Julianna Bardgett

Julianna Bardgett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Idaho. She focuses on helping people who are managing stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, addiction concerns, and issues related to LGBT identity. Julianna keeps language simple and practical so parents and individuals can quickly understand how she works.

She uses a person-centered approach that puts the client's goals and knowledge of their life first. That means sessions move at the client's pace and focus on what feels most important to them. Julianna also draws on therapies that target thoughts, behaviors, and emotions to help people manage distress in everyday life.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Montana and a Master of Social Work from the University of Louisiana. Before moving to Idaho she worked for several years in western Montana programs serving women with children and people needing substance-related support. That practical experience informs how she structures sessions and sets realistic steps forward.

Julianna incorporates tools from cognitive behavioral work and dialectical methods to teach coping skills and pattern changes. She also uses attachment-focused ideas to look at how early relationships affect current connections and interactions. Elements of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) are part of her trauma work when appropriate.

People who come to her tend to want clear steps, skills they can use at home, and a collaborative plan. She asks clients to help shape each session so therapy fits their life and needs.

How specific approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and communication. Online sessions can use this approach to identify interaction patterns, practice new ways of relating, and set small experiments to try between sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In remote sessions, CBT can help people learn practical strategies for managing anxiety, mood, and stress through structured exercises and at-home practice.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used as a way to address traumatic memories and the emotional reactions tied to them. When appropriate, elements of EMDR may be integrated into therapy to process distressing memories and reduce their intensity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then recommend a path forward. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that better fits a schedule. It also supports the same skill-building work done in person, like practicing coping tools, testing new relationship patterns, and completing structured CBT exercises between meetings.
