About Julie

Julie Tamisiea is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She has 15 years of clinical experience helping people work through stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and parenting concerns. She uses straightforward, practical work in sessions and creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to speak openly.

Julie believes people are creative, resourceful, and whole. She listens first and helps clients spot patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear steps clients can use between appointments to feel better and manage problems more effectively. Her background includes a wide range of issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, relationship struggles, eating and body image concerns, and career changes. She has also supported people facing caregiver stress, adoption and foster care matters, and substance use challenges.

Julie draws on a mix of tools so care fits each person rather than forcing one method. In practice she blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when helpful. She also uses motivational interviewing and mindfulness techniques to support change and emotional regulation.

These tools are introduced in plain language and practiced during sessions. Therapy with Julie moves at a practical pace. She helps people set realistic goals and build skills they can use right away.

The approach is collaborative, with room to adjust methods as needs or life circumstances change.

How Julie’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Client-centered therapy means Julie focuses on listening and understanding each person’s perspective. She creates space for clients to say what matters most and guides conversations toward the client’s goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, offers clear skills for managing intense emotions, improving tolerance for distress, and strengthening relationships when emotions run high.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques as progress is made or goals shift.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, or caregiving duties. They also let clients practice new skills in real life between appointments while staying connected to a licensed professional for guidance.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
