Dr. Jacqueline Julien

Dr. Jacqueline Julien focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She also supports those facing parenting strain, relationship and family challenges, grief, career concerns, and issues with self‑esteem or addictions. Dr. Julien is a Minnesota Psychologist (MN Psychologist LP4865) with seven years of experience as a practicing clinician. She takes a collaborative, down‑to‑earth approach in sessions. People are invited to take an active role in setting goals and trying practical steps between appointments. Humor and straightforward feedback are part of her style when appropriate, kept warm rather than confronting. Her work draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness, narrative methods, and motivational interviewing mixed with a client‑centered foundation. That means she helps clients notice how thoughts, feelings, and behavior interact, name what matters most, and test small changes that move toward those values. Dr. Julien emphasizes building on existing strengths. She looks for things a person already does well and helps them use those skills more often. Sessions focus on clear, workable plans rather than abstract theory. She has worked in varied settings earlier in her career and has also taught university psychology courses. Before scheduling, confirm the current session options and times since daytime appointments are noted in her background.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, consistent steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. Client‑Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client’s lead so the person sets the pace and focus of sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and awareness skills to reduce reactivity and manage stress in everyday moments. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick or blend methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting as they go. Confirm the current session options before booking since specific online formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. It can also be useful for practicing mindfulness and ACT exercises between meetings and for keeping momentum when life feels hectic.
