About Julie
Julie Presler is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes, including concerns about guilt and shame.
Julie helps people name what feels overwhelming and then makes a clear plan to manage it. Sessions focus on practical coping skills, pacing difficult memories, and breaking problems into steps that are easier to tackle. She often uses plain talk and occasional humor to make things feel more manageable.
Her approach emphasizes identifying patterns that keep people stuck and trying small behavior changes to shift those patterns. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. That work is applied to issues like anxiety, panic, mood shifts, and substance-related problems.
Julie also supports people who are wrestling with family problems, codependency, communication difficulties, feelings of emptiness, impulsivity, and isolation. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where goals and plans are developed together.
Her background includes clinical and personal experience with mental health struggles, which she says inform how she relates to clients. People who meet with her can expect straightforward conversation, practical tools, and focused steps toward clearer choices.
How CBT shapes online sessions and practical benefits
Julie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online work. CBT helps people spot patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety, guilt, or low mood, and then try different, testable thoughts and behaviors to see what changes. This method suits problems like panic attacks, persistent worry, low self-esteem, and some addiction-related behaviors.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps. Sessions involve practical exercises, homework between meetings, and straightforward feedback so progress can be tracked together.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into daily life by reducing travel and allowing sessions around work or family schedules. It can also let someone choose a quieter setting, use audio-only when video is difficult, or schedule shorter check-ins when time is limited. Licensed professionals can match the therapy style and session rhythm to the client’s needs and routines.
