About Julie
Julie Jalewsky is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, ADHD, and stress using practical, person-centered methods. Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at getting to what matters most for each person.
Julie guides conversations so people can make sense of mood changes and life transitions. She helps clients spot patterns, try small changes, and build routines that fit day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skill-building for coping, communication, and improving sleep and self-care. Her background includes long experience with mood disorders, addictions, grief, and trauma and abuse. She also pays attention to identity and relationship questions, and supports those dealing with caregiving, chronic illness, or major life shifts.
Julie works with people concerned about intimacy, body image, or work stress and career decisions. In therapy she blends practical strategies with attention to personal history and stories. That means using focused exercises alongside deeper conversations about attachment and past experiences.
Clients learn tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness habits, and guided reflection to change unhelpful behavior patterns. Julie offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. She describes the first meetings as a chance to set goals and agree on how to work together.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the site's Start Therapy process.
How online approaches like CBT and mindfulness fit your life
Julie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. CBT offers concrete exercises, such as tracking mood and testing beliefs, that translate well to remote work and between-session practice.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. Mindfulness helps reduce reactivity to stress and can improve sleep and focus when used in short daily routines.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills training, reflective work, or a mix of methods and then adjust as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and guided exercises, while phone calls can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work for quick check-ins, homework support, or shorter coaching-style interactions. These options let people fit therapy into busy lives and try different formats to see what works best.
