About Julie

Julie Burr is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, parenting strain, relationship tensions, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of related concerns. Julie also lists support for issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, intimacy-related struggles, and eating or sleeping problems.

She favors practical, skills-based approaches. Julie uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), along with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. Sessions typically involve talking through what is happening now, learning specific coping skills, and practicing new ways of responding between meetings.

Julie describes personal experience with loss, illness, and relationship endings as shaping her perspective. She draws on that background when helping people manage long seasons of hardship or sudden life changes. Her style includes straightforward conversation and structured strategies rather than long, abstract explanations.

Clients can expect discussions about routines, boundaries, communication, and behavior changes that fit daily life. She pays attention to parenting challenges, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and issues around attachment and abandonment. Julie also addresses concerns tied to identity and social context, such as race relations and LGBT matters.

She encourages practical steps that can be repeated outside sessions. The work often combines short-term problem solving and longer-term emotional processing. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How sessions work

How Julie uses evidence-based approaches online

Julie often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating problems. DBT teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication, which is useful for handling intense emotions and conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as work progresses.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, keep appointments during periods of caregiving or travel, and use short check-ins when a full session feels difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises to remote sessions, assigning short practices and behavior experiments between meetings to help skills translate into everyday life.
