About Julaine
Julaine Smith is a licensed professional counselor clinical consultant (LPCC) and a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in North Dakota with 13 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ2+ related concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. She describes clients as the experts of their own stories and focuses on practical steps forward.
Her approach emphasizes clear conversation and building on strengths. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing for the client, whether that is panic, mood swings, or trouble with self-image. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address emotional patterns and day-to-day coping skills.
She also helps people with issues tied to attachment, abandonment, control, forgiveness, and guilt and shame. That includes impulse control, isolation and loneliness, and relationship communication problems. For people with a military background she notes experience with veteran and armed forces issues.
Julaine works plainly and directly, aiming to make difficult feelings easier to talk about. She invites clients to name what they want to change and then tries out steps that feel manageable. Her practice style is practical rather than abstract, focusing on small changes that can make daily life steadier.

How evidence-based methods guide remote sessions
Julaine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people notice and change patterns that keep them stuck. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety, guilt, or low mood, then testing small changes in everyday life. This can help with panic, worry, and repetitive self-critical thinking.Another approach she uses emphasizes skills for emotion regulation and coping. That work teaches concrete strategies for managing intense feelings, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving sleep and routine. These skills often help when shame or guilt makes it hard to act or connect with others.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to weigh what feels most useful, adjust methods over time, and combine techniques as needs change. The client’s goals and preferences guide which strategies are tried first.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Others prefer longer meetings to work through deeper material; Julaine will help figure out what scheduling style fits daily life and therapy goals.
