Julie Schehr , LCSW

Julie Schehr is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with 25 years of professional experience. She brings a warm, engaging presence and is usually able to connect with most people, offering steady support through challenging moments.

Her clinical focus centers on helping individuals navigate life changes and transitions, such as break-ups, graduating college, or changing jobs. With an extensive background working on the medical side, she is also comfortable supporting those facing a medical diagnosis as well as their loved ones and caregivers.

Julie primarily uses the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) model and typically provides short-term, skills-focused therapy designed to teach practical strategies and tools for managing stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, low self-esteem, and other common concerns. The goal of this approach is to equip people to handle life stressors more effectively so ongoing therapy is no longer necessary.

Believing that no two experiences are the same, she listens for each person’s unique story and centers treatment on the goals clients set. She emphasizes collaboration, support, and empowerment as clients take steps toward change. Julie is not accepting clients at this time.

CBT and Short-Term Therapy for Online Care

Julie Schehr primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, sleep problems, and challenges related to life transitions, offering clear strategies to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also emphasizes short-term, skills-focused therapy that concentrates on teaching tools clients can use right away. This approach aims to produce measurable progress in a limited number of sessions by targeting specific goals and building coping techniques that fit everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Julie works collaboratively with clients to determine what will best meet their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they tailor the plan and adjust methods as progress is made.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access care from home or elsewhere. These formats offer flexibility and accessibility, allowing licensed professionals and therapists to support clients through a range of concerns and life stages.
