About Julie
Julie Lynn Stanton is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, depression, addiction, and a wide range of life transitions.
Background and approach
She draws on extensive experience with co-occurring conditions, trauma and abuse, intimacy and communication problems, and caregiver or aging-related concerns to support practical coping and emotional growth. Her work emphasizes a collaborative partnership in which the client’s own strengths and insights are central.
Julie uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance-focused methods, mindfulness-informed practices, and client-centered listening to reduce unhelpful thinking patterns, build emotion regulation skills, and restore a sense of meaning and competence. She also integrates strategies from dialectical and existential approaches when challenges involve intense emotions, chronic life stress, or questions of purpose.
Julie frames therapy as a respectful working alliance that identifies specific goals, teaches concrete skills, and revisits progress over time. She welcomes clients looking for a thoughtful, skill-based yet humane approach to change and growth in North Carolina.
Online approaches grounded in skills and meaning
Julie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes values-based action and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful changes, helping with issues like grief, chronic stress, and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Julie treats approach selection as collaborative. She listens to each person’s goals, life context, and preferences, then combines techniques that match those needs rather than following a single method exclusively. This teamwork helps shape clear goals and practical steps forward.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care from home or work. These options allow clients to engage in skills practice, reflective work, and regular check-ins in ways that fit individual routines and comfort levels.
