Julie Clark

Julie Clark, LPC, brings twenty years of counseling experience to her work. She aims to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, designed for people who want clear steps forward rather than long talks without direction.

Julie focuses on what people can do now to feel steadier and more in control. She uses methods that teach skills for managing emotions, improving relationships, and making career or life changes. Sessions emphasize real strategies people can try between meetings.

Her background includes founding Collective Impact Services, LLC, where she serves as Director of Services while providing therapy and rehabilitation counseling. She has experience with vocational guidance, placement, and working with people who have physical or mental disabilities. That work informs a problem-solving style that connects daily challenges to practical resources.

Julie works with a wide range of concerns including addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and LGBT issues. She also has experience supporting people who are visually impaired and helps them navigate relevant services and supports.

In the therapy room she aims to create a trusting, emotionally safe space. She combines client-centered listening with goal-focused tools so people leave sessions with concrete next steps. People who want coaching-style direction alongside counseling may find her approach fits their needs.

How Julie’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-centered therapy starts by listening to what matters most to the person. The therapist helps clients name goals and supports them at their own pace, which suits people who want respect for their experience and steady progress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It breaks problems into small, manageable steps and teaches practical skills for mood, anxiety, and anger management.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers emotion regulation and distress-tolerance techniques. It is useful when strong emotions feel overwhelming and when learning new coping skills is a priority.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked, so the plan can shift if something isn’t working.

For online therapy logistics, confirm the session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time for appointments. Licensed professionals can use these formats to help people practice skills between sessions and stay consistent with their work.
