About Julie
Julie Presler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with eight years of experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also focuses on concerns such as codependency, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness. Julie uses a direct, practical approach and sometimes brings light humor into sessions to make difficult topics easier to address.
Julie listens for the thoughts and habits that keep problems going. She and the person she works with set clear goals and build step-by-step plans to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Sessions prioritize learning coping skills that can be used between visits. The work emphasizes small, measurable changes rather than vague promises.
Her background includes hands-on clinical work in New York and personal experience with mental health challenges. That combination informs a pragmatic style that balances professional techniques with straightforward conversation. Julie describes her role as an objective confidant who helps people make practical decisions for themselves.
In practice she focuses on identifying concerns, planning next steps, and tracking progress. Common targets include reducing panic and anxiety, improving mood, addressing substance use patterns, and rebuilding motivation and confidence. Conversations cover concrete strategies for daily life, and progress is reviewed regularly to adjust plans as needed.
People who choose Julie should expect clear tasks, short-term skill building, and practical problem solving. She encourages active participation and follow-through between sessions to make change possible.
How CBT and practical skills work in online sessions
Julie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns and behaviors that maintain distress. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, then tests new ways of responding to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. This is useful for worry, panic attacks, mood problems, and problems with motivation.She focuses on short-term skill building during sessions. That means practicing breathing and grounding techniques, testing new thought patterns, and setting small behavioral steps to try between meetings. Progress is reviewed together and plans are adjusted based on what works for the person.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical constraints to decide which techniques to try first. The client and therapist check in regularly to see whether the plan should change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in their everyday environment and bring real-life examples into sessions for problem solving.
