About Julie

Julie Vierling is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio with 28 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictions, and anger. Sessions are in English and she is available to international clients as noted in her profile.

Clients who come for help often bring a mix of issues. Julie has supported people with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, obsessive-compulsive patterns, bipolar mood challenges, and process addictions such as gambling or compulsive behaviors. She also helps with parenting strain, intimacy concerns, and workplace stress.

Her methods draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. In sessions she talks through patterns, helps set manageable goals, and practices skills that reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning.

Julie pays attention to how problems show up in everyday life. She works with clients on coping strategies for sleep, eating, and impulse challenges. For people dealing with grief, hospice and end-of-life concerns, or postpartum depression, she offers focused support and practical tools to manage symptoms.

Her background includes decades of direct clinical work with mood and anxiety disorders and addictions. People looking to address anger, codependency, domestic violence effects, or career and self-esteem issues can expect straightforward skill-building and a collaborative plan for progress.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identifying values and taking small steps toward meaningful action. It can help when anger or avoidance gets in the way of daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and many anger-related habits.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful when strong emotions cause repeated conflict or impulsive responses.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to match methods to specific goals, symptoms, and preferences. Early sessions typically focus on identifying priorities and trying techniques to see what fits best.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people attend from quieter surroundings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises used in ACT, CBT, and DBT to work in an online setting and help clients practice skills between sessions.
