About Julie
Julie E Ebersole is a Virginia Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, and life changes. She also supports people dealing with gender dysphoria, LGBT concerns, and caregiving stress. Her approach centers on the person in front of her and what they want to change.
Julie uses a person-centered way of working that treats the client as the expert on their life. She listens closely, reflects what she hears, and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative - the client sets goals and Julie helps map steps toward them. Her training includes a master’s degree in professional counseling and a master’s in crisis and trauma counseling. Julie brings 17 years of experience providing counseling and therapeutic support across many challenges.
She identifies as a clinician who focuses on practical change and steady progress. Julie draws on several well-known approaches in her work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavior techniques, dialectical skills, and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to manage mood, reduce unhelpful patterns, and increase coping skills.
She avoids judgment and creates space for honest conversation. All sessions are offered online. That means video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging are the ways she meets with people.
Julie aims to help people find concrete solutions while honoring their values and identity.
Online approaches that focus on values and skills
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take actions that align with their values. It is useful for depression, life changes, and finding direction when feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for mood disorders, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can help with trauma responses and impulsivity.The therapist will work with each person to figure out which approaches fit best. Deciding what to try is a team effort that depends on goals, preferences, and how someone responds in early sessions. Julie uses the methods above flexibly and adjusts the plan as needed in collaboration with the client.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people communicate in writing between sessions or when typing feels easier. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into busy lives.
