About Julie
Julie Schindhelm is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 22 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, and related issues. Julie focuses on practical steps to reduce stress and clarify decisions when life feels overwhelming.
She uses straightforward conversations to help people sort through their situation. That might mean mapping options when a relationship is strained or outlining small daily changes to improve sleep and mood. Julie often combines problem-solving with skills practice so people leave sessions with something to try between meetings.
Her background includes work with couples, parents, adolescents, and adults in settings that emphasize family systems and trauma-informed care. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address anxious thinking and behaviors, the Gottman Method for relationship patterns, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy for stress tolerance and emotion regulation skills.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and practical techniques. Julie helps people identify what matters most, set manageable steps, and rehearse new ways of responding to anger or conflict. She also offers support around parenting challenges, grief, career decisions, and life transitions.
People who prefer a direct, skills-based approach may find her style useful. She asks questions, offers feedback, and works collaboratively to develop a plan that fits daily life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How ACT, CBT, and DBT translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name their values and take small actions that line up with those values. It is useful for people who want to reduce avoidance and live more consistently with what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and anxiety. It works well when someone wants concrete tools to manage worry and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense feelings, improving distress tolerance, and handling interpersonal conflict.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Many clients use a mix of approaches so sessions can include both skill practice and relationship work.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel when schedules are tight. Therapists can assign brief exercises between meetings and coach in-the-moment skills during sessions to help translate learning into daily life.
