About Julie
Julie Burr is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, grief, relationship strain, mood struggles, and addiction-related difficulties. She draws on ten years of clinical experience and a practical, hopeful approach to support people through hard seasons. Julie writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person she meets.
Julie aims to help people move from feeling stuck to finding small, steady changes that add up. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for managing intense feelings and troublesome thoughts. Mindfulness and client-centered work shape how she meets people in session, with attention to each person's values and goals.
Her background includes years of personal experience with loss, chronic illness, and relationship endings, which she says inform her compassionate stance. Julie pays attention to practical life factors like sleep, nutrition, and movement when those things affect mood and functioning. She also brings interest in parenting, caregiving, and social issues to her clinical perspective.
People who choose Julie can expect collaborative planning, clear skill practice, and an emphasis on small changes that fit daily life. Sessions explore what is realistic now and what might be tried next. She helps people notice progress even when the path forward feels slow.
Julie practices in Missouri and offers care in English. She encourages prospective clients to consider the ways therapy could fit into their routines before scheduling.
How these approaches translate to online care
Julie uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside client-centered work to help people change unhelpful thinking and cope with strong emotions. CBT focuses on identifying and testing thoughts that make stress and sleep worse, with practical homework and habit changes that support better rest. DBT offers concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that can reduce impulsive reactions and calm intense nights. Client-centered work keeps sessions grounded in the person's priorities and life situation.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and everyday routine. That may mean trying a few strategies and adjusting as progress and preferences emerge.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what's offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills between sessions in real-world settings and bring specific sleep or daily routines into the conversation so strategies are tailored to real days rather than ideal ones.
