Julie Lynn Stanton, LCSW

Julie Lynn Stanton is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship issues. She offers straightforward, calm support for day-to-day problems and for bigger life changes. Julie aims to make space for clear thinking and emotional relief during hard moments.

She works with individuals and groups across a wide range of life situations and income levels. Julie focuses on practical skills such as emotional regulation, communication, and coping when life feels overwhelming. She also helps people facing chronic illness, mid-life transitions, caregiver strain, and co-occurring mood and substance concerns.

Julie’s style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She believes people have inner resources that can guide recovery and growth. When those resources feel blocked, she works alongside clients to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, build self-soothing skills, and connect to useful information or supports.

Her practice uses established approaches like cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness-influenced work to address intrusive thoughts and behavior patterns. Julie also draws on acceptance-based and existential ideas to help people find meaning, tolerate difficult feelings, and choose value-driven action.

Sessions are meant to be a respectful partnership. Julie listens, asks practical questions, and offers tools clients can try between meetings. She emphasizes small, achievable steps so progress feels real and sustainable.

How Julie’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and changing behavior through practical exercises and skill practice. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication when feelings run high.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods to emphasize. She adapts tools to fit what the client needs most rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit meetings into work breaks, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Online work can make it easier to practice skills between sessions and to bring real-life situations into conversation. Julie aims to help clients build skills they can use in everyday life, whether sessions are remote or in person.
