About Julie
Julie Lynn Stanton is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also supports those coping with major life changes and caregiver strain.
Her tone is practical and steady for someone looking for clear help. She has worked with people from many socioeconomic backgrounds and sees both individuals and groups. Common concerns she addresses include self-esteem struggles, emotional overwhelm, post-traumatic stress symptoms, communication challenges at work, and managing chronic illness or pain.
Background and approach
She also helps with co-occurring conditions such as depression, anxiety, and substance use concerns. Julie believes people have an inner well of wisdom that can guide recovery and growth. She notices what blocks access to that wisdom - skill gaps, stuck thinking, trouble calming intense feelings, or lack of useful information.
Her role is to join the person as a collaborative partner to clear those obstacles. In sessions she helps clients name priorities, practice new skills, and develop ways to manage strong emotions. She uses approaches that emphasize values, present-moment awareness, and practical skill building.
The work aims to rebuild competence and a stronger sense of meaning in daily life. Clients can expect a respectful, goal-focused relationship where solutions are developed together. Julie welcomes people who want steady, experienced guidance while they work toward clearer thinking and better coping.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It combines mindfulness and action so clients can live in ways that feel meaningful even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-discovery.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort. She may blend techniques so sessions focus on what helps most in day-to-day life and on longer-term change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not practical or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations while using the approaches above to address anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and other issues.
