About Julie

Julie E Ebersole is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing trauma and abuse, depression, relationship problems, and life transitions. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and treats each client as the expert on their own life. Julie aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly, build on existing strengths, and work toward clear, practical changes.

Julie uses a person-centered approach that emphasizes listening and collaboration. She blends methods from cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness, and acceptance-based strategies to tailor sessions to each person's needs. Sessions focus on real-life steps clients can try between meetings as well as discussion during appointments.

Her background includes two master’s degrees - one in professional counseling and one in crisis and trauma counseling - and 17 years of experience in counseling and therapeutic support. Julie’s training and years of practice inform how she supports people through loss, identity questions, and patterns that keep them stuck.

Julie works exclusively online and conducts every session virtually. That means meetings happen remotely rather than in a physical office. Readers should confirm the current session options before booking to make sure they match personal needs.

In sessions she often draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness tools, and skills-based strategies to help people manage strong emotions, reduce self-critical thinking, and improve communication. The work is collaborative: she helps people set goals and tries approaches that fit the client’s values and daily life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Julie combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy alongside cognitive behavioral ideas to support people online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches ways to live by chosen values while accepting difficult feelings, and it is often used for trauma, depression, and ongoing stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and trust; the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them discover their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and offers practical strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will discuss different methods and make adjustments based on the client’s goals, comfort, and daily life. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

Julie works exclusively online, so confirm the specific session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also make it simpler to practice skills in the settings where daily challenges happen. A therapist will help match session style and pacing to what fits each person’s schedule and needs.
