About Julie
Julie Setnan is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of clinical experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, grief, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem struggles. Julie speaks English and provides services from Illinois.
Julie emphasizes listening and practical, down-to-earth support. She approaches sessions with straightforward conversation and validation. Clients can expect someone who asks clear questions, reflects what she hears, and helps people notice small changes they can try between meetings.
Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to clarify unhelpful thoughts and develop new coping steps. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas for relationship patterns and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing techniques when trauma memories are part of the problem. The Gottman Method informs her when relationship communication is a focus.
Julie values continual learning and brings both professional training and life experience to sessions. She checks messages during weekdays and typically replies within 24 to 48 hours. She offers weekly sessions scheduled during several weekday afternoons.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Payment uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How Julie’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can name what matters. Online sessions using this approach let people speak about how their patterns show up in daily life and test small changes between meetings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then tries small experiments to shift them. Online CBT sessions typically include brief skill teaching, homework tasks, and review of what changed in everyday routines.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice how emotional patterns affect relationships and communication. In an online setting this can mean role practice, noticing interaction cycles, and learning new ways to ask for needs.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs evolve.
Session scheduling is designed to fit into weekday routines. The biography notes weekly appointments in several weekday afternoons and weekday message replies within 24 to 48 hours. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how the therapist is meeting with clients and which formats are available.
