About Julie
Julie Schindhelm is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 22 years of experience. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship questions, family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and a wide range of life changes. Julie also works with issues such as social anxiety and phobia, panic attacks, parenting strain, and grief.
Julie draws on several evidence-based methods to shape practical sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used to boost emotion regulation and stress tolerance. She also applies Gottman principles when addressing relationship and communication problems.
Sessions focus on clear goals and concrete steps. Julie helps people break problems into manageable pieces. She talks through options, practices coping skills, and supports decision-making about relationships and parenting. The work tends to be structured and action-oriented rather than long, open-ended talk.
Her background includes extensive clinical work with adults and adolescents facing anxiety, trauma-related concerns, and relationship strain. Julie’s approach emphasizes learning specific strategies to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. She also assists with career questions, self-esteem, and coping after major life events.
People who prefer practical tools and steady problem-solving often find this style useful. Julie offers sessions in English and practices in Pennsylvania as an LCSW. If someone is considering therapy for social anxiety or related struggles, she helps set clear steps to move forward.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values. It emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and can help with anxiety and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with behavioral experiments. It tends to be a practical, skill-based approach for social anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are useful for managing intense reactions and improving communication. Finding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That means checking in regularly and choosing exercises that match the person’s needs and preferences. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and letting people use quieter surroundings or a device that suits them. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and behavioral practices to an online appointment so the work stays practical and focused.Areas of expertise
