About Julie
Julie Duncan is a Minnesota psychologist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, panic attacks, and mood concerns. She also supports those facing grief, relationship strain, addiction, and life changes. Her tone is warm and approachable and she works with people who are new to therapy as well as those with prior experience.
She brings three years of experience in community mental health to each session. Julie blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing. That means sessions focus on listening first, then identifying thoughts and behaviors to change, and using the client’s own motivation to set achievable goals.
In practice she keeps sessions interactive and respectful. People can expect straightforward conversations about what’s happening day to day and practical steps to try between sessions. She pays attention to family of origin issues, caregiver stress, and struggles tied to autism and intellectual disability when relevant to the person in front of her.
Julie has worked with individuals coping with trauma, postpartum depression, bipolar mood shifts, and paranoia. She also addresses intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. Her approach aims to break problems down into manageable pieces and build skills that fit real life.
People who choose Julie typically get a collaborative plan rather than a one-size-fits-all solution. She emphasizes clear goals and small, measurable changes. The focus is on helping clients feel more able to handle panic, anxiety, and other pressing concerns in their daily lives.
How Julie’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist focuses on the person’s own goals and values and follows their lead to shape sessions. This approach can help people feel heard and understood when talking about panic, anxiety, and family struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavior changes between meetings. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, panic attacks, mood difficulties, and stress management.
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and builds their own reasons for taking action. It’s useful when someone feels unsure about making changes around addictive behaviors, caregiving strain, or other life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can be reviewed and adjusted as therapy progresses.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep consistent appointments.
