About Juliana

Juliana Sutnik is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with 25 years of clinical experience. She combines her training and long practice to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges that affect daily life. She speaks English and Portuguese and draws on a career begun in Brazil as a psychologist to inform her work today.

Juliana uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She focuses on what is getting in the way of feeling better and on small, doable steps clients can try between meetings.

Background and approach

Conversations move at a measured pace so people can process feelings and test new approaches without feeling overwhelmed. Therapy with Juliana often centers on relationships, intimacy, and parenting concerns. She also supports people coping with grief, trauma, sleep problems, and major life transitions.

When more complex symptoms appear, she pays attention to safety and stability as the first priority. Her style is warm and direct. She aims to create a space where people can name painful patterns and practice new ways of responding.

Sessions are practical and solution oriented while still allowing room to talk about difficult emotions. Juliana welcomes people who want clear tools and steady guidance. She helps clients break big problems into manageable steps and tracks progress over time.

The goal is to leave sessions with one or two things to try that feel realistic for each person.

How Juliana Uses CBT Online

Juliana offers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and repetitive worries by turning big problems into manageable experiments.

She tailors the approach to each person’s needs and preferences. Choosing a therapeutic method is a collaborative process - the therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques together, and adjust the plan based on what works. This shared decision making helps ensure that tools match the client’s day-to-day life.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regularly, try strategies in real time, and keep momentum between meetings. The focus is on practical help that can be used right away, while keeping therapy accessible and flexible for busy lives.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
