Julie E Ebersole, LPC

About me

I am, first and foremost, a person-centered clinician. This means I employ practices that focus on you and your experiences, needs, beliefs, and goals. I believe you are the expert on you; you may just need a little help uncovering this expertise. I also believe you are engaging in counseling because you are pursuing change in your life; and I am here to support and learn with you, side-by-side, as you move forward and make changes. I am not here to judge you in any way, but rather to create a supportive, safe environment for you to express yourself, learn, and grow. I intend to focus on the strengths you already possess, and how these can be cultivated to facilitate positive change. We can work towards concrete solutions together. Please remember, you are not the problem; the problem is the problem.

I am a Virginia Licensed Professional Counselor. I have a master’s degree in professional counseling, as well as one in crisis and trauma counseling. I also have over 15 years of experience in providing counseling and therapeutic support, so I feel confident that we can find success working with one another. It is important to note that I am exclusively a virtual therapist and will facilitate every session online.
