About Julie
Julie Schindhelm is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 22 years in mental health. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship questions, parenting challenges, and anger. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth.
Julie aims to make sessions feel straightforward and manageable for people under pressure. Julie uses clear tools to help clients sort problems and reduce stress. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address anxious thoughts and unhelpful behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses methods from couples work to improve communication and connection when relationships are strained. For people who struggle with strong emotions, Julie brings skills from dialectical behavior approaches to build better stress tolerance and emotional regulation. She also applies trauma-informed ideas when past hurt affects daily life.
Sessions focus on concrete skills, short-term problem solving, and steady progress toward real goals. Julie is comfortable helping people who are grieving, facing life transitions, dealing with parenting or fertility concerns, or working through intimacy and self-esteem issues. She also supports those coping with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue from caregiving roles.
Clients can expect a collaborative rhythm in sessions. Julie listens, helps name the patterns that cause trouble, and offers practical exercises to try between meetings. The work is paced to fit each person’s needs and daily life.
Based in Pennsylvania, Julie provides a mix of talk, skill practice, and problem-solving to help people move forward from stuck places.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Julie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach often includes homework and simple skills to practice between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and action, guiding people to accept difficult feelings while taking steps toward a meaningful life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving stress tolerance, which can be practiced in short, focused sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative step in therapy. Julie will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls are suited to in-depth conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Text and live chat work well for brief updates, worksheets, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
