About Julie

Julie Duncan is a licensed psychologist practicing in Minnesota who focuses on an array of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, and bipolar disorder.

Background and approach

With three years of clinical experience in community mental health, she has supported people navigating panic, paranoia, postpartum depression, and intimacy-related issues as well as those coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and isolation. Her background also includes work with individuals on the autism spectrum and people caring for loved ones with intellectual or developmental differences.

Her therapeutic manner is warm, interactive, and respectful, blending cognitive behavioral strategies with client-centered principles and motivational interviewing techniques. Julie emphasizes collaboration, meeting each person where they are and tailoring interventions to their unique situation.

She welcomes clients who are new to therapy as well as those with prior experience, and she frames the work as a cooperative process to identify practical tools and clearer direction.

How Julie Uses Evidence-Informed Approaches Online

Julie uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and address panic or compulsive behaviors. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps clients explore their own goals and values in a nonjudgmental way.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Julie will work together with each person to determine which strategies fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day circumstances, and she adapts techniques over time based on what is most helpful for the client.

The online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to stay connected from different locations within Minnesota. These options support flexibility in how and when sessions occur while allowing licensed professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic guidance and practical tools.
