About Julie
Hi, I’m Julie Carmichael, LICSW. I’m a licensed clinical social worker, and I’ve spent 20 years treating OCD. I’ve also lived with OCD since childhood, so I know how much courage it can take to practice these skills in everyday life.
Over the years, some of my most valuable lessons have come from my clients. Their questions, insights, and creative ways of applying what they’ve learned have made me a better clinician. I want to bring that same openness to **Skills to Outsmart OCD**.
This will be a collaborative learning community. I’ll teach evidence-based approaches, including exposure and response prevention (ERP), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and inference-based CBT (I-CBT). I’ll also listen to what members want to learn and use their requests to shape future lessons and discussions.
You’ll have space to share what has helped you, learn from others, set goals, and encourage one another to follow through.
