About Julie

Julie Chinni is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and related concerns. Julie describes a practical, interactive counseling style that focuses on clients' strengths and decision-making.

She offers direct, straightforward conversations about what is happening now and what has led to it. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings - for example managing strong emotions, handling workplace frustration, or changing patterns that keep returning. Julie encourages clients to keep independence and dignity while making choices about their lives.

Her work addresses a wide range of issues beyond mood and anxiety. That includes ADHD, bipolar concerns, grief, relationship and family stress, career problems, and coping with life changes. She also lists deeper focus areas such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, caregiving strain, chronic pain or illness, and substance use issues.

Therapeutic approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These methods are used to help people notice thoughts and behaviors, try new responses, and set achievable goals.

Julie aims for an interactive, nonjudgmental tone. She works with people who want concrete change and practical tools for handling anger, resentment, or repeated conflict. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site's intake steps and schedule a first session.

How her approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps aligned with their values. It can be useful for anger, avoidance, or when frustration keeps showing up in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotional reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Julie will discuss different methods with each person and decide together which fits best based on symptoms, goals, and what the person prefers. That collaborative planning can change as progress is made or new challenges appear.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can help fit counseling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. People often use online meetings to do focused skill practice, short check-ins during a workday, or standard-length sessions when getting to an office is difficult. Confirm the exact session options available when you schedule.
