Julie Fahlmann, LCSW

Julie Fahlmann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship or parenting concerns. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse, and aging and geriatric issues. Julie explains the therapy process in plain terms and focuses on building a trusting relationship before moving into treatment work.

Julie uses practical, goal-driven methods in sessions. She leans on client-centered conversations to understand each person’s story. She draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to find patterns that keep problems going and DBT skills to manage intense feelings and behaviors. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies guide short-term goals and change-oriented steps.

Her background includes training and a career in social work that spans clinical and community settings. Julie holds an MSW and has worked in emergency room psychiatry, outpatient therapy, addiction counseling, school social work, homecare medical social work, probation services, and corrections. That range informs how she assesses risk and designs realistic plans tailored to day-to-day life.

In sessions she helps people set clear goals, practice new skills, and track small changes over time. Conversations are straightforward and paced to what a person can handle. The focus is on practical steps that fit into regular routines.

Julie has three years of experience as an LCSW in the context given and offers sessions in English. Prospective clients are encouraged to use the Start Therapy process and complete the matching questionnaire to arrange scheduling.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps people identify what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and builds practical exercises to change those patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling relationships more effectively.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying skills from CBT for daily patterns, using DBT skills for emotional regulation, or taking a solution-focused route for a short-term goal.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering more flexible scheduling. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
