About Julia
Julia Donnini is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with three years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger, and related struggles. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.
Julia focuses on giving people practical tools and steady support. She helps clients identify small, changeable steps and builds skills they can use between sessions. Conversations are goal-oriented at the start so each visit has direction, but goals can shift as needs change.
Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She also uses Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused techniques when helpful. That mix is used to address mood, behavior, and coping patterns rather than to label a person.
Julia has experience working with people facing substance use and behavioral addictions, and with those who have lived through sexual, physical, or emotional trauma. She also supports people managing parenting stress, relationship strain, sleeping or eating concerns, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue.
In early sessions she helps clients set few clear goals and teaches skills they can try right away. Over time the work adapts as life changes. The aim is steady progress through practical strategies and regular review of what is working.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers conversations on the person's priorities and perspective. In practice that means the therapist listens for what matters most and reflects it back, helping clients notice options and make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on specific thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions can include short exercises, skill coaching, and homework to change unhelpful patterns like reactive anger, avoidance, or worry. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for handling intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It often includes skill practice around distress tolerance and emotion regulation that people can try between meetings.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals and try different techniques to see what helps. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as new challenges appear or progress is made.
The biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm current options before you book. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and let people use brief check-ins or longer sessions as needed. It also allows practicing skills in everyday settings and bringing real-life examples to sessions. These practical benefits help make therapy usable alongside the rest of life.
