About Juliana

Juliana Sutnik is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with a career spanning 25 years, including earlier work as a psychologist in Brazil.

Background and approach

She brings long-term clinical experience to address a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, and challenges with sleep and parenting. Her practice also encompasses complex areas like bipolar disorder, personality disorders, obsessions and compulsions, phobias, postpartum depression, and multicultural or immigration-related difficulties.

Juliana favors practical, evidence-informed methods and lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among her clinical approaches, applying structured strategies to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She works with people facing relationship and family problems, blended family dynamics, communication struggles, domestic violence impacts, infidelity, forgiveness, and feelings of emptiness.

Fluent in English and Portuguese, she draws on her international background to support clients from diverse cultural contexts. Juliana encourages taking that first step and collaborates with clients to set goals and navigate life changes, offering steady professional support throughout the therapeutic process.

CBT-Informed Care and Online Access

Juliana integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice, using focused, practical techniques that help clients notice and shift thoughts and behaviors contributing to anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship difficulties. CBT’s structured exercises and skill-building can be especially useful for addressing sleep problems, obsessive thoughts, phobias, and mood symptoms.

Her work emphasizes collaborative planning, so the therapist and client together explore which approaches fit the client’s needs and goals. This process allows adjustments over time and combines evidence-informed strategies with the individual's preferences and life context, including cultural background and language needs.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care from different locations within Georgia. These options provide flexibility for varying communication styles and make it possible to maintain consistent progress while balancing other responsibilities.
