About Julianna
Julianna Bardgett, LCSW, uses an attachment-focused and client-centered approach to help people navigate stress, relationship challenges, and trauma. She combines practical tools with time to listen so clients can name their goals and try different ways to reach them. Julianna works from clear, down-to-earth methods rather than jargon. She aims to make sessions feel like a steady place to sort through what matters most.
Julianna earned a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Montana and a Master of Social Work from the University of Louisiana. She has seven years of experience in behavioral health, including years supporting people with substance use concerns and caregivers. Much of her earlier work involved providing services to women with dependent children across western Montana.
Her clinical practice draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. In session she guides clients through practical skills for emotion regulation, communication, and coping with traumatic memories. She also integrates parenting ideas such as Circle of Security and Love and Logic when helpful.
Julianna practices in Idaho as a licensed clinical social worker. Sessions focus on clear goals like reducing anxiety, building healthier relationships, addressing codependency patterns, and supporting recovery from addiction. She works with adults and children beginning at age six, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. Julianna invites people to bring their stories and to move at a pace that feels manageable. She emphasizes small steps that add up to meaningful change.
How attachment work and skills-based therapy translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions using this approach look at how people connect, respond to closeness, and repeat old dynamics in relationships, and then try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with more useful actions; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses traumatic memories by using structured protocols to reduce the intensity of upsetting memories and their emotional charge.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest approaches that may help. Together they will adjust methods over time based on what works and what feels comfortable.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use quieter surroundings, avoid camera use on some calls, or keep sessions brief during a workday break. Ask the therapist during matching which approaches and session styles she offers so you can plan what will work best for your schedule and goals.
