Julie Tallard Johnson

Julie helps people name what matters to them and take small steps toward change. Julie focuses on a relational, narrative, and somatic approach.

She believes a strong connection between client and therapist is the foundation of helpful work. Sessions center on listening, telling your story, and noticing how feelings show up in the body.

Julie combines simple strategies, practical tools, and inquiry to make change feel doable. She uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and the Gottman Method.

Julie emphasizes breath and body awareness alongside talk-based interventions to build insight and coping skills. She describes herself as a navigator who follows the client’s lead.

Julie has extensive experience across face-to-face and online formats. She writes about trauma recovery, healthy living, and cognitive-behavioral tools in several books.

Her work often helps people manage life transitions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, grief, and codependency patterns. Sessions aim to produce immediate, usable strategies as well as deeper insight.

Julie encourages curiosity, vulnerability, and practical experimentation so clients can try different routes forward. She welcomes international clients and offers sessions in English from Wisconsin.
