Julia Smith, LCSW, LCSW — Therapist in Oregon

Hi there, I'm Julia!

I offer teletherapy to adults of all ages, and I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and depression, as well as the management of ADHD.

My focus

I do my best work with folks experiencing anxiety, depression, and difficulty adjusting during times of transition. I also have clinical expertise in managing ADHD. My practice actively embraces neurodivergence and affirms trans* and LGBTQ identities.

My approach

I utilize a variety of evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and psychodynamic psychotherapy.

My communication style

In session, I strive to be authentic, casual, and accepting. I welcome you to make yourself comfortable and know that we do our best healing when we can be ourselves. I have a healthy sense of humor and am comfortable if you do too!

My goals for you

During our second session, we will clarify the general areas of focus for your time in therapy. I like to think of goals as guideposts rather than rigid or fixed finish lines. Sometimes, goals need to shift, and that's okay!

Our first session

Our first session will be mostly you talking about yourself, starting from whatever part of your story feels most pressing. I will ask questions and collect the information I need. I hope to make you feel comfortable, and I always allow time for you to ask me any questions you may have.
