About Julie

Julie Korona is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, life changes, and attention or concentration concerns. Julie also lists work related to guilt and shame among her focus areas.

Julie uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters most right now. Sessions commonly look like talking through recent problems, identifying patterns that increase distress, and practicing clearer ways to think and act. She combines hands-on skills with listening to help clients manage day-to-day strain and decision points.

Her approach draws on several practical therapy methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and offers concrete skills to adjust unhelpful thinking. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation grounded in each person's values and pace. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for emotion regulation and dealing with intense moments.

Julie aims to help people untangle shame or guilt tied to family, faith, relationships, or past choices without judging their experience. She works with common life concerns like caregiver stress, blended family issues, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness. She also notes experience with aging and geriatric issues, hoarding, and co-occurring problems.

Sessions are intended to be practical and focused. If someone wants to get started they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a cancelable subscription payment model that varies by location.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. In remote sessions that means the therapist mirrors what matters most and lets the client's pace guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thought, feeling, and behavior links and teaches practical exercises to change those links. Delivered online, CBT can include homework, worksheets, and step-by-step skill practice. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) presents emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills useful for intense moments. Those skills can be taught and practiced in session and then used in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help identify which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made or circumstances shift.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let a person use video, phone, or other supported formats when those are offered. Ask about current session options to choose what works best for scheduling and comfort.
