Julie Mcmonagle

Julie Mcmonagle is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people face stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She works with people dealing with life changes, trauma and abuse, and eating or food-related concerns. Julie emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care as she listens and responds to each person's needs.

Julie keeps sessions focused on practical goals. She helps clients talk through what is getting in the way, learn ways to manage strong feelings, and build small habits that make daily life easier. Conversations cover coping skills, motivation, and strategies to strengthen confidence over time.

Her approach centers on the client, so Julie follows the pace and priorities set by the person in the room. She partners with clients to develop a plan that fits their situation and goals. That plan may include ways to handle anger, manage grief, reduce anxiety, or address eating concerns.

Julie aims to make the first steps less overwhelming. She acknowledges how hard it can feel to reach out and supports people as they try new ways of coping. Her style is straightforward, warm, and goal-oriented, with attention to each client's unique history and strengths.

Julie is licensed in Minnesota as an LICSW and can work with people who prefer sessions in English. People interested in working together begin with a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule appointments based on availability.

How client-centered work translates to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on being present with the person and following their lead. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the person set goals that matter to them. This approach is useful for issues like anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem, and coping with change because it centers the client's priorities.

Julie pairs that listening-based stance with practical problem solving. She helps people identify patterns that cause distress and tries small changes that can reduce overwhelming feelings. Together they review what works and adjust the plan over time, keeping the client's comfort and preferences in mind.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. She treats the choice of methods as collaborative and adjusts strategies based on feedback and progress.
