Julie Schehr, LCSW

Julie Schehr is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience in New Jersey. She brings a warm, engaging presence to sessions and aims to build a practical working relationship with each person she sees.

Julie focuses on helping people through life changes and transitions. That can include breakups, graduating college, or changing jobs. She also draws on a long background on the medical side to support people facing a medical diagnosis or helping a loved one cope.

Her primary way of working is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT. Julie often uses short-term work to teach tools and strategies people can use on their own. The goal is to manage stressors and move forward without ongoing therapy.

She believes every situation is different and listens for the unique details of each story. Sessions focus on the goals the person brings and on skills that fit their daily life.

Julie aims to create a comfortable, team-like relationship in the room. She supports people who want concrete strategies for anxiety, stress, grief, depression, sleep problems, self-esteem, career concerns and related issues, including aging and geriatric issues when they are relevant.

People who choose to work with her typically look for straightforward tools and real-world solutions to everyday challenges. She helps set clear goals and practices steps that can be used outside of sessions.

How CBT and online work can fit into life

Julie primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. CBT helps people spot unhelpful patterns, test new ways of thinking, and practice small changes that reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.

She often focuses short-term work on teaching concrete skills you can use between sessions. That approach is useful for coping with life transitions, sleep problems, grief, caregiver stress, and concerns that come with aging and geriatric issues.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Julie will talk with each person about their goals, daily routines, and what feels realistic. Together they decide whether CBT techniques, a short skills plan, or another path fits best for the individual.

If you want online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit care into a busy week, makes it easier to keep regular appointments, and reduces travel time. Online work can also let sessions focus on concrete homework, quick check-ins, or skill practice that fits into everyday life.
