About Justine
Justine Gottlieb is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping adults and parents navigate stressful times. She uses a strengths-oriented approach and listens carefully to understand each person's situation. She focuses on practical ways to cope with anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain.
In sessions she blends insight with concrete steps that people can use between meetings. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and find their own reasons to take action.
Background and approach
Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at patterns that repeat over time and where they might come from. She works with concerns such as parenting challenges, family conflict, self-esteem struggles, grief, intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. She also addresses aging and geriatric issues, communication problems, emptiness, and fatherhood issues.
Sessions aim to reduce immediate distress while also building longer-term skills. Justine offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Visits operate on a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist scheduling.
Based in New York, she conducts work in English and does not take international clients. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to clinician availability.

How psychodynamic work and motivational interviewing fit online therapy
Motivational Interviewing is a conversation style that helps people explore their own reasons for change and build motivation. It tends to be short-term and action-oriented, useful for shifting behaviors, managing anger, or making life changes.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and over time. It helps people understand where those patterns come from and how they affect current feelings and reactions, including long-standing anger or intimacy issues.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist decide together which combination of techniques to use.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video calls are close to an in-person conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a brief check-in, and messaging lets someone share updates between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, childcare, or other commitments.
