About Julie

Julie Clark is an LPC with more than 20 years of counseling experience who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, addiction, grief, career questions, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She also supports issues related to self-esteem, intimacy, parenting, ADHD, bipolar challenges, compassion fatigue, and concerns specific to LGBT clients, and maintains an additional focus on meeting the needs of visually impaired individuals. Julie founded Collective Impact Services, LLC to create opportunities for growth, balance, and purpose through counseling, supervision, training, referrals, and community partnerships.

Her practice emphasizes trust, emotional safety, and solution-focused work that draws on client-centered principles alongside evidence-informed methods. Julie incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches to tailor care to each person’s situation.

She also provides rehabilitation counseling and vocational guidance for clients with physical or mental disabilities, and she offers supervision for clinicians pursuing LPC licensure. Based in Michigan, Julie combines clinical services with program development and community outreach to connect clients with resources and practical supports.

Practical approaches and flexible online therapy



Julie often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own goals and insights guide the process. When needed, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness practices are added to teach emotional regulation and present-moment coping skills, which can be helpful for intense emotions and interpersonal stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative effort. Julie works with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexible ways to connect from home or work. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access consistent support when in-person visits are not practical. Licensed professionals can use these tools to deliver structured CBT work, skills training, reflective conversation, and practical coaching tailored to each client.
