About Julie
Julie Jalewsky is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions in straightforward, practical ways. Julie listens carefully and helps clients find steps that feel doable right now.
Her approach combines talk-based work with tools that make daily life easier. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Motivational Interviewing and narrative ideas are used to clarify priorities and rewrite unhelpful stories about oneself.
Julie often supports people facing relationship strain, codependency concerns, grief, and career stress. She also works with folks dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, addiction, trauma, and caregiving strain. Sessions aim to strengthen communication, self-respect, and practical coping skills rather than relying on jargon.
Clients can expect a collaborative tone in sessions. Julie asks about history and daily routines, then helps set short-term goals to test new habits. She balances understanding the past with building tools for the present so change feels manageable.
Her practice emphasizes respect for identity and difference, including work with LGBTQ+ people and those navigating identity shifts. People who choose her often want clear steps, steady support, and guidance in making lasting changes.
How Julie's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Julie often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, then plans small experiments to test new actions. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing everyday stress.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus. These practices can help with sleep, eating concerns, and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative decision can change over time as different strategies are tested.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and making it easier to keep regular appointments. If you plan to book, confirm the available session formats before scheduling so you know what to expect. Online options can make it simpler to do short check-ins, try homework between sessions, or schedule sessions during a lunch break without travel.
