Julia Burnette-Lee , LCSW

Julia Burnette-Lee is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the fallout of trauma and abuse. Julia also supports people dealing with relationship strain, anger, addictions, grief, and concerns about self-esteem and parenting.

Her approach is practical and person-centered. Julia listens first, then tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs. She aims to build small, doable steps that fit daily life rather than overwhelming change all at once.

Many people come to her with complex or overlapping concerns, such as chronic pain or illness, caregiving strain, body image and eating issues, or problems tied to divorce and separation. She draws on long experience to help sort priorities and identify what to try next. Julia works respectfully with people from LGBT communities and those coping with grief or major life shifts.

Clients can expect straightforward talk, goal-focused planning, and support practicing new skills between sessions. Julia emphasizes compassion and sensitivity while encouraging realistic, measurable progress. Her style balances empathy with clear guidance so people can move toward greater stability and wellbeing.

She provides services in English and offers remote session formats to fit different schedules. To begin, a brief matching process helps connect someone to her and schedule an initial appointment.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Julia uses well-established, evidence-based techniques to guide work on specific problems. One common approach focuses on practical skills training to reduce anxiety and manage stress; this involves learning breathing, pacing, and short behavioral changes that can be practiced between sessions. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed care, which helps people process painful experiences at a pace that feels tolerable while building safety and coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and preferences, and then recommend options to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helping and what feels workable in everyday life.

Online therapy formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well when face-to-face conversation is helpful, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or times when shorter communication fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit regular care into life and to keep momentum between appointments.
