About Julie

Julie Zemke is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, addiction, trauma, grief, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorders, compassion fatigue, and co-occurring conditions. She is direct yet warm, and she aims to help people find more confidence and clearer boundaries in their daily lives.

Her style values honesty, practical skills, and a touch of humor to lighten hard work.

Background and approach

In sessions she focuses on concrete steps you can try between meetings. She listens, asks clear questions, and offers tools drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and skills-based therapies. Julie emphasizes building stronger emotional regulation and better ways to communicate needs.

Her background includes work across inpatient, residential, jail, crisis intervention, and outpatient mental health settings. Those experiences shape a straightforward approach to coping strategies and relapse prevention. She also has experience addressing substance use concerns alongside mood and trauma-related problems.

Julie uses client-centered conversations alongside techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, with mindfulness and motivational interviewing woven in when helpful. She helps people practice new responses and build routines that support lasting change. She provides evening and weekend video, phone, and live chat sessions, and stays highly available through messaging.

Signing up begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability. If you are ready to take a first step, she aims to make the process clear and manageable.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It means conversations are guided by the client's needs and goals, with the therapist offering listening and support to help people find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to help manage intense feelings and improve how someone relates to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will help figure out which tools fit a person's goals and preferences. That process can include trying strategies from different approaches and adjusting based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility that can make it easier to attend regularly. Video calls let people have a more personal conversation while phone sessions may be a better fit when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing connection between sessions and can help with quick questions, progress updates, or practice of skills learned in sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to continue work consistently over time.
