About Julie
Julie Tademy-Thorpe is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania. She brings seven years of clinical experience helping people navigate depression, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and trauma-related concerns. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, aimed at practical change rather than jargon.
Julie focuses on clear goals and usable strategies. She talks with clients about what’s most urgent and builds a plan that fits daily life. Sessions cover mood concerns, stress, grief, ADHD-related struggles, addiction worries, and intimacy or self-esteem issues.
Background and approach
She pays particular attention to patterns that affect relationships and parenting. That can mean addressing attachment and abandonment worries, blended family dynamics, or caregiver burnout. Julie also works with people facing multicultural concerns and neurodiversity issues such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s situation. She centers respect, sensitivity, and honest conversation in every session. The work is collaborative - clients help shape the goals and pace.
If you are weighing a first step, Julie aims to support and empower you through the process. Her approach is practical, with tools you can try between sessions. She speaks English and practices in Pennsylvania as an LCSW.

Evidence-based approaches and online options
Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in plain, practical ways. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with clearer, more workable habits. That method can help with depression, anxiety, and stress by giving concrete steps to try between sessions.Another approach she uses looks at relationship and attachment patterns to understand how past hurts affect present interactions. This helps people who struggle with intimacy, abandonment fears, or recurring conflict to notice patterns and practice different responses.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie works with clients to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they set goals, try interventions, and adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, homework discussion, or when a shorter touchpoint is needed. These formats make it easier to maintain momentum and fit therapy into a busy parenting life.
