About Julie

Julie Batson is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience working with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and self-esteem. She practices in Missouri and meets people where they are, offering straightforward support and practical steps. Julie focuses on what a person needs right now and adapts her approach to each situation.

Her style is warm and respectful. She listens first and helps clients name clear goals.

Background and approach

Then she and the client map out manageable steps to reach those goals. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused rather than full of clinical jargon. Julie uses a mix of approaches to match the person in front of her.

She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings. She uses cognitive-behavioral tools to break unhelpful thoughts and build useful habits. Mindfulness practices are added when slowing down and noticing the present moment will help.

She also brings experience with grief, intimacy-related concerns, caregiving stress, bipolar mood issues, and ADHD. Julie supports people dealing with career stress, body image, chronic illness, and complicated family dynamics. She tailors the conversation to each person’s history and needs.

Julie encourages parents and adults facing life transitions to try small changes first. She explains options clearly and adjusts plans as progress is made. The goal is steady, realistic improvement rather than quick fixes.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Julie often draws on attachment-based work to examine how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior; this approach helps when relationship patterns keep causing stress or anxiety. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can be useful for depression, worry, and ADHD-related challenges. Mindfulness practices are added when slowing down and noticing thoughts and sensations will help clients interrupt automatic reactions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Julie talks with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods, adjust the plan, and monitor progress so the approach fits the person and their day-to-day life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit care into busy schedules. Video works well for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can support quick check-ins or brief coaching-style exchanges. These options let people connect from different locations and maintain continuity of care around work, caregiving, or travel.
