Julia Markovich, MSW, LCSW
(she/her/hers)
Founder & Clinical Director
I’m Julia Markovich, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with my MSW from NC State University. I specialize in OCD and anxiety-related disorders and work with adults and college students experiencing anxiety, stress, and related concerns.
I provide Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), an evidence-based treatment for OCD and anxiety-related disorders that involves the gradual and systematic exposure to feared thoughts, sensations, or situations while reducing compulsive or avoidant responses. Treatment is collaborative, structured, and tailored to the individual.
My approach to therapy is holistic and integrative, with attention to the interaction between physiological regulation, emotional processes, cognition, behavior, and context. Interventions are selected to support flexibility, resilience, and sustainable change.
I am trained in ERP, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic experiencing, mindfulness-based skills, trauma-informed care, attachment-based work, and motivational interviewing. I am currently completing the Yoga X training program through Stanford, an evidence-informed program integrating yoga, mindfulness, and neuroscience to support stress regulation and mind-body awareness.
I welcome and affirm LGBTQ+ clients and provide a professional, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment. My goal is to support clients in developing skills and insight that promote well-being and functional engagement in daily life.
