About Julaine

Julaine Smith is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and LGBTQ2+ related concerns. She brings 13 years of professional experience and a down-to-earth style that aims to make difficult conversations feel manageable. Julaine emphasizes clients' strengths and works alongside them as they take steps toward greater well-being.

She believes each person knows their own story and that therapy is a collaborative process. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit daily life and build confidence. Julaine listens for patterns around attachment, abandonment, and relationships, and she supports people dealing with shame, guilt, or issues with self-image.

Her background includes clinical work across North Dakota and Wyoming, where she helped people with trauma and recovery after abuse. She also has experience talking with young people about motivation and self-worth. That experience informs a straightforward approach that blends understanding with real-world strategies.

Conversations often address panic, mood shifts, and coping when life feels overwhelming. Julaine helps people name triggers, practice new skills, and set small, trackable goals. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Appointments follow a short intake and matching process. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and she provides services in English. Prospective clients complete a brief questionnaire to get matched and schedule based on therapist availability.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Julaine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and skill building. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new thinking and behavior to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms; this helps with panic, low mood, and negative self-talk. Another approach centers on processing traumatic experiences and building safety around distressing memories so people can move forward with less avoidance and hyperarousal.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That conversation includes reviewing what has or hasn’t helped in the past and trying strategies that feel manageable in daily life.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity between meetings. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm which formats are offered before booking. In general, remote work can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use quieter or lower-bandwidth options if that helps them participate more consistently.
