About Julie

Julie Jalewsky, LICSW, brings 20 years of clinical experience to her Massachusetts practice, grounding care in cognitive behavioral therapy alongside complementary modalities.

Background and approach

She focuses on helping people navigate depression, anxiety, bipolar mood concerns, and the stressors that accompany major life changes, using practical strategies to address thoughts, behaviors, and emotional responses.

Her work also encompasses a broad set of related concerns including addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, self-esteem and body image struggles, parenting and blended family dynamics, and the complexities of chronic illness or caregiver stress. Julie integrates mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative, and psychodynamic ideas to tailor treatment to each person’s history and goals.

Clients can expect a collaborative, compassionate approach that emphasizes communication, resilience building, and skill development. Julie aims to help people clarify priorities, manage symptoms, and create actionable plans for coping and growth while honoring individual values and life circumstances.

Using Evidence-Informed Approaches in Online Therapy

Julie frequently draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, mood instability, and stress. She also incorporates mindfulness techniques that teach present-moment awareness and self-regulation skills useful for emotion management and coping with intense feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie works with each person to understand their concerns, goals, and preferences and then tailors methods accordingly, combining techniques as needed so that treatment fits the individual rather than forcing one fixed model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule consistent care around work, family, and other obligations. These formats allow licensed professionals like Julie to deliver focused interventions, homework support, and ongoing coaching without requiring in-person visits, increasing accessibility for people with varied needs and locations.
