About Julie

Julie Presler is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, panic attacks, and addiction concerns. She meets people where they are and listens without judgment. Julie aims to help clients build practical coping skills and move toward clearer goals in daily life.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Julie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and she works with clients to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small changes in behavior. She brings a human perspective to sessions and sometimes uses light humor to make difficult topics easier to handle.

Julie draws on eight years of clinical experience helping people with depression, mood disorders, impulsivity, and challenges like substance use and codependency. She has supported people who feel stuck after life changes or who struggle with racing thoughts and avoidance. Her work also covers issues such as communication problems, family stress, guilt, and feelings of emptiness.

In sessions she focuses on practical steps: naming patterns, setting small goals, and practicing strategies between meetings. Julie encourages honest conversation and collaborative planning so people can try what feels most useful. She frames therapy as a process of discovery and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Those who reach out can expect a calm, down-to-earth style that balances skill-building with empathy. Julie wants clients to leave sessions with clearer next steps and tools they can use in everyday life.

Practical approaches for online anxiety and panic support

Julie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts, teaches coping strategies, and gives clear skills to try between meetings. It is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie aims to collaborate with each person to choose strategies that fit their goals and daily life. She will check in and adjust methods based on what helps most over time.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find they can practice CBT skills in their own routines, which helps carry progress into day-to-day moments. If you want to explore how this could work, ask about available formats when you schedule.
