About Julie
Julie Yliniemi is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota with 10 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. Julie aims to make the first steps toward change easier and more manageable for each person who reaches out.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through painful experiences. That includes relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and feelings of guilt or shame.
Background and approach
Julie also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness, and disability, and those working through separation and life transitions. Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions often center on identifying what’s most urgent, building coping skills, and testing small changes that fit daily life.
Clients can expect clear conversation, compassionate listening, and help setting realistic goals. Julie pays attention to how stress and physical health affect mood and motivation. She also helps people sort through control issues, impulsivity, and workplace struggles.
Pregnancy and childbirth concerns, life purpose, and self-love are part of the work she offers. People who prefer speaking in English will be comfortable working with Julie. She meets with clients through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, using a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Evidence-based approaches and online delivery
Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical tools and emotional processing. One common approach emphasizes skill-building for anxiety and stress management, teaching breathing and coping strategies, activity planning, and ways to respond to worry. This work helps when anxiety interferes with daily tasks or sleep.Another frequent focus is trauma-informed care that helps people tell their story at a pace that feels manageable. This approach combines emotional support and pacing with ways to reduce painful reminders and build a sense of safety in everyday life. It can help with post-traumatic stress, guilt, and shame.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Julie works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She will try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial expressions and body language, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use a camera, and chat or text is useful for brief check-ins or flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity between meetings.
