Julie Fahlmann, LCSW

Julie Fahlmann is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem difficulties, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. She brings a focused, collaborative style to therapy, combining approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor treatment to each person’s strengths and goals.

With three years of clinical experience, she emphasizes building a trusting therapeutic relationship and practical skills that apply to daily life. Julie prioritizes assessment and goal-setting together with clients, exploring risk and protective factors while creating realistic, achievable plans. Her work often addresses patterns that contribute to substance use, mood and anxiety symptoms, relationship conflict, and the lasting effects of trauma and loss.

Sessions are offered in formats that fit varied schedules, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose what feels most accessible. Julie approaches care with empathy and a focus on collaboration, helping people identify what they want to change and supporting them with evidence-informed techniques and practical steps toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Julie Fahlmann integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) alongside Client-Centered Therapy to address a range of concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, and to support coping with addiction or mood shifts. DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive or self-destructive behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps the person explore their own values and goals.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The aim is to match methods to the client’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day life.

Online therapy formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, manage appointments around work or caregiving, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
