About Julie
Julie Zemke is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self esteem, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and co-morbidity. She uses a direct but compassionate style and aims to help people speak up for their needs and set healthier boundaries.
Julie values plain talk and a sense of humor as tools in therapy. She works with adults on motivation, confidence, and navigating life changes. Sessions often include practical skills to manage emotions and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her background includes inpatient, residential, jail, crisis intervention, and outpatient mental health settings. She has worked extensively with substance use and trauma. That range of experience informs a pragmatic approach to common problems like anxiety and low self-esteem.
Julie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach coping skills and reframe unhelpful thinking. She also uses client-centered principles to build a collaborative relationship and motivational interviewing to support change when substance use or ambivalence is present.
She is licensed as an LCSW in Arizona and also holds licenses in Georgia, Wisconsin, Washington, and Oregon. She offers live chat, video, and phone sessions on weekends and weeknights, and is highly reachable by messaging.
