About Julie
Julie Batson is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people handle stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. She works with adults facing questions about self-esteem, motivation, and life transitions. Julie approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
She aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported. In sessions she listens first and then tailors conversation and planning to fit each person’s situation.
Background and approach
She uses practical, straightforward ways to address worries about work, relationships, grief, or mood. She also supports people dealing with sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, caregiver strain, and sexual or intimacy-related questions. Her background includes long-term work in Missouri settings where she learned to blend listening with action.
That experience informs how she helps people set goals and try small changes between meetings. Julie often draws on attachment and emotion-focused ideas to improve how people relate to themselves and others. She also uses cognitive-behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity.
Clients can expect conversations that are collaborative and focused on practical next steps. Julie invites people to name what matters most and then works alongside them to move toward those priorities. Julie accepts international clients and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Online support
Approaches that guide online work and healing
Julie draws on attachment-based therapy to help people notice and change patterns in their close relationships; this often helps with intimacy struggles, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. She also uses emotion-focused therapy to help people name strong feelings and learn new ways to respond when emotions feel overwhelming. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She pays attention to what helps early on and adjusts the plan as needed so work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets for face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
