About Julie
Julie Fuentes is a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who speaks English and Spanish. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. Julie keeps sessions warm and direct so people can talk through practical problems and start making changes.
She brings 12 years of experience across inpatient, outpatient, community mental health, foster care, correctional, and residential settings. That background means she is used to tense moments and complicated histories.
Background and approach
She works with individuals and couples and has particular experience with mood issues like depression and bipolar disorder, trauma, and addiction-related concerns. Julie draws on a mix of approaches to meet each person where they are. She uses Jungian ideas to look at deeper patterns, attachment-based methods to address relationship wounds, and cognitive-behavioral techniques for day-to-day coping.
Dialectical behavior strategies and client-centered listening also shape her sessions when people need emotion regulation or a calm space to reflect. In sessions she aims for clear goals and steady progress. Conversations include skill-building, exploring family of origin themes, and addressing intimacy or sexual-culture topics such as kink when relevant.
She also helps with parenting stress, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Julie emphasizes cultural awareness and has worked extensively with people from diverse ethnic backgrounds and the LGBT community. She invites clients to take small steps toward relief and greater purpose, offering practical guidance alongside thoughtful exploration.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Julie integrates Jungian Therapy to help people notice repeating life patterns and symbolic themes that influence current behavior; this approach can be useful for exploring identity, life purpose, and recurring relationship dynamics. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to address how early relationship experiences shape adult bonds and to rebuild trust and connection in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used selectively, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to relieve symptoms like anxiety and depression.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. Some people start with skill-focused CBT or DBT techniques and later move into deeper Jungian or attachment work as trust and clarity develop.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different routines and needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
