About Julie

Julie Fahlmann is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) licensed in New York with three years of clinical experience. She helps adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Sessions are in English and she does not accept international clients.

Julie uses straightforward, practical methods in session. She emphasizes talking through current problems and building skills you can use between appointments. Expect a mix of short-term strategies and deeper work aimed at changing patterns that keep problems repeating.

Her main approaches include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods. That combination lets her help with symptom management, motivation for change, and improving daily coping. Sessions often focus on specific steps you can try right away.

Julie trained in social work and holds an LCSW credential in New York. Before moving into private practice she worked in a range of settings, including hospital, outpatient, addiction services, schools, corrections, and homecare. That varied background informs how she sees practical barriers and supports to change.

People who come for help often need manageable tools for parenting stress, stronger communication at home, or help stopping patterns tied to addiction and trauma. Julie asks about your goals and helps pick approaches that fit what you need. To begin, you follow the site's matching steps and schedule an initial session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on your concerns and priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to you, helping you set clear goals and make decisions that fit your life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses concrete exercises and skill practice to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression and to change unhelpful habits.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It teaches attention to the present moment, distress tolerance, and techniques for steadier communication.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means adjusting strategies if something is not working and adding different tools over time.

Confirm which session formats are available before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the time needed to travel to an office. Talk with the therapist during the initial match and scheduling steps about what timing and format best fit daily life.
