Julie Lynn Stanton, LCSW

Julie Lynn Stanton is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship strain, and the practical challenges that come with mid-life and aging.

She works with individuals in both one-on-one and group settings. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Julie aims to build a partnership where people feel comfortable talking about hard things and trying new ways of coping.

Her approach draws on several therapy styles to match what each person needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in the person's own priorities.

Julie has worked across a wide socioeconomic range and with many kinds of life stressors. She has experience with trauma aftereffects, chronic health problems, co-occurring mood and substance issues, caregiver stress, and loneliness that can come with aging.

In sessions she focuses on practical skills, clearer communication, and rebuilding a sense of competence and meaning. Her aim is to help people gain tools they can use between appointments and to restore a feeling of direction in daily life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction while tolerating uncomfortable feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experience so the therapist follows the client's lead and fosters a trusting working relationship.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then recommend approaches to try. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when time is tight, and let people join from different locations without travel. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep therapy consistent while focusing on skills, communication, and coping strategies that apply to everyday life.
