Julie Hamoui, LCSW

Julie Hamoui is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with over 12 years of experience in mental health. She focuses on helping people build kinder relationships with themselves and reduce the impact of stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Julie aims to meet clients where they are and create a calm, respectful space for work to begin.

She centers her work on changing difficult thoughts and long-held beliefs about the self. That often starts with looking at unhelpful thinking patterns and learning simple, practical skills to respond differently. Julie uses tools from cognitive-behavioral approaches and teaches mindfulness skills that can be used day to day.

Julie takes a client-centered stance, which means sessions follow each person’s pace and goals. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how relationships shape feelings and behavior. When helpful, she integrates strategies from dialectical behavior therapy to build emotional regulation and coping skills.

In sessions she talks through current challenges, validates what feels hard, and works with clients to try out new ways of coping. Practical homework and short exercises are common parts of the process. The focus is on useful strategies people can use between meetings to feel steadier.

Julie works with a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, addictions, body image, chronic illness, and relationship strain. She offers care in English and practices in Florida as an LCSW.

How Julie’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Julie often uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT techniques are practical and often include short exercises and worksheets that can be used between sessions to track progress.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and patterns. That work helps people understand why they react a certain way with others and learn new ways of relating that reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will talk with the client about goals and preferences and adapt methods as progress unfolds. Together they choose which skills to practice and when to shift focus based on what feels most helpful.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings around work, school, and family responsibilities, and it can reduce travel time. It also allows therapists to assign digital worksheets and review real-life examples from day-to-day routines to keep therapy practical and focused on immediate changes.
