Julie E Ebersole, LPC

Julie E Ebersole is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing relationship strain, trauma, depression, and life transitions. She focuses on LGBT concerns and on issues like attachment, communication problems, codependency, and gender dysphoria. Julie works alongside people who want practical change and clearer direction in their lives.

She describes her style as person-centered, which means she listens first and follows the client’s lead. Sessions emphasize the client’s own goals and strengths. Julie avoids judgment and works to create a calm space where people can talk honestly and try new ways of coping.

Julie brings 17 years of counseling experience and holds a master’s degree in professional counseling plus a master’s in crisis and trauma counseling. That background informs her approach to trauma, grief, and end-of-life concerns, as well as to compulsive behaviors and mood difficulties.

In-session work can include skills practice, values clarification, emotion regulation, and behavior change strategies drawn from cognitive-behavioral and acceptance-based methods. Mindfulness techniques and dialectical behavior ideas may be used to manage strong feelings or dissociation.

All sessions are provided online from Virginia. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking. Julie aims to help people find steady ways to cope, reconnect with what matters, and make achievable steps toward change.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Julie often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. ACT can help with relationship strain, depression, and life transitions.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the client’s experience, priorities, and pace. That means sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping people make choices that match their own goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

All sessions are delivered online from Virginia, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. For people who prefer skills practice, mindfulness exercises and behavior experiments can be done between sessions and discussed online to track progress.
