About Julie
Julie Presler, LMHC, helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or life changes. She focuses on practical coping skills and goal-setting so daily life feels more manageable. Her approach is direct and down-to-earth, with room for humor when that feels right.
She invites people who are struggling with motivation, low self-esteem, or addictive behaviors to talk through what’s happening and find clearer next steps. Presler uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
She works with clients to form simple plans for managing panic, mood shifts, or racing thoughts. Sessions often include skills practice, problem solving, and short-term plans to reduce immediate distress. Julie draws on eight years of professional experience in mental health and holds a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential.
She says her own life experience with mental health informs how she connects with people. Her manner is conversational and practical, aiming to make therapy feel less heavy and more doable. People who are dealing with codependency, family problems, guilt, shame, loneliness, or questions about life purpose often come to her for support.
She also has experience with postpartum depression, trauma, and mood or personality concerns. Sessions emphasize clear steps clients can try between meetings to notice small changes. Therapy with Presler focuses on building coping skills, reducing avoidance, and helping clients move toward goals that matter to them.
She encourages honest conversation and creates space for clients to explore what’s holding them back and what might help next.
How CBT and online sessions can ease anxiety
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. It breaks problems into small, manageable parts and teaches concrete skills to change thinking patterns and reactions.In sessions that focus on coping with panic or mood swings, practical CBT exercises help people learn breathing and grounding techniques, plan small behavioral experiments, and reframe negative thoughts. For addictive behaviors and codependency, the approach emphasizes clearer choices, coping plans, and building new routines that support recovery.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that fit their goals, needs, and daily life. Together they set priorities, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions are helpful for face-to-face conversation and skills demonstration. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or share quick updates. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain steady support while working toward change.
