About Julie
Julie Jalewsky is a LICSW - a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - practicing in Massachusetts with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship difficulties, and the stresses that come with major life changes. Julie lists young adult issues among her areas of focus and often supports people navigating early-adulthood pressures like career starts, identity questions, and relationship shifts.
She uses a mix of practical, talk-based approaches. Sessions often include looking at how thoughts influence behavior and trying small, testable changes in daily routines. Julie also draws on mindfulness techniques to help with stress and grounding, and on narrative ideas to help people make sense of their life stories.
Her background includes two decades of clinical practice in Massachusetts and work with a wide range of concerns, from bipolar disorder and addictions to grief, parenting strains, and trauma. That experience contributes to a flexible way of working that adapts to each person’s situation. Julie notes experience with issues such as attachment and abandonment, chronic illness, body image, and blended family stress.
In sessions she focuses on clear communication and practical coping strategies. Expect conversations about patterns, small behavioral experiments, and skills to manage mood and focus. Julie also includes coaching-style steps when helpful for goal setting and career concerns.
She conducts work in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the platform's matching and scheduling process.
How Julie uses therapy approaches online
Julie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to alter mood and functioning; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems with focus or motivation. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and present-moment awareness to reduce stress and improve sleep and emotional regulation.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify goals and resolve mixed feelings about change. That method is conversational and practical, often helpful for addictions, career steps, and making shifts in daily routines. Choosing which approaches to use is collaborative; she will discuss options and tailor the work to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a single method automatically.
Confirm which online session formats are offered before scheduling, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, a first job, or caregiving by removing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue therapy during life transitions, while keeping focus on practical skills, experiments, and goal-focused conversations.
