About Julie
Julie Jalewsky is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Julie also lists codependency among her focus areas and helps people notice patterns of putting others first and losing their own needs.
She uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to address problems like mood disorders, ADHD, addiction, trauma, and grief. Sessions tend to focus on practical skills - for example recognizing thought patterns, trying small behavioral changes, and practicing new communication approaches. Julie also draws on reflective work that looks at past relationships and attachment influences.
People who come to her often want help with intimacy-related issues, boundaries, parenting strain, caregiving stress, and managing chronic illness or pain. She works with those navigating major life changes, divorce or separation, and concerns tied to identity and LGBT issues. Julie includes attention to body image, eating and sleeping problems when relevant.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, Motivational Interviewing, narrative techniques, and psychodynamic ideas. That mix lets her move between practical coping tools and deeper exploration of recurring patterns. Clients can expect a balance of structured skill-building and reflective conversation.
Julie practices in Massachusetts and conducts sessions in English. She does not accept international clients. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How sessions work
How Julie blends therapeutic approaches for online work
Julie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and tackling people-pleasing habits by changing routines and responses.She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to help with stress, emotional regulation, and staying present during tense interpersonal moments. Motivational Interviewing appears in her work when someone needs help finding personal reasons to change behavior, such as addressing addictive patterns or increasing self-care.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Julie will work with clients to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying practical tools first or shifting toward deeper exploration of relationship patterns if that proves more useful.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often adapt tools and exercises for remote meetings so learning skills and reflecting on patterns can continue between sessions.
