About Julie

Julie Reibsane is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Pennsylvania.

She aims to create respectful, compassionate sessions without labels that feel hurtful. Her practice focuses on practical skills and short-term strategies alongside deeper work when it is needed.

Background and approach

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Solution-Focused techniques to set clear goals and build on what already works in a person’s life. Julie has three years of clinical experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, holding the credentials LCSW and LCSW-C.

Her background includes supporting people with depression, bipolar challenges, anger, intimacy issues, and post-traumatic stress. She has worked with veterans and others affected by trauma and abuse. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Payment is handled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to the therapist’s availability. Julie aims to partner with each person to set realistic goals and practical next steps.

Approaches for online family and trauma care

Julie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes that often reduce anxiety or low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on stabilizing symptoms and working through painful memories in manageable steps to reduce distress and increase daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there she recommends or adapts methods so they match the client’s needs and pace in a collaborative way.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule, continue care from home, and use short check-ins or deeper conversations as needed. Julie supports planning practical next steps that can be practiced between sessions using the format that feels most comfortable.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
