About Julie
Julie Lynn Stanton is a licensed clinical social worker with three decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and substance concerns. She approaches sessions with calm curiosity and practical focus. Parents and individuals who feel stuck or overwhelmed often seek her out for steady guidance and clear steps forward.
She believes people carry their own wisdom and strengths, even when life feels chaotic. Her role is to join clients in a respectful partnership, help name the problem, and try options that might work.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize straightforward skills, clearer communication, and ways to manage intense emotions. Over 30 years she has worked with people from many backgrounds and with many different struggles. That experience informs how she helps someone untangle patterns of thinking and behavior that hold them back.
She pays attention to life stage concerns like mid-life changes, caregiving stress, and aging issues. Julie uses a mix of practical approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on Narrative ideas to reframe stories people tell about themselves, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-guided action, and cognitive and mindfulness tools to manage hard feelings.
Dialectical strategies are used when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are a focus. Her sessions aim to be collaborative and respectful. Julie helps people set clear goals, practice new skills between sessions, and find ways to build more meaning and competence in daily life.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Julie directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and action-focused therapy work online
Julie uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and identify alternative, more helpful ways to frame their lives. This often helps when people feel stuck in a single negative storyline and want more choice about who they are and what they do.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking small, guided steps toward them while learning ways to live with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different responses that reduce distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie treats the choice of methods as collaborative and adjusts strategies to fit each person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Together they test what helps most and make changes along the way.
Online sessions can be a flexible way to get consistent support. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing coaching, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
