About Julie

Julie Lynn Stanton is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) based in North Carolina with 30 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma and addiction concerns. She also supports those coping with career pressures, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem struggles, and the strains that come with caregiving and aging.

Julie works with adults who want clearer thinking and better coping skills. She uses practical conversation, skill building, and steady reflection to help people address patterns that get in the way. Sessions focus on the problems a person brings and on small steps that feel doable between meetings.

Her approach combines cognitive behavior techniques with acceptance-based ideas and client-centered listening. She also draws on dialectical behavior methods and existential questions to help people find meaning and manage strong emotions. Treatment often includes learning emotion regulation, improving communication, and trying new ways of handling stress.

Julie has long experience running both individual and group work across many backgrounds and life stages. She pays attention to how past family of origin issues, codependency, and communication problems affect present relationships. She also addresses co-occurring concerns such as mood disorders with substance use and the special strains of caregiving.

People who come to her typically want practical tools and honest conversation. Julie frames therapy as a working partnership where the person decides what to address. She invites prospective clients to reflect on what matters most and to take one manageable step toward change.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns that keep problems going and trying concrete experiments to change them. It often suits anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will discuss options with the client and test approaches that fit the client's goals and preferences. She treats approach selection as a collaborative process and adjusts methods over time based on what helps most.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow quicker check-ins during a work break, and cut out travel time. Therapists often adapt sessions so people can practice skills between meetings and bring examples from daily life into the work.
