About Justine
Justine Gottlieb is a licensed clinical social worker in New York. She has twenty years of experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and changes that feel overwhelming. She aims for a strengths-based, wellness-oriented approach.
Sessions focus on listening, building insight, and trying practical ways to cope day to day. She uses Motivational Interviewing and psychodynamic ideas to guide conversations rather than relying on a single technique. Justine works with people coping with parenting and family challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, and self-esteem struggles.
Background and approach
She also supports concerns linked to aging, communication problems, emptiness, sexuality, and young adult transitions. In the room she mixes short-term, practical steps with attention to patterns that repeat over time. That can mean looking at what motivates change, noticing how past relationships shape current ones, and practicing new ways to respond to stress.
Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. She practices in New York and conducts therapy in English. Reaching out is often the hardest part.
She asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that fits their needs.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational, goal-oriented method that helps people find internal motivation to change. It is useful for decisions about parenting, coping with stress, or shifting habits that contribute to anxiety.Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to patterns in relationships and feelings that repeat over time. It helps people understand how past experiences influence current behavior and emotional reactions, which can be useful for relationship concerns, intimacy issues, and emptiness.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to concerns, discuss goals, and adapt methods to what feels most helpful. That collaborative process lets the person shape sessions around immediate coping needs and longer-term insight.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a full session with face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter, flexible ways to check in between sessions or fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other obligations.
