Julie Clark , LPC

Julie Clark founded Collective Impact Services, LLC in 2015 and serves as its Director of Services while also providing direct therapy, supervision, training, referrals, and networking. As a State of Michigan board-certified CRC (Certified Rehabilitation Counselor) and LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) who also holds MITS credentials, she brings more than 20 years of clinical and vocational experience to her work. She is currently working through a development plan for her CAADC with MCBAP.

Julie focuses on helping people discover strengths and possibilities beneath the surface, guiding them toward balance, purpose, and greater contentment. Her approach blends rehabilitation counseling and mental health treatment to address concerns across the lifespan, including stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, career transitions, and issues affecting LGBT clients. She also offers support for those coping with new or existing disabilities and provides vocational guidance, physical restoration training, and placement services for people with physical and mental impairments.

Known for building community partnerships and creating innovative programs, Julie works with individuals, couples, families, and professionals pursuing full LPC licensure. She routinely provides supervision for LLPCs and offers education about vocational rehabilitation resources within her service area. All licenses and certifications are maintained in good standing.

Collective Impact Services is not a crisis center; in cases of immediate danger Julie directs people to call 911 or a local emergency resource. Prospective clients and referral sources are welcome to learn more about the services and programs she offers.

Therapeutic Approaches Julie Uses for Online Care

Julie integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and supports the client in finding their own solutions - it is useful for building self-esteem, navigating life changes, and strengthening relationships. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT offers tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, making it helpful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and coping with trauma.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Julie works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they review what is helping, adjust the plan as needed, and prioritize strategies that fit the client’s circumstances.

Online therapy with Julie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which increases scheduling flexibility and makes it easier to maintain continuity when life gets busy. These options allow licensed professionals like Julie to deliver consistent care across distances and support clients who prefer remote sessions or need adaptable communication styles.
