About Julie
Julie Clark is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction concerns, grief, and questions about identity. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, parenting challenges, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Julie is experienced working with issues related to intimacy and trauma and offers help to visually impaired clients as well.
Julie has worked in counseling for 20 years. She founded Collective Impact Services in 2015 to broaden access to support and to build community partnerships. Her work blends practical problem solving with attention to each person’s values and goals. Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings as well as on understanding what matters most to them.
Her approach draws on Motivational Interviewing alongside client-centered listening and tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based methods. She also uses strategies from dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation and coping skills are primary goals. Julie aims to match methods to the person rather than applying a single fixed style.
Julie also offers vocational and rehabilitation counseling services, including guidance on employment and career planning, and she connects people to community resources. She emphasizes collaboration with local partners and creating programs that meet real needs.
People who choose Julie can expect straightforward goals, practical homework, and a calm, supportive space to talk through hard decisions and life transitions.

Using motivation and practical skills in online therapy
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they really want to change and find their own reasons to move forward. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation and reduce resistance, which can be useful for addiction, lifestyle changes, or when someone feels stuck.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and accepting people where they are. This approach helps people feel heard and understood while they sort through emotions and decisions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It offers concrete tools for shifting unhelpful thinking and practicing new behaviors, often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress issues.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps shape which tools and strategies are used over time.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. Online work can make follow-up quicker and it can be easier to keep regular appointments without travel time.
