About Julie

Julie Hamoui is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 12 years of experience in mental health work. She supports adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, parenting strains, relationship and family concerns, trauma, mood disorders, and related challenges. Sessions are presented in approachable language and focus on practical change.

Julie prioritizes helping people shift negative beliefs about themselves. She uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive-behavioral ideas to notice and change unhelpful thoughts. Mindfulness and brief, goal-focused techniques are also part of her work to build everyday coping skills.

Her approach emphasizes clear, usable strategies rather than abstract theory. Clients can expect to talk through specific patterns, try small experiments between sessions, and practice skills for managing mood, stress, and interpersonal conflict. The pace is adjusted to what each person can manage.

She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current behavior and connection patterns. Dialectical behavior ideas are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Emotionally-focused perspectives guide work on relationship reactions and closeness issues.

Julie also brings experience addressing caregiving stress, blended family issues, body image and addiction-related concerns. She describes herself as a self-love advocate and focuses on helping people develop kinder, more realistic self-talk. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches shape online work

Attachment-based work looks at patterns of connection and how early relationships influence current reactions. It helps when people want to understand why they feel distant, anxious, or overly guarded in relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new, realistic ways of thinking. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives concrete tools to change mood and behavior.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Julie will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit each person's needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation can begin in the first sessions and change over time as needs shift.

Confirm the currently supported session formats before booking, since none are specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a break, or video sessions let people work through interpersonal issues while reflecting on facial cues. Phone sessions may require less bandwidth and can be useful for brief updates. The focus is on practical changes that fit everyday routines rather than on technical details of how sessions are delivered.
