About Julie
Julie Vierling is an Ohio-licensed social worker with LMSW and LISW credentials and 28 years of clinical experience. She focuses on concerns like depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, and parenting strains. Julie works with people coping with panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive patterns, mood disorders, and changes after childbirth.
She takes a practical, down-to-earth approach in sessions. Conversations usually look at current problems, patterns that keep them going, and small steps a person can try between meetings. Julie uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral work, dialectical skills, mindfulness, acceptance-based strategies, and motivational interviewing.
Many clients bring stress from relationships, intimacy, or family roles. Julie helps people break unhelpful cycles, set clearer boundaries, and manage overwhelming feelings. She also addresses process addictions, substance concerns, codependency, and concerns tied to grief or end-of-life situations.
Sessions aim to teach skills for handling panic, intrusive thoughts, and mood swings. For parenting-related stress she offers support around sleep, eating changes, postpartum mood, and caring for someone with disruptive behavior challenges. She also works with people facing compassion fatigue and career strain.
Julie accepts people who speak English and is open to international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session through the online options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based actions so a person can take steps that matter despite uncomfortable emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces practical exercises to change patterns that worsen anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete coping skills such as distress tolerance and emotional regulation for intense mood swings and relationship strain.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose approaches that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That may mean trying a skill-focused strategy for weeks, then adding acceptance or mindfulness practices based on how things are going.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy day, avoid travel time, or use video and phone tools to practice skills between meetings. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises so they work in a home or work break setting and to match a person's schedule and bandwidth needs.
