About Julie
Julie Krupinski greets people who are worn out, overwhelmed, or facing hard life changes. She speaks plainly and listens closely so parents and individuals can talk through stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, or shifts in mood. Julie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW - who brings 30 years of experience to each conversation.
She centers sessions on the person in front of her, not a label. Conversations are respectful and non-judgmental.
Background and approach
Julie helps people identify strengths, build coping tools, and try new ways of handling old patterns. Her work draws on practical methods like cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness skills. She also uses acceptance-based ideas and motivational interviewing to support change.
Sessions often focus on small steps that feel possible in daily life. Julie has worked in many settings across New Jersey and is familiar with recovery pathways such as 12-step programs. That background helps when people are dealing with drug or alcohol concerns, codependency, or family of origin struggles.
People come to her for a range of concerns including relationship tensions, intimacy-related struggles, compassion fatigue, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and questions about life purpose. Her style is validating and interactive, aiming to empower clients to make choices that fit their values. Julie aims to work collaboratively so clients leave with clearer options and manageable next steps.
She values the trust people place in her and treats each meeting as part of an ongoing, real-world effort to feel better.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Julie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms, which works well for anxiety, depression, and anger. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice difficult feelings, clarify what matters most, and take committed steps toward those values. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a non-judgmental listening stance so people feel heard and can develop their own solutions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods as needed over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or fit into a work break, live chat suits people who prefer typed exchanges, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and to practice new skills in everyday life.
