About Julie

Julie Tamisiea is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, and other life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and problem solving rather than labels or judgment.

She draws on client-centered work to listen and build on each person’s strengths. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness tools are included when they fit the situation. Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure about change.

Julie aims to help people break patterns that cause recurring anger or resentment. That can include learning how to notice early warning signs, practicing short de-escalation strategies, and changing responses at work or at home. She also supports coping with grief, trauma, and addiction-related issues that often sit alongside anger.

Her approach is practical and straightforward. Clients can expect goal-oriented conversations, skill practice, and check-ins on what changes are working. She partners with clients to set clear, achievable steps between sessions.

Julie’s background includes long-term clinical practice in community and counseling settings in North Carolina. Her experience covers a wide range of concerns, from mood and anxiety disorders to life transitions and caregiver stress. She offers services in English and does not work with international clients.

How her approaches translate to online work

Julie commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in session. Client-centered work means the therapist listens carefully and builds from the client’s existing strengths to set goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting thought patterns that fuel anger and testing small behavioral changes to reduce reactivity.

She also uses DBT skills when emotional regulation or intense reactions are present. DBT techniques teach short, repeatable skills for calming down, tolerating distress, and communicating more effectively during conflicts. These skills can be practiced in session and applied between appointments to see what helps.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative step. The therapist will talk with the client about current problems, past attempts to change, and what feels manageable. Together they pick methods and goals, then adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available online formats before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow brief check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Discussing which format suits your schedule and energy level is part of the first meeting.
