Julie Lynn Stanton

Julie Lynn Stanton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of practice experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship strain, and coping with life changes. She aims to make therapy approachable and useful for day-to-day life.

She has worked with people from many backgrounds and across a wide socioeconomic range. Common concerns Julie addresses include self-esteem and competence struggles, trauma and its aftereffects, emotional flooding, difficulty with communication at work, and challenges that come with mid-life and aging. She also supports people managing co-occurring issues such as depression with substance use and bipolar mood concerns.

Julie believes people carry inner wisdom that can guide them through hard times. She looks for where skills or information are missing and helps people build tools to manage emotions and relationships. Sessions focus on identifying what matters to the client and taking small steps toward clearer purpose and better functioning.

Her approach blends practical skill-building with acceptance and reflection. Techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based methods are paired with a person-centered attitude. Julie aims to create a respectful working partnership where clients can name their goals and try solutions that fit their lives.

She invites people to talk through specific problems and practice new ways of responding. The work is collaborative and paced to the client’s needs. Julie welcomes the chance to help people move toward greater competence, meaning, and emotional balance.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identify values and take small committed steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different responses to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience, offering nonjudgmental listening and support to help clients find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods together. That collaborative process helps match techniques to day-to-day challenges like managing anxiety, grief, or life transitions.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It also lets people try tools and homework in the contexts where problems occur, so skills practiced in sessions can be used in real life.
