About Julie

Julie Batson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri with two decades of professional experience. She has worked extensively with concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and a broad range of related challenges.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while adapting conversations and treatment plans to each person's circumstances. Julie draws on a blend of evidence-informed approaches to create collaborative, tailored care.

She supports clients who are navigating relationship and family concerns, career and motivation struggles, health-related stressors, and identity or intimacy questions. Julie aims to empower people to pursue more fulfilling, balanced lives and offers flexible scheduling options when standard times do not meet a client's needs.

Prospective clients who are ready to explore change can expect practical skills, reflective work, and steady support throughout the process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Julie integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based therapy into her online practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress. Attachment-based therapy explores relational patterns shaped by early connections and helps people build healthier ways of relating and coping with relationship and intimacy concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and will tailor methods accordingly, combining tools and perspectives when that best serves a person's progress.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access ongoing support from Missouri and beyond while allowing the work to fit into everyday life through options for synchronous and asynchronous communication.
