About Julia
Julia Burnette-Lee is a licensed clinical social worker in Tennessee with 30 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, and relationship strains. She also addresses substance use concerns, grief, sleep and eating problems, parenting stress, self-esteem, and challenges related to bipolar disorder and major life changes.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s situation. Conversations are shaped to meet a person's goals and daily realities.
Background and approach
Julia aims to be respectful, sensitive, and compassionate in sessions. Her background includes three decades of work across many care settings in Tennessee, where she developed skills helping people cope with chronic illness, caregiving strain, and the emotional fallout from divorce, loss, and disaster. That experience informs a practical approach to problem solving and emotional regulation.
Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than abstract theory. Julia helps people build coping strategies, reduce distressing symptoms, and address patterns that get in the way of better days. She supports people through transitions and the hard work of change.
Therapy is collaborative and tailored. Julia works with each person to set priorities, try approaches that fit their life, and adjust plans as progress is made.
Evidence-based care delivered online
Julia draws on proven therapeutic techniques to help people reduce symptoms and build skills. One common approach focuses on teaching concrete coping skills for anxiety, stress, and anger so people can manage strong feelings in the moment. Another approach targets patterns in relationships and behavior, helping people notice unhelpful habits and try new ways of relating that lead to better outcomes.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julia works with each person to identify goals, try different methods, and pick what fits best. She adjusts the plan as needs change so the work stays relevant and doable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can help with quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief reflections or ongoing reminders between sessions. These options help people connect in ways that match their schedule and daily routines.
