Julie Lynn Stanton, LCSW

Julie Lynn Stanton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, and career or life-transition concerns.

She sees individuals in both group and one-on-one settings. Julie helps people who struggle with self-esteem, emotional flooding, and problems communicating at work or at home. She also supports those living with chronic pain or co-occurring conditions like substance use alongside mood disorders.

Her approach is practical. She looks for strengths the person already has and points out skills they can use right away. Sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practicing new ways to respond to stress and difficult feelings.

Julie draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and elements of existential thinking. She uses these tools to help people build emotional regulation, clearer communication, and a clearer sense of purpose when life feels confusing.

Over three decades she has worked with people across a wide socioeconomic range, and she pays attention to how caregiving, aging, and workplace strains affect mental health. She invites clients into a collaborative working relationship to clarify goals and test practical solutions together.
