About Justine
LCSW-R in New York with 20 years of clinical practice, Justine Gottlieb helps adults and parents with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, and parenting challenges. She uses Motivational Interviewing and psychodynamic approaches to guide conversations and identify practical next steps.
Justine listens to what is happening now and also looks at how earlier patterns shape current problems. She offers straightforward suggestions for coping and change alongside time spent understanding underlying feelings. Sessions tend to blend focused conversations about behaviors with attention to recurring themes from a person’s past.
Many people seek her support for family conflict, communication problems, and issues tied to parenting or fatherhood. She also works with concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, emptiness, and questions about sexuality and women’s issues. Young adult and aging or geriatric topics are included among her areas of focus.
Justine describes her practice as strengths-oriented. That means she helps people notice resources they already have and uses those to make small, doable changes. She also helps people set realistic goals and take concrete steps when motivation is low.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Motivational Interviewing focuses on conversations that increase a person’s own reasons for change. It uses straightforward questions and reflections to clarify goals and boost momentum for steps like parenting changes or managing anxiety.Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to recurring patterns and feelings that come from past experiences. In sessions this looks like linking present struggles to earlier relationships and noticing habits that repeat in current life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will review concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest a mix of techniques. Clients and therapist adjust plans together as needed rather than sticking to one method.
