About Julie
Julie E Ebersole is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia who focuses on work and wellbeing alongside relationship, trauma, and mood concerns. She centers therapy on each person’s lived experience and helps people identify goals they want to reach. Sessions aim to build on a person’s strengths and find practical steps forward when life feels stuck.
Julie uses a person-centered style that treats the client as the expert on their own life. She listens without judgment and supports people as they try new ways of coping. When someone wants concrete tools, she blends that collaborative stance with evidence-based strategies.
Her background includes two master’s degrees, one in professional counseling and one in crisis and trauma counseling, and 17 years of experience in clinical work. Julie has worked with people facing trauma and abuse, depression, grief and end-of-life concerns, and challenges tied to identity such as gender dysphoria and LGBT issues.
She also helps people who are dealing with attachment concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, emptiness, OCD symptoms, and questions about life purpose. Julie has experience talking about kink, BDSM, and alternative sex culture in a nonjudgmental way.
Julie practices exclusively online and supports people who prefer virtual sessions. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and can expect a collaborative, strengths-focused approach aimed at practical change.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Julie commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT invites people to clarify their values and take steps toward them, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It can help with life transitions, meaning, and motivation. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to see which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision happens together and can change over time as goals evolve.
Julie conducts all sessions online. This can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time, and check in from where you are. If you need a shorter touchpoint, scheduling during a break can work well; if you prefer more in-depth time, longer sessions can be arranged. Confirm the current virtual session options before booking so arrangements match your routine and tech setup.
