Julie Korona

Julie Korona is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, ADHD-related focus difficulties, and major life changes. Julie describes helping people sort through concentration and memory worries while addressing practical challenges that affect daily life.

Her approach centers on straightforward conversation and problem-solving. She uses client-centered therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and to learn skills for managing intense emotions.

Julie also draws on motivational interviewing to clarify goals and boost readiness for change. Solution-focused techniques help set small, achievable steps when larger goals feel overwhelming. Sessions emphasize concrete tools you can try between meetings.

She has worked across issues that often come together, such as caregiving stress, attachment concerns, codependency, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or guilt. Julie can help people address aging and geriatric issues, blended family stress, hoarding tendencies, and the emotional fallout after disasters.

Conversations are paced to each person’s needs and preferences. Julie helps people break down what feels unmanageable into practical steps. To start, she asks about current struggles, what has helped before, and what small changes would make life feel more workable.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. In practice this means conversations that clarify priorities, values, and what feels most urgent. This approach helps when someone is unsure what to work on next or wants to talk through life purpose questions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT exercises are often paired with homework tasks and short experiments to test new ways of thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions run high.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie collaborates with clients to choose or combine methods that match their goals, day-to-day demands, and how they prefer to work. That collaboration includes checking in and adjusting methods if something isn’t helpful.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments and can reduce travel time. Some people find shorter check-ins work better during busy weeks, while others prefer longer sessions to dig deeper into life changes and relationship concerns.
