Juliana Sutnik, LPC

Juliana Sutnik is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 25 years of clinical experience. She began her career as a psychologist in Brazil and has since worked with many people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Juliana speaks English and Portuguese and aims to make the first step toward help feel manageable for anyone considering therapy.

She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help clients handle worry, low mood, sleep problems, and parenting strains. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a frequent part of her work, focused on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented, with clear steps between meetings.

Juliana also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and major life changes. She can help when mood swings, bipolar symptoms, obsessions and compulsions, or phobias are affecting day-to-day life. Her background working across cultures informs an approach that respects different life stories and values.

Practical matters are part of the conversation too, such as improving communication, coping with blended family challenges, and handling immigration-related stress. She helps clients build skills for forgiveness, reducing paranoia and addressing domestic violence concerns when relevant.

Sessions focus on small, achievable changes that add up over time. Juliana emphasizes clear goals, regular check-ins, and techniques people can use between meetings. That combination makes progress easier to track and sustain.

How CBT and online sessions work together

Juliana often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) online, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors. CBT tools include simple exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments that translate well to remote formats and help with anxiety, depression, obsessions, and sleep problems.

The choice of approach is a collaborative process. Juliana will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then choose techniques that fit those needs. She adjusts pacing and homework so the plan feels doable for each person rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let the therapist and client work face-to-face when that helps with exercises and feedback. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or step-by-step skill practice easier to fit into a busy day. Together these formats give options to match scheduling, comfort, and the kind of work someone wants to do online.
