About Julie
Julie Schindhelm brings more than two decades of experience to her work in Pennsylvania. She is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - who focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and parenting concerns. Julie uses clear language and straightforward steps so busy people can understand their options and feel less stuck.
Julie often begins by helping clients name the problem and set small, achievable goals.
Background and approach
She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral work to address anxious thinking, Gottman-informed ideas for relationship concerns, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to build stress tolerance. Sessions tend to focus on what changes are possible now and how to try them between meetings. Her style is calm and conversational.
She aims to make sessions feel comfortable and collaborative, and she helps people develop plans that fit their daily lives. Julie also brings a trauma-informed perspective when past hurt affects present choices. She works with adults on issues such as parenting challenges, intimacy difficulties, sleep and eating concerns, career stress, and managing mood disorders like bipolar and depression.
Additional focuses include communication problems, divorce and separation, fertility issues, postpartum challenges, and coping with life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Julie uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and interested people begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.

Online support
Online approaches that help you build skills and repair relationships
Julie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward them, which can help when life feels overwhelmed or directionless. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when stress tolerance and emotion regulation are needed. DBT skills teach concrete tools for handling intense feelings and improving how someone copes in the moment. Together these approaches give a mix of values-based motivation, thinking tools, and hands-on skills for daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then tailor techniques to match what is most helpful. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates or skill reminders between meetings. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
