About Julie

Julie Duncan is a MN Psychologist (LP4663) with three years of experience in community mental health. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. She also lists life purpose among her focus areas.

Julie helps people talk through changes in work, relationships, or health that leave them unsure what comes next. Sessions usually involve direct conversation about what is most troubling in day-to-day life. She uses clear questions and reflective listening to help people sort priorities and make small, practical shifts.

Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. That means she listens for a person’s values and goals, looks at unhelpful thinking or behavior patterns, and uses motivational strategies to support movement toward realistic steps. The work tends to focus on present problems and concrete coping tools.

Clients who are new to therapy often find the pace accessible. Julie has experience with people on the autism spectrum and with caregivers facing stress. She also has clinical experience supporting people after physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Julie practices in Minnesota and conducts sessions in English. People choosing a first appointment complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session to see how the approach fits their situation.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can clarify what matters to them; it is useful when someone feels stuck and needs to sort values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems in place and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, mood shifts, or panic. Motivational Interviewing uses focused conversation to increase a person’s readiness to change, which can help with addictions, procrastination, or making life changes.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that match those goals, and check in about what is helping. This collaborative stance means techniques can be adjusted over time rather than fixed from the start.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. They also make it possible to continue regular appointments during workday changes or when home routines shift. A first session and the initial questionnaire are used to determine a good match between the person’s needs and the way sessions are offered.
