About Julie
Julie Schehr brings 25 years of clinical social work experience to her New Jersey practice as an LCSW. She focuses on supporting people navigating life transitions and medical-related challenges, drawing on a long history of work that includes medical settings and caregiving contexts.
Background and approach
Her approach emphasizes practical skills to help clients manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, sleep difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and career-related changes. She primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in short-term work aimed at teaching concrete strategies and tools so clients can better cope with current problems and step away from therapy when ready.
Julie values each person’s unique story and centers the client’s goals when shaping treatment plans. Warm and engaging, she aims to build a collaborative relationship that empowers clients to make changes and gain confidence in handling life’s challenges.
Julie works with a range of concerns including aging and geriatric issues, cancer and hospice-related needs, caregiver stress, relationship transitions such as divorce or commitment issues, fertility and reproductive concerns, isolation and loneliness, midlife and life-purpose questions, social anxiety, women’s issues, and young adult matters.
CBT-informed Care Available Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is central to her work and involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT emphasizes practical skills and structured exercises that can help with sleep problems, worry, low mood, and managing life transitions.
Julie also frames short-term, goal-oriented therapy as a way to teach coping skills and strategies clients can use beyond sessions. This approach focuses on clear, measurable goals and frequent review of progress so people gain tools to manage current difficulties and step away from therapy when ready.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as understanding grows. Clients are invited to share their priorities so treatment is shaped around what matters most to them.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access care from home or work while working with a licensed professional.
