Julie E Ebersole, LPC

Julie E Ebersole is a Virginia Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as LGBT concerns, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. Julie focuses on helping people who feel stuck, unsure about next steps, or overwhelmed by transitions common in early adulthood.

Her approach centers on client-centered therapy, which treats the person as the expert on their own life. Sessions often look at what is already working for a person and build practical ways to use those strengths. She mixes techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help with mood, unhelpful thoughts, and emotional regulation.

Julie also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to support people who struggle with impulsivity, dissociation, obsessive thinking, or chronic shame and guilt. She pays attention to attachment difficulties and codependency patterns that can affect relationships and intimacy, including work with kink, BDSM, and alternative sex culture topics when relevant.

All of Julie's work is delivered online. She helps people set clear goals, practice new skills between sessions, and work toward manageable changes. Her background includes a master’s degree in professional counseling and a master’s in crisis and trauma counseling, which inform her focus on trauma, grief, and complex life transitions.

Julie aims to collaborate so clients can identify steps forward, reduce overwhelm, and build more consistent coping strategies for everyday life.
