About Julie

Julie Korona is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia who focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

With nine years of clinical experience, she works collaboratively to address concentration and memory concerns and offers support for attention-related challenges such as ADHD. Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion as the foundation for therapeutic work.

Julie adapts conversations and treatment plans to the unique needs of each person she sees, combining practical strategies and empathetic listening to help clients move toward more satisfying daily functioning. She draws on evidence-informed approaches including cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered methods, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to tailor interventions.

Julie encourages taking the first step toward change and provides steady support while clients build coping skills and meet goals at their own pace.

Practical Therapy Approaches for Online Care

Julie often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. This approach focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors that contribute to current difficulties and is useful for problem-focused work and symptom reduction.

She also brings client-centered principles into sessions, offering empathic listening and collaborative goal-setting so clients feel heard and are active partners in planning their care. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are woven in when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are needed, providing practiced tools for handling intense emotions and improving communication.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process, and she works with clients to choose strategies that match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. That collaborative exploration helps shape a tailored plan that evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy with Julie takes place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives and to continue consistent work on skills between appointments.
