Julie Lynn Stanton

Julie Lynn Stanton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and addiction. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that build emotional strength and clearer communication. Her work often addresses intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and challenges tied to life changes or caregiving roles.

She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs rather than one fixed method. Sessions include learning new coping skills, practicing ways to manage strong emotions, and looking at patterns that keep problems going. She also helps people who face chronic illness, aging concerns, or co-occurring mood and substance issues.

Julie believes people carry their own wisdom and resilience, and she aims to create a respectful working partnership. In that partnership she helps clients name the issues they want to change and tries different strategies until something fits. The pace is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort.

Her background includes long experience with individual and group work across a wide socioeconomic range. That history informs how she supports people with career communication, family of origin problems, loneliness, and forgiveness work. She also addresses avoidant and dependent personality challenges in day-to-day terms.

Clients can expect grounded, straightforward therapy that combines skill teaching with attention to meaning and values. Julie welcomes conversations that clarify goals and move toward solutions with steady, practical steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions that align with those values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and struggles with meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers on a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s perspective guides the work and personal insight grows.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. She aims to adapt methods so they feel useful rather than forcing one set of tools on everyone. The process is collaborative and based on what the client wants to achieve.

Practical benefits of online therapy depend on the session formats currently offered, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins when life feels hectic. Some formats also work better when a quieter setting or a shorter check-in is needed. Ask about current session formats when you schedule so you can pick what fits your routine.
