About Julie

Julie Schindhelm is a Pennsylvania-based LCSW with 22 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, relationship challenges, trauma, and a wide range of emotional concerns. She draws on a background in marriage and family work and trauma-informed care to create treatment plans that fit each client's situation.

Background and approach

Julie emphasizes clarity and practical problem solving to reduce stress and support life changes. Her approach blends evidence-based tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method, applied with attention to individual needs across the lifespan.

Julie works with children, adolescents, couples, and adults on issues including anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, parenting struggles, intimacy and communication problems, and other life transitions. Her style aims to make therapy comfortable and approachable while building tangible coping skills and improving relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Julie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build practical coping strategies. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are helpful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting methods over time so care aligns with evolving needs and circumstances.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and allow for different styles of communication depending on what the client finds most comfortable.
