Julia Cho

Julia Cho is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. She offers support for people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life transitions. Julia aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for worried parents and adults seeking change.

Julia earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and holds a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience from the University of California, Riverside. She has practiced since 2016 and brings five years of professional experience working in clinical settings.

Her background includes work with adults, groups, couples, families, and adolescents, and substantial experience with addiction, substance use, trauma, and incarcerated populations. She pays attention to how thought, body, and spirit interact and tailors sessions to each person’s needs.

In sessions, Julia listens first and helps people set clear, attainable goals. Conversations can cover coping skills, communication challenges, grief around separation, and problems like impulsivity or chronic illness stress. She aims to create a practical plan that fits daily life.

Parents and adults who worry about body image, attachment or abandonment issues, caregiver stress, or isolation can expect straightforward guidance and tools. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

Evidence-based approaches and how they work online

Julia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with clearer, more balanced thinking to reduce depression and anxiety. Another approach focuses on developing coping skills for cravings, impulsivity, and stressful moments, teaching step-by-step strategies to manage urges and reduce relapse risk.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. From those conversations, they pick techniques and adjust them as progress is made so sessions stay relevant and helpful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow sessions during lunch breaks or between errands. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when days are tight, while others schedule longer sessions for deeper work. Because the exact session formats are not specified here, confirm current options before booking to find the schedule and length that match your routine.
