About Julie
Julie Batson is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience in Missouri. She focuses on practical help for common problems like stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Julie uses straightforward language and a respectful approach to make it easier to begin therapy.
She builds a plan with each person rather than following one preset method. Sessions are shaped around the concerns brought in, such as low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy questions, or parenting strain.

Her practice draws on approaches that pay attention to emotions and attachment, as well as skills-based methods to change patterns that get in the way. You can expect a mix of talking, noticing emotional patterns, and learning concrete skills to handle difficult moments.
Julie aims to keep sessions clear and focused so progress feels manageable. She is attentive to the impact of past losses, abandonment, or foster care and adoption histories on current relationships. Other areas she addresses include body image, eating and sleeping problems, caregiving stress, and anger or control issues.

Online support
Emotion-focused and skills-based care online
Julie draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people notice and name strong emotions and understand how those feelings shape relationships and personal patterns. EFT can be helpful for people who want to change how they respond to emotional triggers and improve emotional connection with others.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at early relationship patterns that affect current reactions and bonds. This approach helps identify long-standing ways of relating and find new, more helpful ways to connect. Client-Centered Therapy is another influence, which means sessions are guided by the clients goals and the therapist listens closely and responds without judgment.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and adjust methods based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences rather than insisting on a single technique. Together they decide what feels most useful and try it in session to see how it lands.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options allow scheduling flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
