Julie Zemke brings a direct, authentic approach balanced with compassion to help people move forward toward their goals. She works to empower clients, encouraging healthier boundaries and a clearer, more assertive expression of needs, and values a sense of humor as an important coping skill.
With 15 years of professional experience, Julie is licensed in Georgia, Wisconsin, Washington, Oregon, and Arizona. She holds Licensed Clinical Social Worker credentials in Arizona (AZ LCSW 22038) and Oregon (OR LCSW L14923) - LCSW denotes Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
Her clinical expertise covers adult mental health, substance use disorders, and trauma. Julie has practiced in a variety of settings including inpatient and residential care, jail settings, crisis intervention, and outpatient mental health clinics. She integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) techniques into her work.
Julie takes particular satisfaction in helping individuals manage emotions more effectively, improve relationships, and enhance overall functioning. She listens attentively and provides practical tools that have been shown to improve quality of life. Recognizing that starting therapy takes courage, she honors that step and supports new clients through the process.
Availability is an important part of selecting a therapist. Julie offers live chat, video, and phone sessions on weekends and weeknights only, and she is highly accessible through messaging.
Many people wonder whether online therapy truly makes a difference. For a range of common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major advantage of online therapy is flexibility. Clients can connect with a therapist in the format that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy schedule.
All therapists are licensed professionals, and if someone feels they need a different fit they can switch therapists at any time. This combination of effectiveness and convenience makes online therapy a viable option for many people seeking support.
