Juelle Washington, LMHC

Juelle Washington is a licensed mental health counselor who practices in New York. She brings five years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports people as they cope with major life changes and shifts in motivation.

She approaches therapy with the view that each person knows their story best. She helps clients notice strengths they already have and use those strengths to face difficult moments. Sessions are collaborative and focused on practical steps that fit into everyday life.

Juelle uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment work, and client-centered conversations to help people change unhelpful thinking and act on what matters to them. She also draws on narrative and solution-focused ideas to help people reframe experiences and build small, achievable goals.

Her style is straightforward and respectful, aimed at making therapy feel understandable and useful. People who want clear strategies and a supportive listener tend to find this approach helpful. Juelle encourages taking manageable steps toward better coping and greater clarity.

She works with concerns including abandonment and attachment issues, communication struggles, fatherhood and family-related problems, jealousy, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose questions, multicultural stress, post-traumatic stress, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination. Sessions are offered in English and conducted from her New York practice.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts that contribute to anxiety or low mood. In sessions this looks like identifying patterns, testing new ways of thinking, and trying small behavior changes between meetings to see what helps.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that match those values even when difficult feelings are present. This approach can help with grief, life transitions, and persistent worry by building acceptance and practical steps toward meaningful goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques from CBT, ACT, or client-centered conversation as needed. Decisions are made together so the plan fits the client's life and strengths.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and work through exercises in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and texting suit shorter reflections, written check-ins, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options help clients fit therapy into work, family time, or busy days while keeping the focus on practical change.
