Julie E Ebersole practices from a person-centered perspective, prioritizing each client's experiences, needs, beliefs, and goals. She works with the assumption that people are the experts on their own lives and offers supportive guidance to help uncover and apply that expertise. Julie approaches counseling as collaborative change work - she moves forward side-by-side with clients to identify strengths, explore practical solutions, and support meaningful growth while avoiding judgment.

Julie holds a master’s degree in professional counseling and a master’s degree in crisis and trauma counseling and brings 17 years of clinical experience to her practice. She is a Virginia Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and conducts all sessions exclusively online, facilitating therapy through virtual appointments designed to fit into clients’ lives.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for issues such as depression, anxiety, and life transitions because it emphasizes action aligned with what matters most.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead, reflecting understanding and supporting self-directed growth. This approach is especially helpful for people who want a collaborative, strength-based process to explore identity, relationships, and personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, replacing them with more effective patterns. It is commonly used for mood disorders, obsessive thinking, and coping with life changes. Julie will work collaboratively with each client to determine which approaches or combination of approaches best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals adapt methods to the individual rather than applying a single technique.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging allows for flexible scheduling and access from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy routines, and connect with a therapist who can support progress in practical, accessible ways.
