Julie Porath, LICSW

Julie Porath is a Minnesota-licensed clinician who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and issues with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. She holds the LICSW credential - a license identifying her as a licensed independent clinical social worker - and brings a strengths-focused perspective to clinical work. Julie places particular emphasis on supporting women navigating personal or marital difficulties and those recovering from the aftermath of divorce as they rebuild a sense of self.

Julie approaches each client with the belief that people are the experts of their own stories and that inherent strengths can be mobilized to address life’s challenges. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that honors the client’s goals while offering practical guidance and encouragement. Taking the first step toward a more satisfying and contented life takes courage, and Julie aims to be a steady, supportive presence through that process.

Her schedule tends to be more open in the later afternoons and evenings - primarily on Wednesdays with a few appointments scattered through the week - and she is occasionally available on Sunday evenings. Julie practices in Minnesota and provides care in English.

Julie uses evidence-based strategies to help people manage stress and anxiety, teaching practical skills for emotional regulation, relaxation, and coping with everyday pressures. These skills can reduce overwhelm and make daily functioning feel more manageable.

She also offers family- and relationship-focused work that addresses communication patterns, parenting challenges, blended family dynamics, and separation or divorce transitions. This approach supports clearer interaction, better boundary setting, and healthier family functioning.

Additionally, Julie draws on strengths-based and supportive techniques to rebuild self-esteem and address compassion fatigue, helping clients reconnect with their values and personal resources. Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - Julie collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adapt strategies over time to find the best fit.

Online therapy with Julie is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to schedule care during evenings and other convenient times while maintaining continuity of support from licensed professionals and therapists.
