Julianne Chace

Julianne Chace is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and major life changes. She aims to create an open space where people can name difficult thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Julianne emphasizes steady support while people take steps toward clearer goals and a better day-to-day routine.

She draws on practical, evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and emotion-focused skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sessions focus on learning small, usable strategies to manage strong emotions and reduce interference from worry or painful memories. Conversations also look at patterns in relationships and attachment that affect daily life.

Julianne has five years of professional experience working with a wide range of concerns including attachment issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, autism and Asperger Syndrome, intellectual disability, and process addictions. She also supports people who struggle with isolation and loneliness and the shame or guilt that often comes with these struggles.

Her approach is warm and client-centered. She listens first, and then offers tools and practices that fit a person’s goals and values. For people ready to begin, she asks a few straightforward questions to match priorities and establish manageable next steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarifies what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical experiments and behavior changes to reduce distress. It works well for worry, mood changes, and coping with life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and early bonds to understand how people relate now and to build safer, more connected interactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust as needed. You and the therapist decide together which techniques feel helpful and sustainable over time.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to practice new skills between sessions and to bring real-life situations into discussion. Ask about current session options when you begin the matching process so you know how visits will be scheduled and delivered.
