Julie Lynn Stanton , LCSW

Julie Lynn Stanton is an experienced individual and group therapist who brings more than 30 years of practice to her work with clients from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds. She has addressed a broad spectrum of concerns including self-esteem and competence challenges, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress sequelae, emotional flooding, interpersonal effectiveness difficulties, relationship struggles - including job-related communication problems - a search for meaning, living with chronic pain and physical illness, mid-life and aging transitions, and co-occurring conditions such as depression, anxiety, and substance use issues.

Her approach is grounded in the belief that people hold a deep internal resource of wisdom that can guide them toward greater competence and meaning. At the same time, she recognizes that skills gaps, unhelpful thought patterns, difficulty self-soothing, and limited access to information or resources can block access to that inner well. In therapy she invites clients into a collaborative partnership where honest self-disclosure and careful exploration help clarify which issues to address and which strategies may lead to healing.

Julie holds the credential LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a professional license for providing clinical social work and psychotherapy. She approaches each therapeutic relationship as a trusted partnership and welcomes the opportunity to work with individuals and groups seeking change and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Julie Lynn Stanton

Julie integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Client-Centered Therapy into her online practice. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take meaningful action even in the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve coping, which is often applied for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a respectful therapeutic relationship to support self-exploration and emotional growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Julie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. The therapist and client discuss options and adjust strategies over time to ensure the work fits the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls or phone, and some work can be done via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, access support from home or while traveling, and maintain continuity of care across changing schedules.
