About Julie
Julie Mannarino is a Pennsylvania Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, career struggles, depression, anger, and related life challenges. Julie focuses on practical conversations that help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people tolerate difficult feelings while making values-based choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her work when clients want to examine the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Julie also draws on Client-Centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person's own goals and priorities.
In sessions she listens for how everyday routines and relationships affect mood and tension. That can mean looking at thought patterns, practicing new responses, or building simple habits to reduce stress. She sometimes uses elements of the Gottman Method around relationship issues when communication and connection are a concern.
Julie’s approach is straightforward. She helps people set small, doable steps and measures what changes. She talks through setbacks and adjusts plans so progress is realistic rather than all-or-nothing.
Her training and methods are practical and aimed at the problems people bring, such as parenting strain, grief, compulsions, workplace frustration, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are conducted in English and based in Pennsylvania.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Julie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice unwanted feelings and still move toward things that matter to them. CBT focuses on identifying and changing the thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and anxiety active.She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to help clients slow down reactivity and notice physical and emotional cues. These methods are useful for stress, anger, workplace frustration, and relationship tension because they teach concrete skills to try between sessions.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Julie will work with the client to see which methods match their goals and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time based on what the client finds helpful and what kinds of issues come up in everyday life.
The practical aim of online work is to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Confirm the available session formats before booking to know whether a video or phone option is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule short check-ins, reduce travel time, and keep momentum between appointments.
