About Julie
Julie Duncan is a Minnesota Psychologist (MN Psychologist LP4663) with three years of experience in community mental health. She helps people who are coping with anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, stress, grief, trauma and abuse, and mood problems. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical steps people can try between meetings.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered methods and motivational interviewing. That means she will help a person notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, try different responses, and talk through what works. Conversations are interactive and goal-focused rather than purely reflective.
Julie has worked with people who have autism and Asperger syndrome and with those parenting children on the autism spectrum. Her caseload has also included individuals dealing with bipolar disorder, postpartum depression, panic attacks, and concerns related to addiction or compassion fatigue. She is familiar with family of origin issues, communication problems, and feelings of isolation or shame.
In sessions she breaks issues into small, manageable steps. A typical meeting may include reviewing recent situations, identifying thinking patterns, and practicing simple coping strategies or communication techniques. Homework or short experiments between sessions is common to test what helps.
People new to therapy and those with prior experience are both welcomed. To start, she asks clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session to set goals and plan a practical path forward.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Julie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT sessions focus on specific problems, practical strategies, and short exercises to try between meetings. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and building a collaborative conversation that helps a person clarify goals and values. Motivational interviewing supports change when someone feels stuck or unsure, using guided questions to strengthen commitment and explore ambivalence.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods together over time. That collaborative planning guides whether sessions focus more on behavior experiments, values-based planning, or motivational work.
