About Julie

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 16 years of experience, Julie Smith helps people manage anxiety, stress, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and major life changes. Julie has worked in inpatient hospitals, outpatient community agencies, and runs a private practice where she provides one-on-one therapy and coaching.

She sees people who are coping with mood problems, panic attacks, trauma symptoms, chronic illness and pain, seasonal mood shifts, and struggles with money or family communication. Julie also supports people dealing with self-harm thoughts and with building self-love and better coping skills.

Julie uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Her background includes trauma-focused methods, mindfulness and acceptance-based work, and elements of cognitive-behavioral and humanistic approaches. She focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions.

Her way of working is collaborative and interactive. Sessions include discussing what is most pressing, learning tools to manage symptoms, and trying new ways to think and act in day-to-day life. Julie aims to help clients build resilience and clearer routines that fit their goals.

She offers services in English and does not take international clients. The practice operates on a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules a first session via the See online therapy options button.

Sheet 2

How evidence-based approaches translate to remote sessions

Julie draws from trauma-focused methods and mindfulness and acceptance-based work. Trauma-focused methods focus on processing traumatic memories and reducing their impact on daily life. Mindfulness and acceptance-based work teaches noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, which can help with anxiety, mood problems, and stress.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Julie will review your goals and symptoms and discuss which techniques fit your needs. Together you decide whether to emphasize trauma processing, skill-building, or acceptance strategies and adjust as you progress.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in their everyday settings between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and grounding techniques for remote work so sessions remain focused on practical change.
