About Julie

Julie Hamoui is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with more than twelve years of experience in mental health. She draws on a broad clinical background working with individuals, families, and groups to help people strengthen their relationship with themselves and navigate life’s transitions.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes addressing unhelpful thoughts and beliefs while building practical skills for everyday coping and self-care. Julie centers person-focused care in her work, encouraging clients to explore emotions, validate their experiences, and discover compassionate ways of relating to themselves.

She employs tools from Internal Family Systems, cognitive-behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and solution-focused work to reframe thinking patterns and cultivate healthier habits. Throughout the process she aims to offer steady encouragement and concrete skills clients can use between sessions.

Those seeking support for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, trauma, addiction, ADHD, caregiving stress, or body image and identity issues may find Julie’s style practical and compassionate. She describes herself as a self-love advocate who meets clients where they are and partners with them to pursue meaningful, achievable goals.

How Integrative Approaches Translate to Online Care

Internal Family Systems (IFS) invites clients to notice and compassionately relate to different parts of themselves, helping reduce internal conflict and increase self-leadership; it can be useful for people navigating anxiety, trauma responses, and patterns of self-criticism. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current ways of relating and helps build safer, more stable connections with others and oneself. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and creating a collaborative space where the client’s values and goals guide the work.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Julie will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjust techniques over time to support measurable progress and comfort in sessions.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work from different locations within Florida. These formats support ongoing practice of skills between sessions and allow therapists and clients to tailor contact frequency and communication style for the way a person lives and heals.
