About Julie
Julie Duncan is a Minnesota psychologist (MN Psychologist LP4663) with three years of experience in community mental health. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and issues around guilt and shame. Julie also supports those facing parenting challenges, grief, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Her sessions are direct and interactive. She listens and uses straightforward questions to help people notice patterns in thinking and behavior. Julie draws on client-centered work to focus on each person’s experience and uses cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and habits.
She has worked with people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse and those managing serious mood concerns. Julie has experience supporting individuals on the autism spectrum and parents of children with autism spectrum disorder. She also helps people dealing with loneliness, caregiver stress, and life transitions.
In a typical session she combines practical skills with open conversation. That might mean tracking anxiety triggers one week and trying a new communication style the next. She aims to help people make small, usable changes rather than overwhelming them with theory.
Julie commonly meets people who are new to therapy as well as those with prior experience. To start, she asks about what’s most pressing, what has helped before, and what goals feel realistic. Scheduling and next steps are handled through the site’s sign-up flow.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says. It helps people feel understood and clarifies what matters to them in therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers concrete exercises to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, mood, and worry. Motivational Interviewing uses open questions and reflective listening to explore a person’s reasons for change and strengthen their own motivation.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to prioritize based on their concerns, goals, and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking how it fits, and adjusting together as needed.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or reduce the need to travel. Many people find these practical benefits help them keep therapy consistent while they work on anxiety, guilt, shame, or relationship issues.
