Julie E Ebersole

Julie E Ebersole is a Virginia Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing depression, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, and questions about gender and sexual identity. She also supports people coping with life changes and the stress that comes with major transitions. Her approach centers on the person in front of her, not on labels or judgments.

Julie uses a person-centered style that emphasizes the client’s strengths and goals. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals while also acknowledging the impact of past experiences. She draws on a mix of methods to match each person’s needs, including acceptance-based strategies, cognitive work, mindfulness, and skills for emotional regulation.

With 17 years of experience and master’s degrees in professional counseling and crisis and trauma counseling, Julie brings long-term practice in supporting people through hard times. She identifies as a clinician who learns alongside clients and helps them uncover their own expertise about their lives.

Julie’s work includes attention to attachment concerns, codependency, caregiver stress, dissociation, shame and guilt, and mood or obsessive-compulsive symptoms. She also supports people navigating BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture topics and those dealing with hospice and end-of-life issues.

All sessions are offered online. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and can expect a collaborative, respectful process focused on real-world change.

Online approaches that fit your life

Julie often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people make meaningful changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and learning to accept difficult thoughts while still taking guided action toward a life that matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful habits and ease symptoms like depression or anxiety.

Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, struggles, and preferences and then try methods that match those needs. That collaborative process means the plan can shift as progress is made or new issues arise.

Julie conducts all sessions online, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Online work can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on hectic days, and let people meet from wherever they are located in Virginia.
