Julie Yliniemi, LPCC

Julie Yliniemi is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota with 10 years of professional experience. She supports people coping with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Julie focuses on creating an open and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. She views reaching out for help as a courageous first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life and aims to offer steady support and practical guidance throughout that process.

Her work emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, helping clients identify goals, build skills, and make changes at a pace that feels manageable. Grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques, Julie partners with each person to address current challenges, process past experiences, and strengthen self-trust on the path toward meaningful change.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One common strand she employs involves cognitive and behavioral strategies that help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and build coping skills for stress, anxiety, and low mood. Another important element of her work is trauma-informed support that helps people safely process difficult experiences, manage triggers, and rebuild a sense of safety and self-worth.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Julie treats the process as collaborative - she listens to each client’s needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts techniques over time to fit what is most helpful for that person.

Online therapy with Julie offers practical flexibility. Clients can meet by video call or phone for conversation-based sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging for more immediate check-ins and ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access consistent care from licensed professionals without sacrificing the therapeutic relationship.
