About Julie
Julie Setnan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with eight years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, grief, parenting issues, anger, depression, and compassion fatigue. Julie also focuses on related areas such as codependency, communication problems, family of origin issues, and postpartum depression.
Julie uses straightforward listening and practical conversation to help people sort through what feels overwhelming. She values steady, focused sessions where a person can name problems and try concrete steps to manage them. Her style leans toward clear feedback and collaborative problem-solving rather than jargon or long theoretical talks.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago. That clinical training and her years in practice inform how she structures sessions and sets goals with people. She checks messages during weekdays and generally replies within 24 to 48 hours.
Julie offers weekly sessions and conducts them via video, phone, or live chat during several weekday afternoons. If those options match a person’s schedule, she arranges the first session after a short intake process.
When meeting a new person, Julie starts by clarifying immediate concerns and what the person hopes to change. From there she works with straightforward tools and common-sense steps to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Progress is tracked in simple, practical ways, and adjustments are made as needed.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's priorities. It involves reflecting what someone says, asking clarifying questions, and helping them decide practical next steps. This approach suits people who want a steady, respectful space to sort out feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with manageable alternatives. It is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many stress-related problems because it includes concrete tools and short exercises between sessions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, addresses distress tied to specific traumatic memories by using structured processing techniques. It is often chosen by people who want focused work on traumatic events and the symptoms that follow.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to match methods to their goals and needs. That means trying a method, checking how it feels, and adjusting plans together rather than promising a single fixed path.
Practical benefits of working online include easier fit with weekday routines and the ability to use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. The biography notes sessions are offered by video, phone, or live chat during several weekday afternoons, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep weekly appointments and apply tools learned in real life between meetings.
