Julie Lynn Stanton, LCSW - Therapist in North Carolina

About Julie

Julie Lynn Stanton is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of practice. She focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction concerns, relationship strain, and life transitions. Julie writes simple steps and talks plainly so parents can understand options and next steps.

Her approach aims to make problems feel more manageable and reduce daily overwhelm. Julie has worked with clients from many backgrounds and across a wide socioeconomic range.

Background and approach

She guides people through common struggles such as emotional flooding, trouble communicating at work, chronic illness, and co-occurring mood and substance issues. She also addresses aging and caregiver stress, family-of-origin problems, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. Her view is that people already carry important strengths and insight.

Therapy is about uncovering those strengths and building skills that were missing or interrupted. Julie helps people identify patterns, learn concrete coping tools, and practice new ways of responding to difficult feelings. Sessions are collaborative.

She invites clients into a working partnership to name priorities and try solutions that fit each person’s life. The aim is steady progress toward clearer goals and more effective daily routines. Julie holds an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - in North Carolina.

Her work blends acceptance-based ideas, cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and approaches that focus on personal values and meaning.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small steps that match their personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and finding direction during life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It teaches concrete skills for managing mood, stress, and everyday problems.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. That work can reduce emotional overwhelm and improve interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. This is a collaborative effort to try techniques and see what fits.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let people fit sessions into busy schedules, use short check-ins when helpful, and practice skills between sessions. Licensed professionals can guide skills practice and provide feedback across these formats to support steady progress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
