About Julie
Julie Vierling is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio with 28 years of experience. She focuses on concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and addictions. She also works with issues like panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, mood disorders, and caregiving strain.
Julie uses clear, practical strategies in sessions. She helps people notice thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Then she supports trying different responses and skills to change those patterns.
Her work draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That means sessions can include identifying unhelpful thought patterns, practicing present-moment skills, and setting manageable behavior goals. Julie explains what the tools do and practices them together with the person in session.
She has experience with a wide range of concerns, including postpartum depression, process addictions, codependency, domestic violence, and panic disorder. She also supports people facing career stress, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating difficulties, and chronic mood problems like bipolar disorder.
Sessions emphasize concrete steps and regular check-ins. Julie asks about what has been tried, what helped, and what got in the way. From there she and the person agree on short-term goals and skills to practice between sessions.
Her approach is collaborative and organized. People who want structured, practical work on thoughts, behavior, and coping strategies often find this style useful.
How cognitive and acceptance approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and trying different responses. Online sessions using CBT typically include talking through specific situations, practicing thought records or behavior experiments, and setting concrete practice tasks to do between meetings.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take actions consistent with those values while learning to let difficult thoughts and feelings be present. In brief online work this often looks like values clarification, short experiential exercises, and homework to try new behaviors in daily life.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide whether CBT, ACT, DBT skills, or mindfulness exercises suit the person’s goals and preferences. That choice can be adjusted as the work proceeds.
The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. When clarified, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. These practical benefits help people keep regular practice and apply skills to real situations.
