About Julia
Julia Lachman is an LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) based in Massachusetts with 16 years of clinical experience. She works mainly with young adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, panic, and the changes that come with starting new chapters in life. Her focus also includes communication problems, loneliness, life purpose, social anxiety and building self-love.
Julia uses clear, structured sessions that set achievable steps between meetings. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts that worsen mood and anxiety. She also brings motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools to help people build momentum and practical plans.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and action-oriented. Each meeting typically ends with agreed-upon steps to try before the next session. Julia notes she is not a specialist in substance misuse or in supporting people who have experienced suicidal thoughts; in those cases she encourages finding someone with that specific expertise.
She offers follow-up messaging and usually responds within 24 hours. Her approach suits people who want straightforward skills, regular check-ins, and short-term goals alongside longer-term work. The tone is encouraging and focused on small, steady changes.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Julia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting and testing thoughts that feed anxiety or low mood, then practicing new responses. This helps with panic, social anxiety, and feeling stuck after big life changes.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to explore a client's own reasons for change and to build commitment. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, achievable steps and to track practical progress between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then pick techniques that match what a person wants to change. That process is collaborative and adjusts over time as needs evolve.

In general, working with a licensed professional online can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up messaging between sessions for quick check-ins. Online sessions can also support shorter, focused meetings or regular weekly sessions depending on what a client needs.
