About Julie
Julie Hatfield is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Montana and North Dakota with 12 years of practice. She supports adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation.
She focuses on practical, straightforward help. Sessions cover coping skills for anxiety and depression, ways to approach grief and anger, and guidance on everyday parenting pressures. She also works with people navigating family problems, relationship strain, and life transitions.
Julie offers direct, respectful interaction. She listens for the patterns that make life harder and helps people try new ways of responding. Meetings often include learning concrete skills and planning small steps that fit into a busy life.
Her background includes work across clinical settings over a dozen years, giving her experience with trauma, compassion fatigue, and issues common to first responders. That experience informs how she talks about heavy topics and keeps sessions focused on what the person needs now.
People looking for help with adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, ADHD, or family of origin problems may find her practical approach useful. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions fit everyday life
Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills. One common strand is skill teaching for anxiety and depression, which breaks problems into manageable steps and offers coping tools people can use between sessions. Another approach addresses trauma-related symptoms by helping people notice triggers and practice grounding and regulation techniques to reduce overwhelming reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods match their goals and daily routines. That means adjusting techniques and the pace of work based on what a client needs and prefers rather than following a single fixed plan.
The site’s process starts by viewing online therapy options and completing a short matching questionnaire before scheduling. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available formats when booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. For some people, not being in an office helps them focus on practical steps and apply skills directly in their daily life.
