    About Justine

    Justine Gottlieb is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-R) based in New York. She brings 20 years of experience helping people navigate depression, anxiety, parenting strain, and relationship difficulties. She uses a strengths-based, wellness-oriented approach and listens closely to each person's concerns.

    Her sessions focus on practical coping and clearer understanding. She combines Motivational Interviewing with psychodynamic ideas to help people find motivation and understand patterns that keep them stuck. The work includes straightforward suggestions and chances to try new behaviors between meetings.

    Justine often helps with grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, anger, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those facing life transitions, communication problems, fatherhood questions, aging and geriatric issues, and concerns tied to family of origin. Her practice pays attention to how past relationships shape present choices.

    Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then offers observations and practical tools that fit daily life. Sessions are focused on small, doable steps as well as deeper reflection when that feels useful.

    People who want an empathetic, experienced clinician will find a blend of encouragement and honest feedback. She aims to help clients feel steadier and more able to make decisions that match their values.

  2. How Motivational Interviewing and Psychodynamic Work Online

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation for steps like improving relationships or managing health behaviors. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and patterns influence current feelings and choices, often helping people spot repeated ways of reacting.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Justine will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and personality. Sessions are collaborative - she listens, suggests options, and checks in about what feels useful as therapy progresses.

    The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet from a familiar setting. Many find that focusing on motivation and recurring patterns translates well to remote sessions, while practical exercises and between-session tasks help progress between meetings.
