Julie Jalewsky, LICSW

Julie Jalewsky is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience in Massachusetts. She focuses on helping people navigate anxiety, depression, stress, and major life changes. Her work also includes supporting people facing relationship struggles, identity questions, and challenges related to parenting and caregiving.

She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people make small changes that add up. Sessions center on identifying unhelpful patterns, learning new skills, and finding clearer ways to communicate with others. Julie aims to make therapy approachable and goal-focused so people can see progress between sessions.

Julie has worked across many concerns over two decades, including mood disorders, ADHD, addiction, trauma, grief, and intimacy-related issues. She also attends to related areas like body image, chronic illness, and blended family concerns. This range gives her experience with complex and overlapping problems rather than single issues in isolation.

Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and narrative and psychodynamic perspectives. She draws on motivational interviewing when people want help finding direction or committing to change. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

People who come to Julie often want clear steps and practical coping tools alongside space to process feelings. She helps clients build resilience, strengthen communication, and create manageable plans for work, family, or personal goals. Julie works in English and practices in Massachusetts.

How Julie’s approaches translate to online care

Julie commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes to improve mood and functioning. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing ADHD-related struggles.

She also incorporates mindfulness therapy to help people notice their reactions without getting swept away. Mindfulness practices can reduce stress and support clearer decision making during life transitions.

Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses when people want help finding direction or strengthening their commitment to change. It focuses on clarifying personal goals and building motivation in a nonjudgmental way.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Julie partners with each person to choose approaches based on their goals, current challenges, and what feels most useful. That means plans can shift as needs change over time.

If you prefer online options, check the session format when you schedule to confirm what is offered. Many people find remote sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy days, reducing travel time, and making shorter check-ins easier to arrange. Confirming formats ahead of time will ensure sessions fit your schedule and needs.
