Julie Burr , LCSW

Julie Burr is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Missouri who helps people cope with stress, grief, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She draws on a mix of practical tools and compassionate listening to help people find steadier ground. Julie frames therapy as partnership and uses steady, hopeful language to guide change.

Julie centers sessions on the person's priorities. She uses straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to manage strong emotions and rebuild daily routines. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused strategies are added when they fit the person's goals.

Her work reflects years of life experience alongside a decade in clinical practice. Julie has faced significant personal loss and long-term health challenges, and she brings that perspective into the room without assuming everyone shares the same story. She focuses on real-life skills people can try between sessions.

Sessions often cover grief and loss, parenting and caregiver stress, trauma and abuse, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, and challenges linked to identity including LGBT concerns. She also helps with career issues, relationship conflict, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with big life changes.

Julie describes therapy as a process of small, steady shifts. She helps people move from surviving to making choices that fit their values. The tone is practical, warm, and direct, with attention to what will help each person feel more able to handle daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Julie often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people manage upsetting thoughts and strong emotions. CBT focuses on noticing thought patterns and testing them with real-life actions to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.

She also brings a client-centered attitude that keeps the person's goals central. Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort - the therapist and client decide together which techniques to try based on needs, values, and what fits in daily life.

Online therapy is delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face-to-face when visual cues help, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to practice new skills between meetings and to keep therapy consistent during busy or unpredictable times.
