Julie Rosado , LMHC

Julie Rosado is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who focuses on women's issues and related concerns. She brings a direct, down-to-earth style and uses warmth and humor to help people feel at ease. Many seek her out for help with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, substance concerns, and self-esteem challenges.

She draws on a mix of solution-focused work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical strategies to create practical steps forward. Sessions tend to be interactive and goal-oriented, with attention to communication skills and managing strong emotions. Julie also uses motivational interviewing to help people find the will to change.

Her background includes work in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings and experience supporting people with chemical dependency and dual diagnosis. She is a U.S. Army veteran and has experience with veteran-related issues. Julie also has experience working with LGBTQ+ people, people of color, and individuals living with HIV.

Julie is open about her own long-term experience with depression and anxiety, which she says informs her approach and empathy. She emphasizes practical tools and small, steady steps rather than quick fixes. Her sessions aim to help people gain skills they can use between meetings.

People who choose Julie can expect a conversational, interactive experience. She helps clients set realistic goals and works with them to build coping skills for life changes, parenting stress, grief, chronic illness, and career or purpose questions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Julie often uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT is practical work that can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into smaller steps and practicing new skills.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. DBT strategies are useful when strong emotions or intense reactions make daily life harder, and they focus on managing feelings and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She encourages trying skills in real life and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging allows ongoing written support between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping care consistent.
