Julie Setnan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1995. She practices in Illinois and is licensed to provide clinical social work services in the state (LCSW, license number 149.022632).
Julie is known for being a good listener and for bringing an optimistic outlook, compassion, and kindness into her work. In addition to her formal training and licensure, she draws on a lifetime of experience and practical wisdom that inform her approach with clients.
As a committed lifelong learner, Julie recognizes the courage it takes to begin introspective work and she values the opportunity to create a safe space for processing difficult issues. She applauds the bravery it takes to reach out and considers it a privilege to support people through their challenges.
Julie has wanted to be a therapist for as long as she can remember and looks forward to the progress clients can make while working together. She checks messages periodically during weekdays and typically responds within 24 to 48 hours. She offers weekly sessions by video, phone, or live chat during several weekday afternoons, and looks forward to the opportunity to work with clients whose needs and schedules align with those times.
Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the format that feels most comfortable, whether that is a video call, a phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity of care.
Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists at any time if they want a different fit. For many people, the convenience and accessibility of online therapy make it a practical and effective choice for addressing everyday mental health needs.
