Julie Jalewsky

Julie Jalewsky is a Massachusetts LICSW with 20 years of clinical experience helping adults who feel stuck or uncertain about their next step. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, grief, and major life changes. Julie also supports those questioning relationships, intimacy, body image, and career direction, including LGBT clients and caregivers under strain.

She uses clear, practical approaches in sessions. Julie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change day-to-day patterns. She blends mindfulness exercises to calm attention and Motivational Interviewing to clarify what a person really wants. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are used when past patterns and personal stories are blocking forward movement.

Sessions focus on talking through real problems and working toward small, doable changes. Julie pays attention to communication patterns, attachment concerns, and issues like abandonment or codependency when those come up. She also addresses sleep, eating, chronic illness, and the stress of major life transitions.

Her work is conversational and goal-oriented. People can expect active collaboration about next steps, practical tools to manage symptoms, and space to reconsider priorities such as career or parenting demands. Julie helps people weigh options and test changes rather than promising a specific outcome.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Julie uses evidence-based approaches online

Julie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and change everyday behaviors that keep them stuck. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood shifts.

She also applies Mindfulness Therapy to train attention and reduce rumination. Mindfulness techniques can be brief breathing and grounding exercises that help when stress or strong emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with clients to choose which methods to try based on current goals, symptoms, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as needed rather than sticking to one method.

Confirm current session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can happen during a lunch break or between responsibilities. If technical or attention limits make video challenging, alternatives can sometimes be arranged; ask about options when you schedule.
