About Julie
Julie Clark is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship concerns, and issues related to identity and sexuality. Julie also works with parenting challenges, grief, addiction, ADHD, and career transitions.
She founded Collective Impact Services, LLC in 2015 and directs its services while providing therapy and supervision. Her background includes rehabilitation counseling and vocational guidance for people with physical and mental disabilities. That experience shapes a practical approach to everyday problems and to rebuilding routines after loss or change.
In sessions she uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior strategies. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are tools she draws on to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and track what works. Conversations tend to focus on actionable steps rather than theory.
Julie aims to help people understand what drives their reactions and to build skills for handling frustration, resentment, and outbursts. She also supports those living with others who struggle with anger. Her style is structured and problem-focused, while still allowing space to talk about feelings and history.
She has developed community partnerships and programs that connect clients with vocational and rehabilitation resources. She offers supervision for counselors working toward licensure and provides referrals and networking for people seeking broader supports.
Sessions are conducted in English and her practice is located in Michigan. Julie works with adults across a range of life stages and common mental health concerns, including those who are visually impaired.
How therapeutic methods translate to online work
Julie commonly blends client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in online conversations. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can choose their next steps. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small experiments that reduce reactivity and improve mood. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Julie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit those aims. The plan can change over time based on what helps most, and decisions are made together in session.
The original biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use video or audio according to comfort and bandwidth. Licensed professionals can adapt skills practice, mindfulness exercises, and behavioral planning to an online setting so the work fits everyday life.
