Julie Lynn Stanton , LCSW

Julie Lynn Stanton, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), is an individual and group therapist with over 30 years of experience working with clients across a broad socioeconomic spectrum. She has addressed a wide range of concerns, including self-esteem and competence challenges, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress sequelae, emotional flooding, interpersonal effectiveness difficulties, relationship and job-related communication problems, lack of meaning, chronic pain and physical illness, mid-life and aging challenges, and co-occurring disorders such as depression, anxiety, and substance abuse.

Her therapeutic philosophy centers on the belief that individuals carry an inner reservoir of wisdom that can guide them through life’s difficulties toward competence and meaning. At times, skills gaps, negative thinking patterns, trouble with self-soothing, feelings of helplessness, and limited access to information or resources can block that inner guidance. Stanton approaches therapy as a collaborative partnership in which clients are invited to disclose openly and to identify the issues they most want to address. She works with clients to explore solutions, develop practical skills, and pursue healing within a relationship she regards as a sacred trust.

Stanton combines years of clinical experience with a respectful, client-centered stance and welcomes the opportunity to work with individuals seeking support and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Julie Lynn Stanton draws from multiple evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being dominated by them and then commit to actions aligned with personal values - useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and the therapist's genuine presence to support self-exploration and strengthen self-esteem and relational skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical strategies to change thinking and behavior, a common choice for anxiety, depression, and coping challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stanton works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit best with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure treatment aligns with each person's values and daily reality.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow licensed professionals to meet clients where they are - accommodating work schedules, caregiving responsibilities, mobility limitations, or geographic distance - while maintaining a consistent, goal-oriented course of care.
