About Julie
Julie Mcmonagle is a Minnesota LICSW with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and life changes, and she also supports those facing trauma, eating concerns, and social anxiety and phobia.
She offers straightforward, person-focused therapy. Sessions are a place to talk through what feels hard, learn practical coping strategies, and try new ways of responding to difficult situations. Her approach centers on listening and reflecting so people can notice what matters most to them.
In practice she helps clients name the patterns that keep problems going. That might mean practicing breathing and grounding techniques, gradually facing feared social situations, or talking through painful memories at a manageable pace. She also addresses relationship stress such as blended family issues and separation concerns when they affect an individual’s well-being.
Julie draws on client-centered methods to guide each step. This means goals and pacing are shaped by the person in the room. She checks in about progress and adjusts plans as needed rather than using a one-size-fits-all script.
Her background includes helping people cope with post-traumatic stress, guilt and shame, and eating and food-related issues. People who choose her work with someone familiar with a range of emotional concerns and with practical ways to practice change between sessions.
How client-centered work adapts to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can find their own answers. It helps when someone needs space to sort through feelings like anxiety, grief, or shame while being guided by their own goals and pace.That approach can be paired with practical coping techniques. For example, a therapist may coach breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure exercises to address social anxiety and phobia or other anxiety symptoms. These methods are demonstrated, practiced, and adapted together during sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and offer shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It also allows people to practice techniques between meetings and bring those experiences back to discuss and refine.
