About Julie

Julie Fahlmann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, bipolar concerns, and ADHD. She communicates plainly and aims to build a trusting, respectful relationship where clients feel heard and understood. Julie draws on a mix of practical methods in sessions.

She uses client-centered listening to understand each person’s goals. She applies cognitive behavioral tools to spot and change unhelpful thinking.

Background and approach

She also brings techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when people need emotion regulation or help with change. Her background includes experience across mental health settings. She has worked in emergency room psychiatric services, outpatient therapy, addiction treatment, and correctional settings, and has supported people in school and homecare environments.

That variety informs how she tailors plans to everyday life challenges. Julie describes therapy as a collaborative process. She works with each person to set realistic steps and checks progress along the way.

Sessions tend to focus on skills people can use between meetings as well as the issues brought into the room. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Julie has three years of experience listed in this profile as an LCSW practicing in New York and conducts sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening first and helping people name their goals; the therapist follows each person’s lead and offers support that matches what they want to work on. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small, practical changes that reduce anxiety, improve mood, and support daily functioning. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches emotional regulation and coping skills that can help when feelings feel overwhelming or when impulsive behavior gets in the way.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try different strategies, and adjust plans based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to find techniques that fit a person's needs and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions, do shorter updates, or share thoughts in writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping focus on progress and practical tools.
