   About Julianne

   Julianne Chace is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and big life changes. Julianne aims to make it easier to take that first step toward feeling better by offering steady, nonjudgmental support.

   In sessions she creates space for people to say what’s on their mind and to sort through strong feelings. She focuses on listening closely and responding in ways that help clients notice what matters to them. Conversations tend to be practical and grounded in the client’s everyday life.

   Her approach draws on several therapy methods, including Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, along with client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas. Julianne uses these tools to help people build skills, clarify goals, and try new ways of coping. She tailors methods to what each person needs rather than following one fixed plan.

   Julianne has five years of professional experience working with a range of emotional and behavioral concerns. She works with people who face challenges such as attachment issues, caregiver stress, process addictions, self-harm urges, mood and personality concerns, and difficulties tied to autism or intellectual disability.

   She offers straightforward guidance about next steps and what therapy might look like. To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step are used to match needs with available sessions.

2. Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

   Julianne uses Motivational Interviewing to help people notice their own motivation for change and to set personally meaningful goals in small steps. This method is useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about taking next steps.
   
   She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on identifying values and learning to accept difficult thoughts while committing to actions that matter. That approach can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.
   
   Finding the right approach is a cooperative process. The therapist will work with each person to test what fits best, combining approaches when helpful and adjusting plans based on progress and preferences.
   
   Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins between work tasks, avoiding travel time, or choosing audio rather than video when that suits someone better. Licensed professionals commonly adapt exercises, homework, and goal tracking to work well in remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
