About Julie
LCSW in Pennsylvania with 22 years of experience, Julie Schindhelm focuses on relationship and family concerns, stress, trauma, anxiety, and related issues. She works with adults and adolescents to clarify problems, reduce stress, and make practical decisions about relationships and parenting. Julie uses a blend of approaches to match what each person needs.
Julie draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She uses elements of the Gottman Method when addressing relationship problems, and she teaches stress tolerance and emotion regulation skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These methods are described to clients in clear, actionable terms so they can practice between sessions.
Her experience includes work in marriage and family therapy settings and trauma-informed care. That background shapes how she looks at family dynamics and how past events affect current functioning. She aims to help clients identify small, manageable steps that move them toward clearer thinking and steadier relationships.
Sessions typically cover problem solving, coping strategies, and communication skills. Julie helps parents think through how to support their children and how to set boundaries when needed. She also addresses issues such as grief, fertility concerns, and work-related stress.
People who choose Julie will find straightforward conversations about goals and methods. She and the client build a plan and track progress. To begin, clients use a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. It is useful for life changes, stress, and ongoing anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving stress tolerance; it can be taught in short, focused lessons and practiced between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will review goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend strategies to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is reviewed in follow-up sessions.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. They also let a person try skill practice in real-life settings and bring those experiences back to the next session for discussion.
