Julie Schehr, LCSW

Julie Schehr is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of professional experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She brings a warm, engaging style and aims to create a comfortable space where people can share their stories and work toward concrete goals. Julie specializes in transitions such as breakups, job changes, and college graduation, and she also draws on extensive experience on the medical side to support people facing a medical diagnosis or to assist their loved ones in coping.

Julie primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - delivering mostly short-term, skills-focused therapy designed to teach strategies and tools for managing life stressors. The intent of her approach is practical: to equip clients with techniques they can use independently so ongoing therapy is no longer necessary. She emphasizes that each person’s experience is unique and focuses treatment on the goals clients set.

Julie works collaboratively with clients to identify priorities, build coping skills, and foster self empowerment. Her background includes work with issues across the lifespan, including aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, cancer and hospice support, relationship transitions, and challenges common to women and young adults. She practices in New Jersey and provides care in English.
