Dr. Julie McCune, LPCC

Dr. Julie McCune is an Ohio-based Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of experience. She greets people without judgment and focuses on meeting them where they are. Her approach emphasizes practical steps that can ease daily life and restore a sense of balance.

Dr. McCune works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship strain. She helps clients build coping skills for anger management, parenting and co-parenting challenges, and work-life balance. She also provides support around addictions, intimacy concerns, and self-esteem issues.

Her background includes a master’s degree in Counseling and a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, plus longstanding work in private practice and community mental health. That mix informs how she blends structured techniques with person-focused care.

In sessions she draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness techniques, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Those methods are used to teach concrete tools - for example, skills to manage strong emotions, shift unhelpful thinking, and build better communication.

People who choose her often want down-to-earth help they can use right away. She aims to make therapy understandable and practical, focusing on goals clients name and steps they can try between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches for online counseling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and then take small actions that fit those values. It often focuses on reducing the impact of distressing thoughts so life can move forward despite difficulty.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress and emphasizes steps you can practice between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful when emotions become overwhelming or when communication repeatedly breaks down.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and what feels most useful. That may mean trying one approach first and adapting as progress is made.

If you plan to try online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. The biography notes availability via message, phone, or text, and flexible hours, so check what is offered for scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time while still focusing on practical skills and emotional work.
