About Julie
Julie Fahlmann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She also addresses addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, self-esteem concerns, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Julie writes plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for busy parents and adults.
Julie draws on three years of recent practice experience and uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions.
Background and approach
She listens first and helps clients set clear, short-term goals. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings to reduce worry, improve mood, and handle stressful moments. Her approach mixes client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy.
That means she helps people notice patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety, practice different responses, and learn skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Julie tends to structure work around specific problems and steps toward change. She may use motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and solution-focused strategies to map quick, achievable steps.
The emphasis is on practical tools and a collaborative working relationship. People can expect brief skill teaching, guided practice in session, and check-ins about progress. Julie works with concerns such as attachment and abandonment, caregiving stress, chronic illness, communication problems, dissociation, and domestic violence among other focus areas.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered through multiple online formats.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Julie uses client-centered therapy to prioritize what matters to each person, offering a listening stance that helps people clarify goals and feel heard. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to practice new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical behavior therapy elements teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for intense or rapidly changing feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie works together with each person to choose which methods match their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision happens early and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people work face to face when schedules and technology allow. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and skill practice easier between longer sessions.
