About Julie

Julie Presler is a New York LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. Julie also addresses related concerns such as codependency, communication problems, loneliness, and mood or panic symptoms.

She focuses on clear, practical conversations. Sessions look at current problems and small steps that can reduce distress. Julie uses humor sometimes to ease tension and help difficult topics feel more manageable. She aims to help people build coping skills and make plans toward specific goals.

Her approach centers on identifying what keeps a problem going, then trying different ways to change it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a regular part of the work, used to notice unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Julie draws on both professional experience and her own life experience when supporting clients.

Julie often helps people who feel stuck after trauma or large life shifts, who struggle with racing thoughts or avoidance, or who are rebuilding after substance problems. She encourages straightforward problem-solving alongside emotional processing. Sessions are focused and practical, with time set aside to review progress and adjust plans.

Julie practices in New York and provides services in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.

How CBT and practical work translate to online sessions

Julie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions usually involve setting small goals, practicing new coping skills, and reviewing what worked between meetings. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and many stress-related problems.

The therapist treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision. She will discuss what seems most useful based on your goals and preferences and adjust the plan over time. Finding the best fit is an active process you do together, not a fixed prescription.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins that align with work or study breaks. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can help when a shorter or lower-tech session is preferable. Many licensed professionals adapt CBT tools to remote sessions so the core work - setting goals, practicing skills, and reviewing progress - can continue effectively.
