About Julie

Julie Chinni is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults and teens on concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, relationship strain, grief, and anger. Julie has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse as well as neurodivergent presentations like ADHD and autism spectrum-related challenges.

Her approach is interactive and client-centered. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Julie encourages people to make informed choices and to keep their dignity while they address difficult feelings and behaviors.

She draws on several evidence-based methods to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to look at thinking patterns and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and tolerate uncomfortable emotions without getting overwhelmed.

Julie also uses solution-focused work to set short-term goals and existential ideas to discuss meaning and responsibility when life shifts. These methods are combined to create clear, manageable plans rather than long lists of abstract ideas.

Many clients come with immediate concerns like stress at work, anger that surfaces at home, or the fallout from past trauma. Sessions aim to reduce those stressful symptoms and build skills for handling future triggers. To begin, people choose the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Julie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on helping people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action in line with their values; it can be helpful for anger, avoidance, or ongoing stress. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and anger responses.

She also incorporates client-centered and solution-focused ideas to keep sessions practical. Figuring out which approach fits is part of the process. The therapist and client work together to pick methods that match the client’s goals, preferences, and everyday constraints rather than committing to only one framework from the start.

If you plan to meet online, confirm the current session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to schedule regular check-ins, fit short sessions into a busy day, or reduce travel time. It also allows sessions to focus on skill practice, behavioral experiments, and goal-setting that translate into everyday life without promising a particular service.
