About Julia, MSW, LCSW
I’m Julia Markovich, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with my MSW from NC State University. I work with adults and college students who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that feel hard to break.
Maybe you’ve been holding a lot — managing responsibilities, trying to meet everyone’s expectations, or keeping up a high-achieving front while feeling exhausted underneath.
You might be navigating perfectionism, big emotions, intrusive thoughts, identity shifts, or feeling disconnected from yourself.
You don’t have to navigate any of this alone.
I welcome and affirm LGBTQ+ clients and strive to create a space where every part of you feels seen, supported, and safe.
My style is warm, calm, and down-to-earth. Therapy with me is a place where you can slow down, take a breath, and talk honestly without worrying about being judged or “too much.”
I’m trained in ERP, ACT, somatic experiencing, trauma-informed care, DBT skills, attachment-based work, and motivational interviewing. I blend these approaches gently and intentionally, always adjusting to what feels comfortable, empowering, and doable for you.
We’ll work together to build insight, explore what’s keeping you stuck, and strengthen your motivation to move toward the life you want.
I support adults, young adults, and college students dealing with anxiety, OCD, stress, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, intrusive thoughts, identity exploration, and the emotional weight that comes with trying to do it all. If you’re seeking help for OCD specifically, we can incorporate exposure work in a steady, collaborative way that honors your pace.
My hope is for you to feel understood, grounded, and more in control — and to slowly reconnect with the version of yourself that feels steady, confident, and truly at home in your life.
