About Julie

Julie Presler is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on eight years of clinical experience to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, develop practical coping skills, and set realistic goals for a more satisfying life. Julie emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach and often uses gentle humor to make difficult conversations feel more manageable.

Her style centers on helping clients process past hurts, reduce overwhelming symptoms such as racing thoughts or avoidance, and build concrete plans for change.

Julie frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to challenge negative thinking and promote actionable coping strategies, while also attending to relational and emotional themes like codependency, communication struggles, family problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

She aims to create an open therapeutic space where clients can explore motivations, heal from trauma, and move toward increased purpose and confidence.

CBT-Informed Care and Online Access

Julie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies to change behaviors and reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. This approach is useful for managing panic, persistent worry, and patterns that contribute to addiction or avoidance.

She combines CBT techniques with open, supportive conversation to address issues such as codependency, communication struggles, and emotional aftermath from trauma, helping clients clarify goals and build realistic plans. Finding the right therapeutic approach is collaborative; the therapist works together with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path from the outset.

Online therapy with Julie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for scheduling and for different styles of interaction. These options make it possible to continue consistent work on skills and coping strategies without rearranging life around appointments, and they allow therapists and clients to select the format that feels most helpful for progress.
