Julianne Chace, LICSW

Julianne Chace is a licensed clinical social worker in Massachusetts who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable. Julianne speaks plainly and listens closely so people feel heard.

Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on practical skills people can use between meetings. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns of behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and build willingness to act despite difficult feelings.

Julianne also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns that affect emotions and coping. She uses client-centered techniques to create a respectful space where a person sets the pace. When helpful, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy are added to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns beyond core mood and anxiety issues. She supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, communication problems, and isolation or loneliness. She also addresses process addictions, impulsivity, personality and mood disorders, intellectual disability related concerns, and self-harm behaviors.

Julianne has five years of clinical experience and holds an MA and LICSW. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. The goal is steady progress through clear steps and practical tools.

How online approaches and therapy methods fit together

Julianne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework that make day-to-day life feel more manageable for issues like anxiety and depression.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most and take steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. ACT helps when avoidance or painful feelings get in the way of living a meaningful life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julianne will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together the therapist and client choose techniques and pace the work so it fits the person's needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer sessions, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, and chat or text can suit quick check-ins or brief skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between appointments.
