About Julie
Julie E Ebersole is a Virginia Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing depression, trauma, relationship strain, and codependency. She centers sessions on each person's experience and goals, offering a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk things through and try new ways of coping. Julie emphasizes strengths already present and works side-by-side with clients toward practical change.
Julie practices primarily from a person-centered stance. She believes clients are the experts on their own lives and uses that view to guide conversations and goal-setting. Sessions aim to identify clear, achievable steps so change feels manageable rather than overwhelming.
Her training includes a master’s degree in professional counseling and a second master’s in crisis and trauma counseling. With 17 years of experience, she draws on a range of approaches to match what each person needs. That experience informs how she supports people through grief, hospice and end-of-life concerns, gender questions, and other life transitions.
Julie integrates evidence-based tools such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness practices when those methods fit a client's goals. She also offers techniques useful for attachment struggles, dissociation, OCD symptoms, and sexual culture or kink-related questions. The work is collaborative and paced to the person.
All sessions are provided online by Julie as a virtual therapist. Prospective clients in Virginia can expect focused, goal-oriented sessions that blend practical skills with reflective support.
How these approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for mood struggles, codependency, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and on practicing small, actionable changes to shift those patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and ground people in the present moment, which can be useful for dissociation, emotion regulation, and stress from caregiving.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Julie works collaboratively to see which approaches fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. She will suggest options, try techniques in session, and adjust the plan based on what proves helpful.
All sessions are provided online by Julie as a virtual therapist. Because formats are listed in her biography as exclusively virtual, confirm the specific session options and scheduling when you start the matching process. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can focus on the work itself.
