Juelle Washington , LMHC

Juelle Washington is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York. She has five years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She meets each person where they are and focuses on practical steps toward feeling better. Her style is direct and respectful. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and builds on existing strengths. Sessions emphasize clear goals, small changes, and everyday tools that fit into busy routines. Juelle uses a mix of approaches to match what a person needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take action, and client-centered methods to create a listening space free of judgment. People often come for life transitions, work and identity stresses, or recurring feelings of emptiness and isolation. She also addresses attachment and relationship patterns, issues around commitment and jealousy, and the emotional fallout from prejudice or multicultural stressors. Her work includes short-term problem solving and longer conversations about meaning and purpose. She helps people process grief and loss, repair self-worth, and find ways to cope when life changes feel overwhelming.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters and take meaningful steps despite difficult feelings; online ACT sessions often focus on values-based exercises and small behavior changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, and works well online through thought records, activity scheduling, and in-session skill practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, allowing a person to lead the conversation while the therapist reflects and supports their process.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Over a few sessions they adjust the plan so it feels practical and relevant to daily life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which add flexibility for different schedules. Video is useful for interactive skill practice and face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, problem-focused exchanges, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
