About Julie

Dr. Julie McCune is an Ohio LPCC with 25 years of clinical experience. She holds a doctoral degree in clinical psychology and a master’s degree in counseling. Her work focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, trauma and many related issues including blended family matters.

She describes a practical approach to therapy. Sessions often center on developing coping skills and tools to manage stress, anger, and anxiety. She also supports people working through separation, divorce, and grief, and those trying to rebuild self-esteem after loss.

Her method draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness exercises to change unhelpful patterns. She also uses dialectical behavior strategies and elements of emotionally focused work to address strong feelings and communication problems. These methods are used to help people notice patterns and try small, concrete changes.

In practice she emphasizes skill-building for everyday life. That can mean steps for managing mood, approaches for handling conflicts, or routines to improve sleep and eating. She also works with people facing career stress, caregiver strain, addiction concerns, and adjustment after major life changes.

She offers support to people navigating parenting and co-parenting challenges, including blended family issues. Sessions are described as straightforward and action-oriented, with attention to realistic strategies that fit a person's daily life. To begin, she asks people to describe their main concerns and goals so sessions can focus on the next practical steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. Online ACT sessions often focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying specific behaviors that align with a person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns. CBT sessions typically include homework practices that people can use between meetings to test new ways of responding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, symptoms, and daily life. That may mean trying a technique for a few sessions and adjusting based on how well it helps with stress, mood, or relationship concerns.

Confirm the current session formats before booking. The original biography mentions availability via message, phone, and text, so ask which of those options are offered now. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy schedule easier - shorter check-ins, sessions without travel, or quick phone or text touchpoints between meetings. Therapists and licensed professionals aim to match approaches and formats so sessions support real-life changes without adding extra burden.
