About Julie

Julie Reibsane is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Pennsylvania who focuses on supporting people facing relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, mood concerns, and stress-related issues.

Background and approach

She brings a compassionate, respectful stance to sessions and adapts interventions to each client's circumstances, drawing on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside motivational and solution-focused techniques.

With three years of documented experience as an LCSW and LCSW-C, Julie emphasizes practical skills and collaborative problem solving to address communication breakdowns, parenting challenges, intimacy concerns, grief, anger, self-esteem, and bipolar-related difficulties.

She also has experience with veteran and armed forces issues and post-traumatic stress, and works to help clients navigate the effects of trauma on daily life. Julie describes her style as warm and interactive, tailoring conversations and plans to fit individual needs while avoiding stigmatizing labels.

Her goal is to empower clients to identify realistic steps forward, build coping strategies, and strengthen relationships and functioning across important areas of life.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to change reactions and behaviors; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily life difficulties. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, which can be useful for addressing patterns that feel stuck or hard to shift.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailor interventions and adjust strategies over time so the care fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access consistent support from home or other locations. These formats allow therapists to deliver evidence-informed techniques, homework suggestions, and skill-building in ways that fit modern routines and different comfort levels.
