About Julie
Julie Lynn Stanton is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in North Carolina with 30 years of experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
She sees clients individually and has also worked in group settings across a wide socioeconomic range. Julie helps people who face emotional flooding, post-traumatic stress effects, communication problems at work, and co-occurring challenges such as substance use combined with mood symptoms. She also provides support for life transitions, mid-life and aging concerns, caregiver stress, and isolation or loneliness.
Julie describes therapy as a working partnership. She invites clients to talk through the issues they want to address and looks for practical ways to build skills. She focuses on improving self-soothing, reducing unhelpful thinking patterns, and increasing interpersonal effectiveness.
Her clinical approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Existential Therapy. These methods are used to help people identify values, change behavior patterns, strengthen emotion regulation, and find more meaning.
Julie aims to help people access their own inner resources while offering information and tools they may be missing. She frames the work as collaborative problem solving and practical skill building rather than passive advice. Those considering sessions are encouraged to review the online booking steps before scheduling.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing clearer ways of thinking and acting. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then together decide which methods to emphasize. The process is collaborative and may mix techniques from ACT, CBT, and DBT as needed.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the need to travel. They also let the therapist and client try different tools and exercises that translate well to a virtual setting, while keeping focus on practical skill-building and communication practice.
