I have been to A LOT of therapists over the years and let me tell you. This lady is a shining light in that crowd. Julie Bailey listens to each word you feel and takes it into consideration. She is real, kind, and will ask what you need to be asked. If you want progress figure out your biggest downfalls you’re ready to look at and come to this one. It feels like she helps point you in the right direction after giving you a cold glass of tea and warning you about the rickety bridge round the bend. I’ve made immense progress with my panic attacks and mindset in the past year, she makes sure I know too, cheering me on each week. Checking in and patient. Nothing but supportive and encouraging of the healthiest sides of life. Thank you, Julie.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Julie has been great! I would highly recommend her. She is knowledgeable, supportive, and patient.
Julie is a highly skilled, kind, compassionate and very professional therapist. She has helped me take on my past and present issues with the kind of care and support one only hopes to find. She is great with offering knowledge as well as questions to help open up the conversation and allow for new insights to come in. I would recommend her to anyone!
Julie is so kind but she’s also right on the money with the challenges to improve myself and how I perceive and interact with the world around me. A+ for Julie.
Julie had been fantastic, I never feel judged and she helps me sort though my problems without suggesting/ telling me what to do. Nothing but good things from me!!
Julie's the best!
Julie is attentive, compassionate, and cares about her clients.
Kind, calming, and understanding. Julie has a gentle wisdom on both emotional and spiritual levels. I can safely say she's the first therapist I've had in a lifetime of counseling that helps to light lanterns along what's becoming less of a scary path.
Julie cares and understands and can connect with you to help you feel better.
I really appreciate Julie’s unique and encouraging insight. She checks in regularly and always responds in a timely manner. Her guidance has helped me tremendously and now that she’s helped me make goals, I’m actually making progress in my life I didn’t think I was capable of without help. Very thankful for her.
Julie is the best! Such a nice person who really gives you answers when you need them. She’s always there for me and gives me the best advice. I got through some tough times by talking with her and she was really helpful. Strongly recommend Julie!!
She is the kindest and most caring therapist I have ever worked with. She is helpful and compassionate, quick to respond to my texts, and helps me work through my issues. I feel lucky and blessed to have found her!
She's wonderful and has been very kind, understanding, and empathetic while we have talked about my various issues and has helped me be able to see my issues in different lights and ways to help me get through and over them in a better, more positive way.
Julie is kind, patient, and very encouraging. She’s a perfect fit for me.
Julie was my first therapist and through everything she's been there for me. She is so kind and so patient and so helpful on my journey to find inner peace.
Julie Bailey is fantastic. She is always there and super attentive to everything I say or do. She is the best therapist I have ever had.
Julie is easily my favourite therapist. I’ve been comfortable with her from day 1 (it’s been over a year now) and I always feel I can be vulnerable with her. I feel safe and supported, regardless of whether we’re laughing about family life or working through trauma. I can share - or not share - whatever I like, but Julie will absolutely take note of things to explore later. I’m in good hands with her, after years and years of uncomfortable and negative therapy experiences.
Julie is compassionate, understanding, and, relatable.
Very helpful and kind! So glad I paired with Julie because she makes me feel better
She is very kind and easy to talk to. Shows genuine concern and works to connect on a personal yet professional level.
Julie is incredible. She listens, helps me identify the real issues with my struggles, and is a great person. Can’t recommend her enough
In the few sessions I've had with Julie I am already beginning to feel lighter and more willing to look at the light at the end of the tunnel, even if it can be overwhelming. She gives you a space to feel safe and free, and pinpoints your biggest struggles from the mess you can't make heads and tails from. Fantastic.
Very relatable, kind, compassionate, comforting, responsive, thoughtful, and overall a tremendous help and blessing to what I'm currently going through.
Julie has helped me a lot in only a few sessions! She is very attentive and responsive, and it’s almost like she knows what you are going to say. It feels like talking to a friend. I would definitely recommend Julie.
Julie is wonderful. I feel supported, seen and heard and that's really important to me.
Julie has been helping me navigate through some big changes in life. I’m so appreciative of her gentleness and wisdom. Her empathy and faithful encouragement have been a lighthouse. I wish everyone had a Julie. :)
Love Julie- she is amazing
Julie has compassion and understanding. I would recommend her to everyone that needs help.
Julie has been incredible and very supportive! She's offered advice and insight that's been very helpful for me. I felt lighter after venting to her and validated in my frustrations and worries. She has a positive light presence and is easy to chat with.
Julie has helped me so much already on my journey as Because I have recently been diagnosed as being bipolar, and she has been me every step of the way very supportive, and giving me solutions

Julie is the best. She'll helped me in so many ways.
I really do recommend Julie to anyone. She's just all around a very kind woman and she's very relatable. On top of that she makes talking about the hard things just a little bit easier with her understanding personality.
I’ve been with Julie for a year. She’s fun, knowledgeable, attentive, and she genuinely cares. I’ve never felt dismissed or unheard, and always look forward to our weekly sessions. She’s LGBTQ+ friendly and able-inclusive!
I recommend anyone who is new to therapy or has been on their healing journey for a while to consider Julie and her services. She is very attentive and knowledgeable and makes you feel supported. Therapy isn’t easy but she does a great job of making it comfortable to open up and share. It will be a rewarding experience I hope to continue to learn and grow from working with Julie she is highly recommended.

She’s super nice and very easy to talk to. Looking forward to working through some personal issues with her help and support.
Julie has been a huge help and guiding light for me. She was able to help me come out of the dark abyss I was in and is helping me to start living the life I always wanted to be able to live. She is always responsive and attentive to everything I say which is very helpful and reassuring. Simply put, she's the best!

Shes amazing, she listens and I can tell she genuinely cares about me and my mental health. She's been there for Mr every step and can't thank her enough.
Julie has been amazing! She has helped me so much and is so easy to talk to. I felt that I was talking to friend that genuinely cared for me.
My experience with Julie has been really great. I have grown so much and learned how to manage the feelings and thoughts that made me come to BetterHelp in the first place. The progress was a slow uprise each week. No intense or scary changes, just a slow and steady uplift to where I am today. It took a lot of self-work to learn how to control and manage my anxiety, stress and panic attacks. I feel so much more calm and self-respecting, and also I feel like I know myself so much more than I ever have before. Highly recommend :)
Julie is an excellent therapist who holds space for you to talk, offers up her own experiences in efforts to connect, and provides you with genuine support.
I’m a therapist and I’ve been in therapy off and on for almost 8 years. I’ve never made as much progress as I have with Julie in such a short amount of time. She’s the perfect therapist’s therapist—- she knows how we think and work and is great at breaking through all of our defense mechanisms. Can’t recommend her enough.
Julie is amazing and keeps me grounded.
Julie is the best! She truly, deeply cares.
A great therapist
I've only had a few sessions with Julie, but I feel like it's a perfect match. She's a great listener and I'm excited to work with her more. She has great insights and I think this will be a good process.
Julie is amazing. She is the highlight and bright spot in my weeks. I cannot recommend her enough.
Julie has made therapy really easy for me. She made me comfortable with her which is saying a lot because I don't like to talk about my problems. She caught my references and she used those as part of the therapy which felt really relatable !!
Julie is awesome! She has helped me so much
Julie is attentive, insightful, and gentle. She was a great fit for me and I’d recommend her to anyone.
I was pretty hesitant to attend therapy. But from the very first meeting, Julie has made it so easy and comfortable. I really feel heard. It's amazing!
Highly recommend! She’s awesome and very good at listening.
Julie is amazing. She understands me and what I’m going through. Whether our sessions are me just venting, or her asking questions to get the answers out, I am so thankful for her.
Walking through grief from the death of my baby that I will never meet feels like the worst suffering I may ever go through, but Julie has helped me in more ways than she'll ever know. Forever grateful that she holds space for my pain, recognizes my feelings as valid, gently celebrates my highs, and empathizes with me in my lows. I'm unsure of where I'd be if I hadn't started therapy but I'm so glad I made the choice, and that Julie is the one I can share with, my most honest of feelings.
She's just amazing, what else can i say
Julie is AMAZING. Every session makes me more and more confident that I don't the right therapist for me. She has sent me worksheets that help me in coping with some of my more difficult emotions, and she is very personable and easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend.
Julie is absolutely phenomenal, she's kind and a wonderful listener. She makes me feel heard and helps me through my hard time by encouraging me. I am excited to keep working with her
Julie is an incredible therapist who listens, empathizes & truly helps you understand yourself and what you are going through better. I recommend her to anyone looking for extra support in their life.
Julie, warm and lovely Julie, really hears what I say, acknowledges my feelings, and validates my self-assessments of trauma triggers and responses. Speaking with her is like meeting a longtime friend for coffee. She’s been a breath of fresh air for me, after a long string of therapists who just weren’t experienced enough to help me meet my needs and build my toolbox. I feel solidly supported!
I've only had two sessions with Julie but, she has already been a huge resource. I can't wait to continue working with her.
I have had a wonderful experience so far. Julie is a great professional who feels like a friend who's there to listen, provde support and advice, and guide you.
Julie, is already helping to get direction in my life
