About Julie
Julie Krupinski is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, mood problems, and relationship or family concerns. Julie writes plainly and focuses on practical ways to manage hard feelings and everyday problems.
She approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and helps them build skills and tools that fit their routine. Sessions mix conversation with structured techniques aimed at reducing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Her work uses proven methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing alongside client-centered and mindfulness-based practices. That combination is intended to help people notice patterns, test small changes, and commit to values-based action. Julie also brings experience with 12-step approaches when that is relevant to addiction issues.
Julie has worked in many settings and with a wide range of concerns over three decades. She is familiar with grief, trauma and end-of-life issues as well as struggles around control, impulsivity, codependency, and self-esteem. Her practice emphasizes clear communication, practical coping strategies, and steady follow-through.
People often seek her when anger or resentment is affecting relationships or work. She focuses on skills for managing strong feelings, repairing communication, and reducing the impact of frustration on daily life.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Julie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that reflect those values. ACT focuses on noticing painful thoughts without letting them dictate behavior and is useful for anger, anxiety, and motivation issues.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that feed distress. CBT supports learning practical skills for managing strong emotions, reducing avoidance, and improving communication. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her approach as well, which means conversations are guided by the client's concerns and goals rather than a fixed agenda.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will work with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as things change. The early sessions typically focus on clear goals and simple, testable steps.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats when you book. The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, shorter check-ins when needed, and avoiding travel time so sessions can be easier to keep. Therapists generally help clients choose a format that matches their daily life and technical comfort level.
