About Julie

Julie Vierling is a licensed social worker in Ohio with 28 years of clinical experience. She holds both LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) and LISW (Licensed Independent Social Worker) credentials and focuses on helping people manage difficult emotions and life changes.

She commonly works with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addiction. She also supports people facing panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive patterns, bipolar mood challenges, postpartum depression, and seasonal mood shifts. Codependency and domestic violence appear among her areas of focus as well.

Her style is straightforward and compassionate. Sessions emphasize practical skills and steady support. Clients are encouraged to name what feels most urgent and to try small strategies between meetings.

Julie draws on methods that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. She tailors these approaches to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

People who choose her often want a therapist who listens closely and helps build coping tools. She aims to help clients increase resilience, manage symptoms, and make clearer choices in daily life. Her work is oriented around concrete steps and patient, steady progress.

How Julie’s Approaches Shape Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take action toward those values even when feelings are hard. It’s useful for persistent anxiety, depression, and codependency concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, or compulsive patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can help with intense moods and relationship struggles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying out techniques together and adjusting the plan based on what helps in everyday life.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments. Many people find that practicing skills between sessions and using mindfulness or CBT exercises online translates well into daily routines. Licensed professionals can guide how these approaches apply to each person's situation.
