About Julie
Julie Lynn Stanton helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, or addiction find practical ways forward. She is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with three decades of experience, and she meets people where they are with calm, straightforward support. She focuses on short, clear steps that people can use between sessions.
That might include learning new coping skills, shifting unhelpful thoughts, or practicing small actions that restore confidence.
Background and approach
Julie works with individuals in both one-on-one and group settings depending on what fits the person’s needs. Julie believes people already carry important knowledge about themselves, but life events and skill gaps can make that wisdom hard to access. In sessions she builds a respectful partnership to name the problems someone wants to solve and try doable strategies.
She pays attention to how thinking, feelings, and behavior interact so clients can test changes and track results. Her practice covers a broad range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, caregiver stress, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing mid-life changes, aging issues, and challenges tied to family of origin or communication problems.
Julie draws on several practical approaches to guide work in-session, combining methods that fit the person and the problem. Her aim is steady progress through clear, collaborative steps rather than quick fixes. She welcomes conversations about what a helpful next step might look like for each person.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small committed actions toward a more meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches skills to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. It is often used for mood and anxiety problems, negative self-beliefs, and coping with stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those tools can be useful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and situations where stronger coping techniques are needed.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose or combine methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels doable and relevant.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or written reflections. These options let people fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on steady progress.
