About Julie
Julie Chinni is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of experience. She works with teens and adults and supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, substance concerns, ADHD, and past or current trauma. Julie aims to create a warm, interactive space where clients can talk through what matters to them and make informed choices about next steps.
She focuses on building strengths and practical skills. Sessions emphasize respect, independence, and treating people without judgment. Julie helps clients break down problems into manageable steps and practices techniques that fit day-to-day life.
Her approach draws on a mix of methods, including acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral tools. She uses these to help people manage strong emotions, change unhelpful patterns, and cope with life transitions. Julie also incorporates solution-focused and existential perspectives when useful.
Clients can expect a collaborative style where the therapist and client set goals together. Julie encourages people to take responsibility for choices while offering guidance and structure. She pays attention to how past events and attachment patterns affect present relationships and behavior.
If someone is carrying grief, codependency worries, anger, or struggles with relationships or addiction, Julie helps create steps to move forward. She supports people as they practice new ways of responding, build on their skills, and test changes between sessions.
How her approaches guide online care
Julie often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still act toward what matters to them. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and try practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods that fit those needs. That planning is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the therapist's current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also allow the therapist to use worksheets, breathing exercises, and behavioral homework that clients can practice between meetings.
