About Giulia

Giulia Bayuk is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood challenges, and concerns around relationships and self-esteem. Giulia also helps with issues related to grief, trauma and abuse, LGBT matters, eating and body image worries, parenting strain, and attention-related challenges.

Giulia uses straightforward conversations to identify what is most urgent for each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to build practical skills for managing mood, thoughts, and intense emotions. Sessions often focus on breaking problems into concrete steps and practicing coping tools between meetings.

She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, patterns of codependency, and problems with communication or commitment. Giulia also addresses blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic illness impacts, and recovery from domestic violence or separation. These topics are explored in small, manageable steps so people can test new ways of relating and reacting.

When work centers on intimacy or sexual concerns, she helps people name patterns and try different approaches to closeness. For eating and body image issues, conversations combine behavior-focused strategies with attention to underlying emotions. Giulia integrates mood disorder supports when depression, bipolar symptoms, or disruptive mood patterns are part of the picture.

She offers therapy in English from New Jersey. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Giulia encourages a collaborative process where goals are agreed and progress is reviewed regularly.

How CBT and DBT inform online sessions

Giulia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on changing thinking patterns and building small, practical experiments to alter mood and reaction. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and self-critical thoughts that feed guilt or shame.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy methods to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. DBT techniques are aimed at tolerating strong feelings and improving how people communicate under stress. These tools can help when shame leads to avoidance or volatile responses in relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adapts techniques as needed. That collaboration continues as skills are practiced between sessions and reviewed together.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can shorten travel time, allow a shorter check-in during a break, or avoid being on camera when that helps someone focus. Licensed professionals use online formats to keep work practical and focused on skill-building and problem-solving.
