About Julie
Julie Yliniemi is a Minnesota licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with ten years of experience.

Julie aims to make getting help feel straightforward and practical for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

How Julie works
Conversations are direct but compassionate, focused on what helps in daily life. Julie often addresses issues connected to chronic pain, illness, and disability, as well as workplace strain and life purpose. She also supports people facing control struggles, guilt and shame, impulsivity, divorce or separation, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and post-traumatic stress.
Sessions aim to connect present concerns with practical steps forward. Clients can expect collaborative planning and steady encouragement rather than quick fixes. Julie emphasizes building confidence and motivation while respecting each person’s pace.
She helps people develop clearer choices and more reliable ways to cope with stress. Her Minnesota licensure and decade of practice shape a grounded, experienced perspective. The tone in sessions is warm and straightforward, with attention to realistic strategies that fit everyday life.

Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional healing. One common approach is problem-focused work that helps people identify patterns that keep stress and anxiety active, then try specific steps to interrupt them. This kind of work is useful for managing day-to-day worry and building steady routines.Another approach emphasizes processing trauma in ways that reduce its hold on daily life. This involves careful pacing, skills to manage strong emotions, and reviewing how past events connect with current reactions. It can be helpful for post-traumatic stress, trauma and abuse, and related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Julie works collaboratively with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress or new concerns arise.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when that feels useful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people share updates between sessions and fit support into busy days.
