Julie Krupinski , LCSW

Many people wait until their struggles feel overwhelming before seeking help, and Julie Krupinski honors the courage it takes to reach out. She approaches each person with respect for their own expertise about their life, aiming to build on existing strengths and resilience while introducing practical tools for healthier living.

Julie uses evidence-based practices delivered within a warm, non-judgmental relationship that she and the client create together. Her work is interactive, validating, and focused on empowerment, supporting clients through stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and family concerns, and a range of mood and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses related challenges such as codependency, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and end-of-life counseling.

She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a New Jersey license, and brings significant experience across multiple settings and diverse populations. Julie is well versed in 12-step approaches and integrates those perspectives when appropriate to a client’s goals. She views therapy as a collaborative process and would be honored to support individuals as they develop new skills, rebuild self-compassion, and pursue meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Julie draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online work. ACT helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility - it is often useful for managing anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, validation, and the client’s own goals, creating a supportive environment for exploring relationships, self-esteem, and grief. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to mood and coping difficulties and teaching concrete skills to change those patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Julie collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration helps tailor sessions to what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy with Julie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life and to receive consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of location.
