About Julianne
Julianne Alston is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) who focuses on helping people handle sudden changes, loss, and stress. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Parents under pressure and people coping with trauma or anxiety often seek her support.
She draws on six years of clinical experience and a master’s degree in social work. Her background includes infant mental health and work across the lifespan, including newborns, toddlers, youth, teens, adults, and older adults. That variety informs how she talks with caregivers and individuals about routine stressors and big transitions.
Julianne uses concrete tools like cognitive behavioral therapy to address anxious thoughts and unhelpful behavior patterns. She also brings in motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and attachment-based ideas to improve caregiver-child relationships. She describes her style as easy-going and strength-focused, so sessions look at what people already do well and build from there.
Common topics she supports include trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting challenges, self-esteem, ADHD, stress, and coping with life changes. She also works with issues such as abandonment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and post-traumatic stress.
Julianne practices in Michigan and offers sessions in English. People who want to try therapy start by using the site Start Therapy button, filling out a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to the therapist's availability.
How her approaches translate to online work
Julianne commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas in her sessions. CBT focuses on identifying stressful or unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small practical experiments to reduce anxiety and improve daily routines. Attachment-based work centers on relationships and caregiving patterns, helping parents strengthen bonds and respond to children's emotional needs.Choosing the best approach is a shared process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts techniques over time. This collaborative approach helps tailor strategies for parenting challenges, grief, trauma recovery, or managing stress and ADHD-related struggles.
