Julie Clark , LPC

Julie Clark founded Collective Impact Services, LLC in 2015 and serves as its Director of Services while providing clinical and rehabilitative support to clients and community partners. Ms. Clark holds a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) credential, a State of Michigan Board Certified Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC), and an additional MITS credential, and she is currently working through a development plan for CAADC with MCBAP. Her background spans more than 20 years in the counseling field, and she brings that depth of experience to work aimed at helping people find balance, purpose, and greater well-being.

At Collective Impact Services, Julie offers counseling, professional supervision, training, referrals, and networking designed to expand possibilities beneath the surface of everyday challenges. She provides vocational rehabilitation services as part of her practice, including vocational guidance and placement support for people with physical and mental disabilities, and she regularly shares information about regional rehabilitation resources with the community.

Ms. Clark takes a collaborative, solution-focused approach that emphasizes emotional safety and practical growth. She works with individuals, couples, families, and professionals seeking supervision toward LPC licensure, addressing concerns such as ADHD, coping with disability, depression and anxiety, grief and life transitions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, addiction support, career planning, parenting, and stress management. All of her licenses and certifications are maintained in good standing.

Collective Impact Services is not a crisis center. If immediate help is needed, callers should dial 911 or their local emergency services, visit the nearest emergency department, or, for those in the U.S. experiencing suicidal thoughts, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-784-2433.

Online Therapeutic Approaches and Practical Care

Julie Clark draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to tailor online care to each person. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space in which the therapist supports the client’s own goals and self-discovery, which can help with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. CBT targets the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching skills for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and is useful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and coping with crisis moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve. Licensed professionals and therapists bring a range of techniques to support that collaborative decision-making.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it possible to receive consistent care without geographic barriers. These options allow clients to schedule sessions more easily, use brief check-ins between appointments, and maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
