About Julie
Julie Fahlmann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, parenting strain, depression, relationship worries, grief, low self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and codependency. She greets new clients with a straightforward, respectful approach and helps them set clear goals for therapy. Julie focuses on building trust so people feel comfortable talking about hard things.
Julie uses practical, action-focused techniques alongside gentler, insight-oriented work. Sessions often include skills practice, problem-solving, and checking how changes fit into everyday life. She blends client-centered listening with evidence-based tools from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches, and uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies when useful.
Her background includes a BA in psychology with a focus in forensic psychology and a Master of Social Work earned in 2004 from the University at Albany School of Social Welfare. She holds the LCSW credential in New York. Prior roles have included emergency room psychiatric social work, outpatient therapy, probation work, addiction counseling, behavior support for developmental disabilities, medical social work in homecare, school social work, and work in a county correctional facility.
Julie describes therapy as a joint process. She helps people identify patterns, try small changes, and track what helps. Sessions aim to connect daily challenges to long-term goals and build practical coping skills.
She typically keeps an evening schedule but can sometimes offer alternative times when needed. People are encouraged to review options and choose a time that fits their routine.
How Julie Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities. It helps people feel heard and shapes the goals they want to reach in therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits and manage mood or anxiety symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers techniques for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about current struggles, goals, and preferences and then try methods that seem most useful. Techniques can be adjusted as progress is made so sessions stay focused on what the person needs.
Specific session formats are not stated in the provided profile, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full in-person session is hard to schedule. It also makes it simpler to access a licensed professional from your home or workplace when timing matters. Ask about session length and scheduling choices when you book to find what fits your routine.
