About Julie
Julie Schindhelm is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience in mental health. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, or major life changes. Julie uses clear, practical steps so people can start feeling steadier and more in control.
She draws on several approaches to match the needs of each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
How Julie works
The Gottman Method offers tools for improving communication and connection in relationships. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions and reducing reactivity. Julie often helps people work through trauma, depression, parenting challenges, and questions about identity.
She also supports those dealing with sleep and eating issues, burnout, ADHD, and career stress. Sessions aim to identify small, doable steps that reduce distress and build strengths. Her style is straightforward and collaborative.
She listens, asks practical questions, and helps set clear goals. Treatment plans are shaped to fit each person's life and priorities. Julie practices in Pennsylvania as an LCSW, which stands for licensed clinical social worker.
She offers sessions in English and provides therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short questionnaire and scheduling that fits the client and therapist.

How Julie’s Approaches Work Online
Julie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people make steady changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and reducing impulsive reactions.She combines these methods with relationship-focused tools when needed, helping clients practice communication and problem solving together. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to sessions.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for a full session with visual cues, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, skill practice, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
