Julie Korona, LPC

Julie Korona is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Virginia with nine years of practice. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or struggling with relationship concerns. She also offers support for coping with life changes, difficulty concentrating, memory concerns, and ADHD-related focus challenges.

Her approach starts with respect and sensitivity. She listens first, then tailors conversations and a plan to each person's situation. Sessions are practical and direct, with an emphasis on skills people can use between meetings.

Julie draws on client-centered methods that keep the person’s goals central. She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are added when helpful to set clear, achievable steps.

In session she focuses on communication patterns, commitment and control issues, and managing guilt or shame. She also addresses caregiver stress, blended family concerns, attachment questions, and problems related to aging or hoarding. The work often centers on small behavior changes that create visible relief.

Julie encourages a collaborative pace. She helps people set realistic goals and checks in about what is working. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to choose the continue button on this profile and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange scheduling.

How Julie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and experience. It means the therapist listens closely and shapes sessions around what feels most useful to the client, which helps when navigating stress, relationships, and life transitions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It teaches practical techniques for changing patterns that feed anxiety or depression and supports better focus and daily functioning.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotional regulation and coping skills. It can be useful for people who struggle with intense emotions, communication problems, or impulsive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they’ll try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule short check-ins, avoid travel time, and fit sessions into a busy day. Some people find phone meetings use less bandwidth, while video helps with visual cues; the therapist will discuss what suits each person’s routine and goals.
