Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care
Julie Smith draws on trauma-focused and acceptance-based techniques that translate well to online formats. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a trauma-focused approach that helps people process and reframe the thoughts and beliefs that can follow distressing events; it is often used for post-traumatic stress and related symptoms. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) combines cognitive and behavioral strategies with a focus on safety and coping skills, and it is commonly applied with people recovering from traumatic experiences.Julie also integrates mindfulness and acceptance-based strategies that teach present-moment awareness and values-guided action to reduce avoidance and enhance emotional flexibility. These approaches help with anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and coping with chronic illness or life transitions. She works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels.
