About Julie
Julie E Ebersole, LPC, helps people facing relationship strain, depression, trauma, and questions about gender or sexual identity. She focuses on practical steps to cope with life changes and supports people dealing with caregiving stress, codependency, dissociation, and obsessive or impulsive patterns. Her approach centers on the person in front of her and what they want to change.
Julie practices in a way that keeps the client’s goals first. She listens without judgment and treats clients as the experts on their own lives. Conversations are aimed at spotting strengths and turning those into manageable steps toward change. She uses clear language and concrete ideas so people leave a session with something to try.
Her background includes two master’s degrees, one in professional counseling and one in crisis and trauma counseling, and 17 years of clinical experience. She holds a Virginia Licensed Professional Counselor credential. That training informs how she helps people process traumatic experiences and long-standing mood concerns.
Therapy sessions are held online only. Julie works with people exploring identity, intimate life, attachment struggles, or the emotional fallout from major life transitions. She also supports those facing end-of-life caregiving worries and people wanting to reduce shame, guilt, or emptiness.
Julie uses multiple therapeutic methods, including Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She will collaborate with each person to find which methods fit their needs and pace. If you want straightforward, respectful support while you make changes, she offers an approach grounded in listening and practical steps.

Online approaches that meet you where you are
Julie uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to build momentum one step at a time. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about making changes in relationships, mood, or behavior.
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed and committing to actions that match personal values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, or when life transitions make it hard to move forward.
Client-Centered Therapy is another part of her work; it means sessions are guided by the client’s concerns and pace rather than a fixed agenda. This approach supports people who need a nonjudgmental space to sort through identity, attachment, or intimacy questions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist collaborates with each person to test methods and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Goals, preferences, and the problem at hand shape which techniques are emphasized.
Julie practices exclusively online, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can access care from different parts of Virginia. Working online still allows for real conversation, skill practice, and step-by-step change. -
