About Julie

Julie Chinni is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of experience. She works with adults and teens who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, substance concerns, relationship issues, ADHD, trauma, and other life challenges. Her approach is warm and interactive and she encourages people to make informed choices about their care.

Julie aims to help people build on their existing strengths and talents. She creates a nonjudgmental space where clients keep their independence and dignity while they work on change. She emphasizes collaboration and respects each person’s right to make decisions and accept related risks.

In sessions she focuses on practical ways to reduce the symptoms that prompted someone to seek help. That can include talking through immediate problems, learning skills to manage strong emotions, and finding new ways to handle relationships and daily stress. She supports people coping with grief, anger, career transitions, chronic health challenges, and addiction concerns.

Julie uses several therapeutic approaches tailored to each person’s needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques. She adapts tools to fit real life rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. This helps people try things between sessions and notice what works.

People who choose Julie can expect an encouraging, goal-oriented style that focuses on small, manageable changes. She invites clients to begin by identifying what matters most to them and then building steps toward those goals.

How therapy approaches guide online sessions

Julie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among other methods. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily demands, and together they will choose or blend methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel, or try a focused check-in during a break. Some people appreciate fewer disruptions to their schedule, while others like the ability to practice skills in everyday settings. A licensed therapist can explain which session style might best match a person’s needs and routines.
