Julia Lachman, LICSW

Julia Lachman is an LICSW, which stands for Licensed Independent Social Worker, practicing in Massachusetts with 16 years of clinical experience. She primarily works with young adults and focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and structured, aimed at helping people set clear goals and take practical steps toward them.

Trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), she helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts that contribute to overwhelming emotions and supports them in replacing those patterns with more balanced, reality-based thinking. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to encourage action and build momentum toward meaningful change. Julia emphasizes skill-building so people gain greater control over their mood and daily functioning.

In sessions she prioritizes partnership and follow-through. Together with each person she will identify action steps to practice between meetings, and she makes herself available to message between sessions with typical follow-up within 24 hours. Julia brings a hopeful outlook and values continued work outside of sessions as a key element of progress.

Julia does not specialize in treating substance misuse or suicidal thoughts; she encourages anyone with those concerns to connect with a provider who has specific expertise in those areas. Her training also typically does not align with brief employee assistance program experiences, and she does not provide court-ordered therapy. She provides services in English and is not currently accepting new clients.
