About Julie

Julie Vierling is an Ohio-based licensed social worker with 28 years of clinical practice as an LMSW and LISW.

Background and approach

She draws on long experience working with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and addiction, and brings particular attention to conditions such as panic disorder, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive patterns, bipolar mood difficulties, and ADHD. Her training and years in practice inform a pragmatic, skills-based approach that meets clients where they are.

Her style is compassionate and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all; she blends evidence-based techniques to help clients reduce symptoms and build day-to-day coping strategies. Julie also supports those dealing with process addictions, substance use concerns, codependency, domestic violence recovery, postpartum depression, and end-of-life or hospice-related stress.

She centers collaboration and respect while helping people identify values, set goals, and practice new skills. Clients can expect a therapist who emphasizes practical tools alongside reflective work, drawing from methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, acceptance strategies, DBT skills, and motivational interviewing.

Julie accepts international clients and offers sessions in English for those seeking flexible, experienced support from a licensed Ohio clinician.

How specific approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values to guide meaningful action; it is useful for people wrestling with anxiety, depression, or challenges in motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building, which is often effective for panic, mood disorders, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides structured skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Over time treatment can draw more heavily on one modality or blend elements from several approaches to match evolving concerns and progress.

Online therapy with Julie can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and geographic situations. These formats make it easier to access consistent care, practice skills between sessions, and stay connected even when in-person options are limited.
