Julie E Ebersole, LPC

Julie E Ebersole is a Virginia Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 17 years of experience. She focuses on relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, LGBT concerns, and helping people cope with life changes. Julie also works with codependency, attachment issues, communication problems, dissociation, and related struggles.

Julie uses a person-centered approach that begins with listening. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their own life. Sessions aim to identify strengths already present and use them to make practical changes. Conversations are direct and grounded in the client’s goals.

Her work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and small steps toward those values. Mindfulness practices and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used where they fit the client’s needs.

Julie’s training includes a master’s degree in professional counseling and a master’s in crisis and trauma counseling. She has spent years supporting people through grief, hospice and end-of-life concerns, caregiver stress, and mood challenges. Her experience includes work with people exploring gender dysphoria and those connected to BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture.

All sessions are held online with Julie acting as a virtual therapist. Before a first session, she asks clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire so scheduling can begin. The focus is practical work, steady support, and helping people take clearer steps in their relationships and daily life.
