About Julia
Julia Burns is a licensed social worker with 30 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, career challenges, and major life changes. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping clients feel heard and make practical changes.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult feelings. Sessions focus on understanding what feels most urgent and finding steps that feel doable.
How Julia works
Julia emphasizes clear communication and steady encouragement as people work toward their goals. With three decades of practice, she draws on a range of approaches that are supported by research. That experience informs how she tailors sessions to each person’s situation and pace.
Julia balances practical problem-solving with time to process strong emotions. People who meet with her can expect an approach that blends listening with action. She helps identify patterns that get in the way and practices new ways of coping.
The goal is to restore confidence and move toward a more manageable daily life. Julia is licensed as an LICSW in Minnesota and an LCSW in Maine. She offers sessions from Maine and works with English-speaking clients.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Julia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques centered on practical coping skills and emotional processing. One approach focuses on processing and making sense of traumatic experiences so they feel less overwhelming; this helps people reduce intense reactions and regain a sense of control. Another approach emphasizes building coping skills and confidence through manageable steps and practice; this helps with low self-esteem, motivation, and handling career or life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and pace. Together they will review what feels most helpful and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit into busy days and make it easier to send quick updates between sessions. These options make it possible to maintain steady support while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
