Dr Julie L. Osborn

Social Worker (Mental Health)

“An experienced, compassionate and competent Cognitive Behavioral Therapist teaching her clients lifelong tools. Check out my podcast at MyCBTpodcast for CBT tools.”

About Me

As an experienced Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, I compassionately guide clients to build lasting life skills. We work together to understand your unique patterns and develop practical strategies. My aim is for you to gain actionable tools, feeling more equipped to manage challenges independently. For ongoing support, my podcast, MyCBTpodcast, offers further insights. This approach suits those ready to learn and apply new ways of thinking.

Approach

Teaching practical, lifelong tools, I guide sessions that balance focused skill-building with real-world practice and gentle reflection. In English from my Irvine office or through secure telehealth, our meetings are paced to fit busy lives while leaving room for deeper work. Together we pinpoint unhelpful patterns, practice concrete strategies between sessions, and adjust approaches for relationship strain, life changes, or simmering anger so change sticks. This way of working tends to suit adults and couples ready to engage and grow.
