About Julie

Julie Batson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri with 20 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem and confidence challenges, and a wide range of relationship and life transition issues including family, parenting, grief, intimacy-related concerns, and LGBT-related matters.

Her practice also addresses specific needs such as eating and sleeping concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, attachment and adoption issues, and workplace or career difficulties. Julie integrates compassion and sensitivity into her work and adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person’s unique circumstances and goals.

Julie views the decision to seek therapy as an act of courage and aims to support and empower people as they move toward a more fulfilling life. She offers flexibility around scheduling and is willing to open session times for clients when needed, tailoring her approach to make therapy accessible and relevant to each individual’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Julie Batson draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide her online work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections - it can help with intimacy, abandonment, and attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s own goals and perspective shape the work - this approach supports self-esteem, decision-making, and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build practical coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Julie collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter contacts are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate geographic distance, and maintain continuity of care despite life changes, while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to tailor pace and format to each person’s routine and comfort.
