Getting to know Julie Stefan

My name is Julie Stefan, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Orange County, CA, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master's in Social Work from California State University, Long Beach. I work with adults, specializing in individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, or depression related to chronic illness or recovery from traumatic injury or health conditions. Using an eclectic, supportive approach, I aim to help my clients feel cared for and improve their current mood. My approach to therapy varies based on each client's needs. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques to provide support and help you achieve your goals. I have found that my style and professional experience are a good fit for those dealing with chronic illness, traumatic injury, or medical conditions, as well as those navigating life transitions and experiencing depression or anxiety. I work to help clients process their injury or medical condition and build skills to reintegrate successfully into their lives. My communication style is calm and supportive. I want my clients to feel comfortable sharing their experiences and feelings about their current life circumstances. I strive to create a supportive, judgment-free environment. I decided to become a social worker because I enjoy helping people in various contexts. With nearly 20 years of experience in medical settings, I transitioned to individual therapy to provide assistance and support in a more intimate setting. I find fulfillment in seeing people progress through difficult times and discover their strength throughout their journey. My approach to goal setting is collaborative, focusing on clarifying what you want to accomplish during our time together. This often begins by building trust between us. Over time, we will work together to set goals and discuss your progress.
