Julie Vierling

Julie Vierling is a licensed social worker in Ohio with 28 years of clinical experience. She provides straightforward support for people coping with depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, and trauma. Julie draws on long experience to help clients find practical ways to manage distress and move through difficult times.

She uses clear, goal-focused methods that match each person's needs. Julie often addresses panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and mood challenges. She also helps people facing postpartum depression, seasonal mood shifts, process addictions, codependency, and domestic violence histories.

Julie blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with mindfulness and motivational interviewing. Sessions emphasize real skills - for example shifting unhelpful thoughts, building steady routines, and learning emotion regulation tools. Work is paced to what each person can use right away.

People who prefer practical steps and gentle accountability tend to do well with her style. Julie aims to listen first, then help set short-term goals that reduce stress and improve daily functioning. She explains techniques in plain language and checks in on what’s working.

Her practice also includes hospice and end-of-life counseling as one of the focus areas. To begin, she asks about immediate concerns, past attempts at coping, and the goals a person wants to reach. From there she and the client set a path forward together.

Therapeutic approaches and remote care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to you and taking committed steps toward those values, even when hard feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can reduce crisis moments and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins on a day you are pressed for time, sessions that remove commuting, or options that work when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice to remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
