About Julia
LMFT licensed in California, New Jersey, and Texas with 15 years of clinical experience, Julia Szpakiewicz focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, and coping with life changes. Julia works with adults who want clear, practical ways to manage difficult feelings and improve how they relate to others. Sessions are direct and collaborative. She treats the person, not just the problem.
Julia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people identify unhelpful patterns and build skills that fit daily life. She pays attention to attachment and communication patterns that affect relationships. Work on body image and eating issues emphasizes concrete steps toward healthier routines and self-awareness.
Her approach includes addressing guilt, shame, and post-traumatic stress in ways that prioritize safety and pacing. Julia breaks complex problems into manageable pieces so progress is measurable. She helps clients rehearse new behaviors and track what changes between sessions.
Julia draws on 15 years of practice in multiple states to bring a range of clinical experience to each case. That background supports flexible problem-solving rather than a single method for every person. She encourages straightforward conversations about goals and next steps.
People who want focused, skill-based work will find the sessions practical and goal-oriented. Julia asks about what a better day would look like and then helps plan steps to get there. The emphasis is on doing work that fits the client’s life and responsibilities.

How evidence-based approaches are used in remote care
Julia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on observable change and practical skill-building. One common approach she uses helps people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Another area of focus is attachment-informed work that looks at how early relationship patterns shape current communication and relationship struggles, useful for improving trust and connection. These methods aim to teach specific skills and new ways of responding to stress and relationship triggers.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, symptoms, and life demands together, then try methods that fit the client’s priorities. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what is helping and what feels manageable.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking as the profile does not list formats. In general, remote work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick follow-up is needed. Phone or video options can be chosen for reasons like reduced bandwidth needs or preferring not to be on camera, but please verify which of these options the therapist currently offers before scheduling.
