About Julia
Julia Lachman is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LICSW) with 16 years of experience practicing in Massachusetts. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and big life transitions. Julia aims to offer a warm, collaborative space where clients can set clear, manageable goals.
She uses practical, structured methods to help people name unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking. Sessions include concrete action steps to practice between meetings so progress continues outside of the appointment.
Background and approach
Messaging between sessions is available and she typically responds within 24 hours. Julia often works with young adults and those facing social anxiety, panic attacks, loneliness, and struggles with life purpose or communication. She also supports people working on self-love and motivation.
She does not provide services focused on substance misuse or suicidal crisis care, and she does not provide court-ordered therapy. Her style is encouraging and goal-oriented. Meetings are collaborative - the client and therapist decide together what to try next.
Expect clear suggestions, short skills practice, and follow-up tasks designed to be realistic in daily life. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Julia practices from Massachusetts and works in English only.
To get started, a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling step will connect you with the right session time.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Julia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try alternatives that reduce worry or low mood. CBT focuses on clear steps you can practice between sessions and works well for anxiety, panic, and social fears.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find personal reasons to make changes. This approach is conversational and helps clarify what matters most so motivation grows from the client’s own goals.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Julia will discuss options and tailor techniques to the client’s goals and preferences. She checks in about what's working and adjusts the plan together over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work face to face remotely, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief process work between appointments. These options help fit therapy into busy days and make it easier to practice skills in real life.
