About Julie

Julie E Ebersole is a Virginia Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who supports people facing concerns such as LGBT issues, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a person-centered stance that honors each client's perspective and lived experience while helping them identify and use their strengths to move toward meaningful change. Julie brings 17 years of clinical experience and graduate training in professional counseling and crisis and trauma counseling to her work.

Her style blends empathic listening with practical strategies drawn from evidence-informed approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices, to create goal-focused sessions.

Julie aims to collaborate with clients to develop concrete skills for symptom reduction and improved functioning while also attending to deeper concerns such as attachment patterns, dissociation, identity questions including gender dysphoria, and challenging relational dynamics.

She practices exclusively online from Virginia and frames therapy as a joint process in which the client is the expert on their life.

Approaches and Online Options for Practical Growth

Julie frequently incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with skills that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which can be helpful for mood disorders, OCD, and relationship conflicts. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and developing psychological flexibility so clients can pursue meaningful goals even when difficult feelings are present, which is useful for coping with life changes and chronic stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie works alongside clients to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time based on how clients respond. That collaborative stance helps tailor skill-building and deeper exploration in ways that fit each person’s situation.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to engage in care from different locations and at varied times. These formats make it possible to use CBT exercises, ACT values work, mindfulness practice, and skills coaching without a physical office visit, supporting continuity of care and accessibility for clients in Virginia.
