About Julie
Dr. Julie McCune is an Ohio LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief and trauma, and a broad range of life changes. Dr. McCune lists ADHD, addictions, intimacy-related issues, career worries, and LGBT concerns among her common areas of focus.
She describes a practical, skills-based way of working. Sessions often include learning coping tools for anxiety and anger, improving communication, and building routines for sleep and eating. She also helps people manage grief, recovery from abuse, and the strain of major life transitions.
Her background includes long-term work in private practice and community mental health settings. Over the years she has used several evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). These are applied with attention to immediate problems and daily functioning.
People who prefer clear strategies and step-by-step skill practice may find this approach useful. Sessions tend to focus on measurable changes like better sleep, fewer panic episodes, or more stable mood and relationships. The therapist also notes experience with caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, and challenges related to aging.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take actions that reflect those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions where direction and motivation are unclear.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleeping and eating problems, and managing mood swings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It can help when anger, intense emotions, or relationship conflicts are frequent concerns.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will review your situation, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That plan can change as progress is tracked and new priorities emerge.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy routine - for example shorter check-ins that work around class or shifts, or sessions that avoid travel time. Discussing scheduling and communication preferences during the first meeting makes it easier to shape therapy around everyday life.
