About Julie
Julie Burr is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Missouri who focuses on family and parenting concerns as well as a wide range of life stresses. She combines clear practical tools with steady emotional support so people can cope better with tough seasons. Julie writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.
Her approach aims to help people find more balance and small moments of relief during difficult times.
Background and approach
Julie draws on about ten years of clinical experience and personal lessons learned from grief, chronic illness, and relationship endings. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practice, and solution-focused work. In sessions she helps clients learn coping skills, adjust unhelpful thinking, and practice present-moment strategies that reduce overwhelm.
Julie often addresses concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma, and parenting struggles. She also supports people facing burnout, caregiver stress, body image issues, and life transitions. Sessions are intended to be practical and paced to the needs of each person.
Her work values faith where it helps, while also questioning what may no longer serve someone’s growth. Julie emphasizes collaboration and respect, inviting clients to try techniques and notice what genuinely works. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Julie offers therapy through talk, structured skill practice, and problem-solving steps. She encourages small experiments between sessions and checks in on what improves and what needs changing. This steady, adaptable approach helps people build skills that carry into daily life.
How Julie’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person first. It helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to talk through parenting stress, grief, or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches clear skills to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving coping during crises.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie works with each person to try methods that match their goals and comfort level. She will help set priorities, test practical strategies, and adjust the plan based on what actually helps in daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make scheduling easier around work and family time. These options allow short check-ins, skills practice between sessions, and longer conversations when needed. The flexibility supports ongoing progress while fitting therapy into a busy life.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
