About Julia

Julia Spaude is a licensed social worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or big life shifts. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, motivation, and career concerns.

Julia believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths into the room. She offers steady support and practical steps to help people move toward the life they want. Sessions aim to strengthen coping skills and clarify values so change feels manageable.

Her approach blends several methods to match the client’s needs. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and increase psychological flexibility. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to notice and adjust unhelpful thinking patterns. Client-centered work places the client’s perspective and goals at the center of each session.

Julia has seven years of clinical experience as a LICSW in Washington. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and helps people set small, achievable goals. Typical topics include parenting stress, grief, intimacy and sexual concerns, ADHD-related struggles, caregiver strain, and burnout from caregiving or work.

People seeking a therapist for depression, anxiety, or life transitions will find a straightforward, compassionate approach. To begin, prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Julia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people name what matters most to them and take actions that match those values. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing small steps that build a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another key approach and helps clients identify patterns of thinking that increase distress and replace them with more helpful behaviors and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss the options and tailor methods to the client’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances. This collaborative process helps people try techniques that feel useful and drop those that do not.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, and daily life. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, or options that reduce the need for travel and time away from other responsibilities.
