About Julie
Julie Duncan is a licensed psychologist in Minnesota who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and relationship strain. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, bipolar mood shifts, and compassion fatigue. Julie works with people who are new to therapy as well as those with previous experience.
Her style is warm and interactive. She treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while talking through practical steps for daily life. Sessions focus on what matters to each person and on making small changes that can add up over time.
Julie blends cognitive behavioral techniques with a client-centered, humanistic approach. That means she helps people notice and test unhelpful thinking patterns while also listening closely to their goals and values. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs support finding internal reasons to change difficult habits.
She has worked in community mental health for three years, gaining experience with a wide range of concerns. This includes supporting people on the autism spectrum and parents of children with autism spectrum disorder when parenting stress is part of the picture.
Julie aims to build a collaborative relationship so people feel heard and can try out practical tools between sessions. Her work emphasizes clear goals, small experiments, and steady progress toward better coping. If those priorities fit, she invites people to begin by completing the brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.
How her approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, respect, and working from the client’s values to set goals and shape sessions. This approach helps when someone needs empathy and space to clarify what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It involves noticing unhelpful thinking, testing new ideas, and practicing small behavior changes. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related concerns.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who are unsure about change. It uses focused conversation to help someone find their own reasons to try different behaviors, which can be helpful with addictions, caregiving stress, and other situations that require shifting habits.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try approaches that fit those needs. That process is collaborative and may adapt over time as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, enable shorter check-ins during a work break, or remove the need to be on camera when that helps someone engage. Licensed professionals can use these practical advantages to focus on skills, coping strategies, and steady progress without promising a particular service.
