About Julie

Julie Krupinski is a licensed clinical social worker with three decades of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, mood concerns, relationship and family struggles, grief, trauma, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a collaborative, person-centered stance that honors each client's expertise about their own life while offering practical tools and evidence-informed strategies to build resilience and healthier patterns. Her practice blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and mindfulness-oriented interventions and motivational approaches, delivered in a warm, validating manner.

Julie draws on a long history of work across multiple settings and is familiar with 12-step approaches, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and issues like codependency, forgiveness, and self-esteem. She aims to empower clients to develop new coping skills, reorganize unhelpful habits, and reclaim a sense of purpose and self-compassion.

Based in New Jersey, Julie brings an interactive style that balances empathy with clear, goal-focused work. She frames therapy as a joint effort to explore strengths, address obstacles such as impulsivity or substance use, and create sustainable change over time.

Blending practical therapies with flexible online care

Julie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems where skills-based work can reduce distress. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with personal values; ACT can be helpful for moving forward despite discomfort and for building psychological flexibility.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Julie works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then blends methods such as CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single model on everyone.

Online therapy offers practical benefits like easier scheduling and access from home or another convenient location. Julie provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different comfort levels and life demands, helping clients maintain consistency and integrate therapeutic work into their daily routines.
