About Julie
Julie Hamoui is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with over 12 years in mental health and wellness. She focuses on helping people build a healthier relationship with themselves and supports clients through stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at people who want practical tools as well as compassionate listening.
She uses a person-centered approach that keeps the client's goals first. Sessions look at negative beliefs and unhelpful thought patterns and reframe them into more useful perspectives. Cognitive techniques and mindfulness are used to help reduce distress and strengthen daily routines.
Julie incorporates emotion-focused ideas to support difficult feelings and attachment-based thinking to understand relationship patterns. She also draws on elements of dialectical behavior therapy when people need concrete skills for intense emotions. These methods are offered in simple language so clients can try tools between sessions.
In a typical meeting she will listen to what matters most to the client, validate their experience, and co-create a plan for change. That plan often includes coping strategies, communication skills, and goal-focused exercises to practice outside of sessions. Julie describes her work as encouraging people to BE and to be themselves.
She works with a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addiction issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and identity questions related to LGBT experiences. Sessions are held in English and reflect twelve years of practical work in varied mental health settings.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Julie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into small, manageable steps and is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connection patterns affect current relationships. This approach helps people understand emotional responses and improve how they relate to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and needs. Together they will adjust techniques over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Confirm current online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let someone attend from a quieter place or use a phone call when video is not possible. Licensed professionals will discuss which format best supports the person's goals and daily routine.
