About Julie

Julie Fahlmann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. She uses straightforward, practical conversation to help clients identify steps they can try between sessions.

Her tone is direct and compassionate, aimed at parents and adults who want clear options and doable plans.

Background and approach

Julie draws on several evidence-based methods to guide treatment. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also applies Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person's goals central, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - skills for emotional regulation when needed.

With three years of clinical experience, Julie works through real-life problems with concrete strategies. She focuses on what is realistic for each person's life and circumstances. Sessions are practical, goal-oriented, and paced to fit what each person can manage.

Julie holds a New York LCSW license, number NY LCSW 082918. She provides services in English and does not work with international clients. Available session formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Information about cost notes that pricing varies by location and therapist availability and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. This approach helps match the right needs to the most helpful methods before work begins.

Approaches and online care that fit real family needs

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person's goals. It gives people space to set the pace and topics of work while the therapist supports what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple tools to change patterns that cause distress. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by offering concrete skills to try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication, which can be useful for relationship and parenting stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose and adjust techniques based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative planning helps make sure sessions stay relevant and practical for each person's life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats allow for flexible scheduling and let people continue work from home or another convenient place. They make it easier to keep regular contact and to use brief check-ins or longer sessions depending on what fits a family's routine.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
