About Julie

Julie Chinni is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults who want help managing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and family concerns, ADHD, and grief. She also supports people coping with bipolar symptoms, anger, career strain, and life changes.

Julie uses straightforward conversation and active listening in sessions. She respects each person's right to make their own decisions and to take responsibility for them. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on building the strengths a person already has.

Her background includes helping people address current and past trauma and problems related to substance use. She has experience with attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and challenges like codependency and dissociation.

Julie draws on several therapeutic methods to match what a person needs. Her listed approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, existential ideas, and solution-focused techniques. Conversations tend to be interactive, with clear goals and homework when useful.

People who come to Julie are often looking to reduce symptoms, clarify what matters to them, and make daily changes that fit their life. She encourages independence, dignity, and respect while helping people address the patterns that started in their family of origin and continue to affect them now.

How Julie uses common approaches in online work

Julie often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that align with those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.

She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and understanding a person's perspective, helping clients feel heard while they set their own goals. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process; Julie will work with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way.

The practical benefits of online sessions can include fitting appointments into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Please confirm the exact session formats offered before booking so you know whether video or another format is available. Online work can support regular check-ins, skill practice between meetings, and shorter follow-ups when needed.
