Meet Julie Hattershire | Virtual therapist in Ohio

Hi, I’m Julie Hattershire, your dedicated and licensed virtual therapist in Ohio. I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW-S) offering both online and in-person therapy for clients based in Ohio.

Based on decades of professional experience, I approach therapy with a nuanced understanding of life’s complexities and challenges. I’m here to offer my empathy, expertise, and support in an approach to therapy that prioritizes your unique needs.

My expertise extends to a broad range of challenges, from anxiety and depression to couples counseling to major life transitions and more. I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse client base over decades, which helps me address your needs with a nuanced, compassionate, and person-centered approach.

In online therapy sessions, we work together to establish a sense of safety, compassion, and non-judgment. In this space, you have a chance to explore your thoughts, feelings, and concerns openly and with support. I incorporate tools and techniques from several evidence-based therapeutic modalities to offer you a customized roadmap for therapy. Whether you want help dealing with daily stressors, delving into your emotions, or cultivating positive relationships, I’m here to empower you.

In my practice, I consider your whole being. I don’t view you as a set of symptoms but instead as a whole being in mind, body, and spirit. I’ve seen how compassionately-led, trauma-informed therapy can transform lives, and I want to help you achieve that transformation. With the right therapy, you will develop a deeper understanding of yourself and come to sense your own path forward. This deeper awareness is yours – I serve as a guide. 

I believe that a holistic approach is the key to true health. We will consider and explore your issues, concerns, and symptoms, but we’ll also cultivate inner strength and resilience to help you keep growing even after therapy. 

I understand that choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision. Take some time to read about my services and assess whether my approach resonates with you. I also know that many people are unclear about the nature of online therapy, so it’s normal to feel hesitant. Let’s take a look at how online therapy can help you.

My online therapy services

As a therapist based in Ohio, I offer both virtual and in-person therapy services. Whether you choose to go online or take sessions in person, know that my approach is based on evidence, experience, and deep compassion. Online counseling and therapy is a great way to meet your needs in the comfort of your own home, especially if transport and location are an obstacle to you getting the help you need. My online therapy services include:

Individual therapy

Also known as one-to-one therapy, individual therapy focuses on you and your needs. I help adults dealing with stress and trauma, anxiety, depression, identity concerns, self-esteem issues, and more. If you’re committed to your personal growth and fostering healthy, positive interpersonal relationships, individual therapy can make a big difference. Learn more about my approach to individual therapy here. 

Couples Therapy

Whether you’re dealing with complex relationship challenges, seeking to strengthen your bond, or going through major life transitions that are affecting your relationship, couples therapy can help. If you’re interested in couples therapy and my approach, you can learn more here.

Counseling for Parents

My therapy and counseling for parents in the state of Ohio creates a supportive, compassionate space for you to explore concerns and challenges with zero judgment. Parents’ therapy helps you explore family challenges, improve family communication, and foster a healthy, harmonious home dynamic. 

Counseling for LGBTQ+

Therapists and counselors must be informed about a client’s unique needs for treatment to be effective. If you’re looking for a safe place to address and explore challenges, dive into self-discovery, and establish a deep sense of belonging, my LGBTQ+ therapy and counseling service is for you. 

Counseling for Men

I help men in search of a female therapist who can support men’s issues, including stress, relationships, and personal development. My men’s therapy service helps you identify the obstacles in the way of your well-being and cultivate the self-awareness, understanding, and emotional resilience necessary to thrive.

Why choose virtual therapy in Ohio?

Experienced Ohio counselors such as myself bring decades of field experience to this online space, offering compassionate and effective therapy in the comfort of your own private space.

Still unsure about going virtual? Let’s take a look at the many benefits of online therapy:

  • Convenience: Virtual therapy lets you connect with a professional therapist from the comfort of your home with no transportation costs. That means that no matter where you are physically located, you don’t have to step into the fast pace of daily life to receive the same services you would receive in person.
  • Flexible scheduling: With online therapy, you have the freedom to choose a session time that suits you so you can adapt your mental health care to your lifestyle. 
  • Increased privacy: All therapy is confidential, but the traditional office setting can be intimidating for some. Enjoy increased privacy and comfort in an online therapy session, accessible from wherever you want to be.
  • Advanced mental health care: Telehealth services such as therapy video sessions are an emerging area of mental health care and are backed by strong research. Services provided and supported by evidence include cognitive behavioral therapy, treatment of eating disorders, management of mood disorders/personality disorders, learning tools for stress management, and goal-setting (to name a few!)

Choosing virtual therapy in Ohio means taking a significant step toward your highest well-being. Online therapy with me is convenient, flexible, and completely confidential. This is a modern model of mental health care that can lead to profound shifts on your journey to health. If you’re ready to experience profound and positive change, reach out for online therapy in Ohio today.

FAQs about online counseling

Yes, online therapy with me is HIPAA-compliant. Confidentiality is crucial to the therapeutic process. My online therapy services strictly follow guidelines set by HIPAA, so you can rest assured knowing that your personal information and topics of discussion are kept completely private. 

Yes. Some clients prefer in-person counseling over virtual, but it’s a matter of preference. I’ve witnessed clients experience profound shifts and transformations in online sessions in a way that proves how virtual therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions.

It’s up to you, but I encourage you to give virtual sessions a try before taking a stance. It’s convenient, flexible, confidential, and adaptable to your needs. Remember that the therapeutic relationship is key to successful therapy. Whether we talk online or in person, I’m dedicated to ensuring that sessions are more than a worthwhile investment.

When it comes to choosing online therapists, consider the therapist’s areas of expertise and approach to therapy. Consider also the rapport you feel in conversation with them. 

I offer a free phone consultation to help you make a more informed decision about therapy. This no-obligation, confidential, and free consultation is an opportunity for us to connect, ask each other questions, and assess how you feel about moving forward with therapy. If you decide that you’d rather try a few other therapists, that’s ok! I encourage you to follow your heart and trust yourself.

Will your insurance cover therapy? Or will you self-pay? Paying for therapy is a real concern for many clients. While insurance providers understand the importance of accessible mental health care, many vary in what they cover – most will only reimburse treatment costs for diagnosed mental illnesses. I’m happy to help you explore your insurance coverage and figure out how we can move forward with sessions.

Absolutely. Many clients in Columbus, Ohio enjoy couples therapy, marriage and family therapy, and pre-marital counseling in an online, private space away from the traditional therapy office. The counseling process is just as effective as in-person, allowing couples to work on building a strong positive relationship.

Here’s a directory for online support groups in Columbus, Ohio catering to various needs, including support groups for domestic violence survivors and therapy clients in recovery from substance abuse.
