About Julie
Julie Burr is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, and relationship or intimacy struggles. She supports people managing parenting strain, career challenges, mood disorders, ADHD, and the everyday wear of caregiving. Julie writes plainly and meets people where they are in life.
She aims for practical steps in sessions. Julie uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts.
Background and approach
She draws on dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation and mindfulness practices to steady attention and reduce rumination. Julie’s work is collaborative. She listens first, then helps set short-term goals and simple skills to try between meetings.
Sessions often focus on small, doable changes that fit into a busy life. Her experience includes navigating loss, chronic illness, and major life transitions. That background shapes how she supports people through grief, abandonment worries, caregiving stress, and adjusting after separation or divorce.
She also addresses body image, eating and sleeping difficulties, and trauma or abuse reactions. Julie brings ten years of social work experience in Missouri and holds a Missouri Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential - LCSW. She integrates practical self-care ideas like movement, nutrition, and mindfulness alongside therapy work.
People who choose her often want steady support and usable skills. Julie partners with each person to find what helps them move from surviving toward more balance and hope.
Therapeutic tools adapted for online care
Julie draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to guide online work. CBT helps identify thinking patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood and introduces practical exercises to test new ways of thinking. DBT offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can be useful for mood swings, anger, or relationship stress.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Julie listens to each person’s goals, preferences, and daily demands, then recommends techniques to try. She checks in regularly and adjusts strategies so the work stays useful and realistic for the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t convenient. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try tools in real-life moments.
