About Julie
Julie Burr is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Missouri with ten years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and issues related to parenting, sleep, eating, and self-esteem. Julie also supports people facing bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life changes.
Julie uses straightforward tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, along with client-centered and mindfulness methods. She uses practical skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and to try different ways of responding. Sessions are focused and action-oriented, with time spent on skills practice and real-world experiments between meetings.
Her background as a social worker shapes a problem-solving approach that looks at everyday pressures. Julie talks with people about how chronic illness, loss, and relationship endings affect thinking and behavior. She discusses small changes that can make daily life feel more manageable and gradually reduce distress.
Julie pays attention to practical barriers such as caregiving responsibilities and work demands. She can help people plan steps that fit into a busy schedule and adapt strategies when circumstances change. Topics she often covers include attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, caregiver stress, body image, and coping after separation.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow a collaborative process. People are invited to identify goals, try concrete skills, and review progress. To start, she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so work can begin.
How CBT and skills work in online sessions
Julie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns that increase anxiety or low mood and then test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT sessions often include short behavioral experiments and homework that target specific daily problems such as sleep, eating, or avoidance.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. DBT skills can be useful for intense emotions, anger, or when someone needs concrete strategies to manage overwhelming moments. Client-Centered methods are part of how she listens and sets collaborative goals, focusing on what the person wants to change and why.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will help figure out which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is made together and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. In practice, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, and reduce travel time.
