Julie Lynn Stanton, LCSW

Julie Lynn Stanton is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience helping people facing midlife changes, loss, anxiety, and mood struggles. She meets individuals who are overwhelmed by stress, stuck in patterns, or searching for renewed meaning in life. Julie focuses on building a practical working relationship where clients can speak openly and explore next steps.

She uses straightforward, person-centered work to identify what is getting in the way of daily functioning. Sessions often include learning clearer ways to communicate, managing strong emotions, and building small skills to feel more competent. Julie also helps people cope with chronic illness, grief, addiction concerns, and career or intimacy-related questions.

Her approach blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive behavioral tools and a client-centered stance. Dialectical behavior and existential perspectives also inform her way of listening and guiding. The goal is to find methods that fit each person’s life and values rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all plan.

Julie has worked across a wide socioeconomic range and with many kinds of life transitions. She emphasizes practical steps, self-understanding, and reconnecting to sources of meaning. Therapy is presented as a partnership where the client’s experience guides the pace and focus.

People who want a calm, experienced clinician to help them sort options and try concrete changes tend to connect well with her style. She welcomes conversations about goals and what a helpful next step might look like.

Approaches that shape online therapy

Julie Lynn Stanton integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into her work. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely, reflecting what the person is experiencing, and building a trusting working relationship.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for practical skill building. CBT helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. These approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, midlife transitions, grief, and coping with chronic health or addiction concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and comfort level. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, and the client’s feedback guides which tools are emphasized.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can make scheduling easier, cut travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, and let therapy fit into ongoing routines. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, client-centered listening, and CBT techniques to remote sessions so the work still focuses on practical steps and meaningful goals.
