About Julie

Julie Tamisiea is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 15 years of experience. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting struggles, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and codependency. Julie works with people who are coping with life transitions, grief, trauma and abuse, and career or identity questions.

Julie keeps the work direct and practical. She listens for the habits and patterns that keep someone stuck, then helps them name and shift those patterns. Sessions often include straightforward tools from cognitive-behavioral methods and mindfulness so people can try new responses between meetings.

Her approach is client-centered in that she follows each person’s priorities and worldview. She uses parts of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to support emotion regulation and to strengthen motivation for change. That mix aims to help people manage intense feelings and make steady progress toward goals.

Julie has worked with people facing addiction and with those affected by family-of-origin problems, adoption and foster care issues, and caregiver stress. She also supports those dealing with body image, eating concerns, and compassion fatigue from helping professions.

Practical problem solving and small skills practice are common in sessions. Julie encourages realistic steps that fit everyday life and checks in on what’s working.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Julie commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to a person’s priorities and following their lead, which helps clarify goals and next steps. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small, practical changes that reduce distress and improve coping. DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie collaborates with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts strategies so the work fits what the person needs at that time.

Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit therapy into a busy week, have shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Julie uses her clinical approaches to help people practice skills between meetings and apply them in everyday situations.
