people feel steadier in daily life. Julie writes plainly and aims to make sessions feel collaborative and manageable for busy parents and adults.

She has 18 years of clinical experience in outpatient, school, and mental health settings. That background means she has supported people through grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and major life changes. Her years as a parent also shaped how she helps others build useful routines and parenting skills.

Julie uses a mix of approaches depending on a person’s needs. She draws on mindfulness techniques, attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools, and dialectical behavior strategies. In practice this means bringing attention to the present moment, identifying unhelpful thoughts, and practicing new ways to cope with emotions.

Sessions focus on clear goals and simple skills. Julie emphasizes teamwork in therapy and works with clients to create coping plans, strengthen relationships, and address issues like anxiety, depression, grief, and caregiving stress. She also helps people navigate intimacy and communication problems.

She practices in Utah and provides services only when the client is physically located in the state. Sessions require a reliable internet connection and work best with a computer or laptop. Julie welcomes straightforward conversations and practical steps toward feeling better.

How Julie’s Approaches Translate to Online Sessions

Julie integrates mindfulness therapy, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered listening into her work. Mindfulness therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment and can ease stress and sleep problems. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and help improve communication and closeness. Client-centered therapy emphasizes being heard and respected so clients can find their own solutions and build confidence.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Julie collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most and what the client wants to focus on.

Practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling and fitting therapy into a busy day. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and join from home when a quieter moment is available. Because Julie practices while clients are in Utah, confirm current session format options before booking so you know how appointments will be held.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
