Julie Presler, LMHC

Julie Presler is a licensed mental health counselor in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She uses a straightforward, warm approach and aims to make hard conversations feel manageable. Julie speaks English and brings eight years of professional experience to her work.

She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Julie listens without judgment and works with each person to set clear goals. She often introduces coping skills that can reduce racing thoughts and improve day-to-day functioning.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is part of her approach. That means she and the client look at patterns of thinking and behavior and try new ways of responding. This method can be helpful for anxiety, panic, mood problems, and unhealthy coping habits.

Julie also addresses issues like codependency, communication problems, family stress, guilt, impulsivity, and feelings of emptiness. She pays attention to how past trauma or life transitions affect present choices and mood.

Her style is conversational and sometimes lightened with gentle humor. Sessions focus on identifying problems, practicing skills, and making step-by-step plans. The goal is clearer thinking, better coping, and more forward movement in everyday life.

How Julie Uses CBT Online

Julie incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts so someone can practice changes between sessions, which helps with anxiety, panic, low mood, and habits like substance use.

Her online work centers on collaboration. She will help clients choose approaches that match their goals and preferences. Together they review what’s working, make adjustments, and set small, achievable steps to practice between meetings.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging gives practical flexibility. Video lets people read facial cues and do more in-depth work. Phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework support, and ongoing encouragement. These options make it easier to keep therapy steady while juggling daily life.
