About Julie
Julie Setnan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life transitions. She meets each person where they are and listens first to understand what matters most to them. Julie works in English and practices from Illinois.
Julie draws on eight years of professional practice and a long personal interest in helping others. She values clear, practical conversations and focuses on real steps that people can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Julie often uses approaches that help people change unhelpful thinking, deepen emotional understanding, and process painful memories. In sessions she keeps the pace steady and the language plain. Clients can expect calm attention, thoughtful questions, and collaborative planning.
She aims to help people build coping skills for grief, parenting stress, relationship conflict, and compassion fatigue. Julie offers several ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She checks messages during the week and typically replies within 24 to 48 hours.
Weekly appointments are available on weekday afternoons. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their routine. Julie emphasizes working together to decide which strategies and approaches feel most useful for each person.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and the client setting the pace; it helps people feel heard and clarifies their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and teaching practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people name and work through strong emotions to improve connection and emotional understanding.Picking the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people send notes or brief updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep working when in-person visits are not convenient.
