About Julie

Julie Tademy-Thorpe is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, evidence-based help for everyday struggles. She listens without judgment and works with clients to set clear, manageable goals. Her style is straightforward and collaborative so people know what to expect from sessions.

Julie holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential - LCSW - and practices in Pennsylvania. She has seven years of clinical experience and additional background across the mental health field. That experience includes work addressing depression, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and parenting challenges.

In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address worries, mood changes, and panic-related symptoms. She helps people learn skills for handling stress, managing intense emotions, and improving daily routines. Sessions also address patterns like attachment concerns, codependency, and control issues when those come up.

Julie supports people facing grief, addiction, identity-related matters, and perinatal mood concerns such as postpartum depression. She also works with clients concerned about ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, and isolation or loneliness. Practical steps and repeated skill practice are common parts of her work.

Her approach is collaborative and tailored. Clients complete a plan together and adjust it over time. The focus is on small, achievable changes that build confidence and calm.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients learn skills and manage symptoms. One common approach focuses on teaching coping and relaxation skills to reduce intense anxiety and panic symptoms; it emphasizes step-by-step practice and breathing or grounding tools to use when moments feel overwhelming. Another approach targets mood and behavior patterns by helping people notice unhelpful thinking and build small routines that support better sleep, activity, and mood regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs. If something isn’t working, they adjust the plan together over time so it stays useful and realistic.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to maintain steady work on skills between visits and bring real-life examples from everyday routines into sessions.
