About Julie

Julie Tamisiea is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people reduce stress and anxiety, cope with life changes, and address issues like depression, addiction, and self-esteem. Julie aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through what matters most to them.

She believes people are creative, resourceful, and whole. Sessions are built around each person's life story and goals. Julie listens for strengths and then helps plan practical steps to move forward. That might include short skills practice, goal setting, or problem-focused work.

Julie uses a mix of client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior ideas, and mindfulness. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools when they fit a client's needs. The approach is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all, so what happens in sessions depends on what helps the individual make progress.

Her background includes long-term work with people facing trauma, addiction, grief, relationship struggles, and parenting stress. She also works with concerns tied to adoption and foster care and with caregiver and aging issues. Julie brings steady, practical guidance for everyday problems and bigger life transitions.

Julie practices in North Carolina and conducts sessions in English. She asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire to help plan an initial appointment and match on goals before scheduling.

How Julie’s approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps them name what matters most, which works well for goals like improving self-esteem or managing parenting stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by practicing new habits and tracking progress between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings focused skills for regulating emotions and handling intense moments. That can help people who struggle with anger, relationship conflict, or impulsive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as progress is made and new priorities appear.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or letting people join from a quieter location. Therapists and licensed professionals use practical tools in remote sessions such as worksheets, skills practice, and guided mindfulness to support progress.
