Julie Rothfeld, LMHC

Julie Rothfeld is a licensed mental health counselor who works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and trauma. She earned a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from the College of William & Mary and holds an FL LMHC credential. Julie aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive for people seeking change.

Julie keeps sessions practical and focused on what matters most to each person. She tailors conversations and plans to individual needs rather than using one fixed method. In session she listens closely and responds with sensitivity and respect so clients feel understood.

Her work often addresses low mood, confidence and motivation, grief, and problems with intimacy. She also helps people navigate life transitions, career concerns, and issues tied to family and caregiving stress. Addictions and trauma-related concerns are within her scope of focus as well.

Julie draws on a mix of approaches to match what each client needs. She uses techniques that help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and rebuild stronger connections in relationships. Progress tends to come from clear goals, steady practice, and gentle reflection.

People who reach out can expect a practical, down-to-earth style. The emphasis is on real-world changes and clearer day-to-day coping. Julie supports clients as they work toward more stable mood, better communication, and a greater sense of purpose.

Approaches that guide online sessions and what they do

Julie often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand and change patterns in close relationships; this approach looks at how early bonds shape current ways of relating and helps rebuild trust and closeness. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead so the person feels heard and can choose their own pace and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another tool she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical new behaviors for anxiety, mood, and coping struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick or combine methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process is gradual and reviewed as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking since the biography doesn't list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively over distance, and Julie adapts her approaches so practical skills and relationship work translate to remote sessions.
