About Julie

Dr. Julie McCune is a Licensed Practical Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of experience. She draws on long clinical experience to meet people where they are.

Her manner is warm and nonjudgmental, aimed at helping clients find practical ways forward for everyday struggles. She uses clear, hands-on techniques to tackle stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She also addresses concerns like addictions, intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, and challenges tied to parenting and life transitions.

Background and approach

Her practice includes work on self-esteem, communication, and coping skills for difficult emotions. Her training includes a master’s degree in Counseling and a doctoral degree (Ph.D.) in Clinical Psychology, and she holds an Ohio LPCC with a supervisory endorsement (OH LPCC E.0002786-SUPV). That mix of degrees and license informs a careful, experienced approach to assessment and care.

In sessions she blends evidence-based tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness practices. The focus is on simple strategies that clients can use between appointments. She offers multiple remote session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

International clients may participate in sessions, and conversations are conducted in English.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, stress, and life changes by teaching practical ways to move forward despite discomfort.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with behavior changes. It is useful for depression, anxiety, sleep and eating issues, and building concrete coping skills.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can help people manage intense emotions and reduce reactive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods that suit them. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted over time as priorities change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, keep continuity through life transitions, and reach people who live outside the local area or prefer remote care.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
