About Julianne

Julianne Alston is a licensed master social worker who helps people facing trauma, grief, anxiety, parenting stress, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and aims to make sessions calm and straightforward for worried parents and adults seeking change. Julianne brings six years of clinical experience and a practical focus to the work she does with clients.

She holds a clinical master’s degree in social work and an undergraduate degree in sociology.

Background and approach

Those backgrounds inform her attention to relationships and daily struggles. She has worked with people at many life stages, including newborns, toddlers, youth, teens, adults, and older adults, and she has experience supporting parents on infant mental health concerns. Julianne uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape patterns today.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change harmful thoughts and behaviors and uses Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change. Trauma-focused work and Internal Family Systems ideas appear when helpful for past wounds or inner conflict. Her style is easy-going and strength-focused.

Sessions aim to build practical skills like parenting strategies, coping tools for anxiety, and ways to manage grief or stress. She emphasizes clear steps people can try between sessions. Julianne describes herself as an advocate who supports clients toward improved day-to-day functioning.

Her approach centers on collaboration and steady progress, with attention to both emotions and concrete problem-solving.

Online support

How attachment work and practical therapy translate online

Julianne commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current relationship habits, helping people notice patterns and try different ways of relating. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs, adjusting over time when something isn’t working. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies feel most useful for parenting concerns, trauma recovery, or stress management.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you work face to face when more connection helps. Phone sessions are useful if video isn’t possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easy to check in between meetings or fit brief sessions into a busy day. These options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing family, work, and other obligations.
