Julie Rothfeld, LMHC

Julie Rothfeld is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She holds a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from the College of William & Mary and brings four years of clinical experience to her practice.

Julie focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and depression. She also supports those coping with relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, and life changes. Her work includes concerns such as sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is collaborative and person-centered. She listens first and then tailors conversations and goals to what each person needs. Julie draws from methods like attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative approaches, and solution-focused planning to address patterns and build practical skills.

People meet with her to sort through difficult feelings tied to abandonment, attachment wounds, infidelity, divorce, or caregiving stress. She also helps with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and issues common to women in midlife transitions. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most and create manageable steps forward.

Julie emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion during the process. She encourages realistic goals and steady progress, and she supports clients as they try new ways of relating to themselves and others.

How attachment work and CBT translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions this looks like talking about relationship histories and noticing repeated ways of reacting. That helps when issues involve abandonment, attachment wounds, or trouble trusting others.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, centers on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses clear, practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to build coping skills for anxiety, mood shifts, sleep problems, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or offering a way to meet when leaving home is difficult. They also let people use video or phone choices that suit their comfort and bandwidth. Ask about specific session formats when you schedule to find what will work best for your routine.
