About Jacqueline

Dr. Jacqueline Julien helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and the ups and downs of life. She also supports those dealing with depression, grief, anger, addictions, relationship and career concerns.

Jacqueline is a licensed psychologist in Minnesota, credentialed as MN Psychologist LP4865. She writes in a direct, down-to-earth way during sessions. Conversations are practical and focused on what matters most to the person in the room.

She uses some humor when it fits and expects clients to take an active role in moving forward.

Background and approach

Her style blends several evidence-informed methods rather than relying on one single technique. That means she helps people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact, then uses tools to change patterns that are getting in the way. She helps clients identify small steps that build toward the life they want.

Jacqueline draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative ideas, and client-centered practices when those fit the situation. She prefers clear, practical work that builds on what people already do well. She has seven years of experience working with a variety of concerns and has also taught university psychology courses.

Her practice operates from Minnesota and sessions are offered in English. For those seeking daytime appointments, she currently provides live sessions during daytime hours and also offers multiple online formats to suit different needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify personal values and take steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and big life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting someone’s own ability to find solutions; it helps when someone needs a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can ease stress and help with emotion regulation.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That shared planning can include trying different techniques and adjusting as needed to meet practical needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep consistent appointments, follow up between sessions, and use tools that match daily life. The range of formats supports different comfort levels and practical needs while keeping the focus on progress and workable steps.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
