Julia Lachman, LICSW

Julia Lachman is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts with 16 years of clinical experience supporting primarily young adults through stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She combines structured, collaborative care with practical skill-building to address concerns such as low self-esteem, motivation, panic attacks, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose. Julia applies evidence-informed methods to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, practice manageable behavioral changes, and build confidence for day-to-day challenges.

Trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), she helps clients recognize negative or distorted thoughts and replace them with more balanced, realistic beliefs to reduce overwhelming emotions and improve mood over time. She also integrates Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change and Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete, achievable steps toward goals. Between sessions, Julia typically follows up within 24 hours when clients message and encourages small, actionable steps to maintain progress between meetings.

Julia does not specialize in treating substance misuse or suicidal ideation and does not provide court-ordered services. Her training generally does not align with short-term employee assistance program (EAP) arrangements. She is not accepting new clients and does not work with international clients.
