About Julie
Julie E Ebersole is a Virginia Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, LGBT concerns, and major life changes. Julie emphasizes a person-centered approach and treats each person as the expert on their own life.
She prefers short, direct conversations that focus on practical steps. Sessions look at strengths a person already has and how those strengths can be used to make changes. Julie aims to reduce blame by separating the person from the problem and working toward concrete solutions.
Her training includes a master’s degree in professional counseling and a second master’s in crisis and trauma counseling. Over many years she has supported people with attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, emptiness, and mood disorders. She also works with concerns related to BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture, as well as gender dysphoria and hospice and end-of-life counseling.
Julie uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. In sessions she helps people notice patterns, practice new reactions, and set small, achievable goals. The focus is on the next steps someone can take between sessions.
All sessions are provided virtually. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling steps using the online intake and matching process on the site.
How her approaches work in virtual sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters most to them, then take small actions that align with those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions run high.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Julie will discuss a person's goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to shape which methods to emphasize. That selection is revisited over time to make sure the work stays useful and focused on what the person wants to change.
All sessions are conducted virtually, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let someone avoid being on camera for parts of a session if that helps them engage. Ask about scheduling, subscription details, and any session format preferences during the matching questionnaire.
