Julie Lynn Stanton , LCSW

Julie Lynn Stanton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three decades of experience supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds. Over 30 years she has worked with individuals and groups on concerns that include low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, the aftereffects of trauma, emotional flooding, challenges with interpersonal effectiveness, relationship and workplace communication difficulties, a sense of meaninglessness, living with chronic pain or illness, midlife and aging transitions, and co-occurring conditions such as depression, anxiety, and substance use.

She approaches therapy with the belief that most people carry an inner resource of wisdom that can guide them toward greater competence and meaning. When patterns of thinking, skill gaps, difficulty self-soothing, feelings of helplessness, or limited access to information or resources obstruct that inner resource, she works collaboratively to identify barriers and build practical skills. Stanton frames the work as a respectful partnership - listening for what the person wants to address, helping to clarify goals, and supporting the search for solutions and healing. Her clinical background informs a flexible approach that adapts to each person’s needs and life context.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Julie Lynn Stanton draws from several established therapeutic approaches to tailor online care to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them while clarifying personal values and committed action - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and an accepting therapeutic relationship to support self-exploration and growth, which can be especially helpful for people coping with self-esteem, relationship, or life-stage issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stanton collaborates with each person to determine which strategies fit their goals, preferences, and life situation, and she adapts methods as work progresses to ensure a good fit. Licensed professionals can offer meaningful progress using different tools and styles.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate work, caregiving, mobility, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from home or wherever a person is most comfortable.
