Julie Burr, LCSW

Julie Burr is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience helping people navigate major life challenges. She blends professional training with insights drawn from decades of personal experience with loss, changing relationships, chronic illness, and unmet expectations to support clients through grief, mood concerns, trauma, addictions, and relationship struggles.

Julie emphasizes practical skills alongside compassionate listening, drawing on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), along with mindfulness practices and a client-centered stance that honors each person’s values and goals. She works with adults and families on issues including anxiety, depression, parenting and blended family concerns, caregiving stress, intimacy and attachment difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and coping with life transitions.

Interests that inform her work include travel, nutrition, movement, caregiving, social and environmental justice, and exploring aspects of faith that are helpful while discerning what no longer serves. Julie aims to help clients move from surviving to finding moments of balance and meaning, guiding them to build skills and resources that fit their unique lives and priorities.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Julie often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work, a practical approach that helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is another method she uses, teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. Mindfulness therapy complements these approaches by encouraging present-moment awareness and simple practices that can reduce stress and improve coping in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie collaborates with each client to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she tailors techniques so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing support, skill-building, and goal-focused work in ways that adapt to each client’s life and availability.
