About Julie

Julie Chinni is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship strain, grief, anger, career concerns, bipolar symptoms, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Julie also addresses related areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, and communication problems.

Julie uses straightforward conversation and active listening. She encourages people to make their own choices and to take responsibility for those decisions. Sessions focus on building on existing strengths and practical ways to reduce stressful symptoms that brought someone to counseling.

Her way of working blends several therapeutic approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take action even when anxiety or difficult feelings are present. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the person’s perspective and priorities.

Julie aims for sessions that are interactive and goal-oriented. She supports people who are managing trauma, addiction, or long-term stress with concrete steps and coping strategies. Conversations move from understanding a problem to choosing workable next steps.

People choosing to work with Julie begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling their first session. She practices in Texas and provides services in English.

How Julie’s approaches translate to online work

Julie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and avoidance. CBT sessions often include specific exercises and homework to practice between meetings.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take action even when anxiety is present. ACT focuses on values-based steps rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable feeling.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Julie will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest techniques that fit your situation. Together you decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove the need to travel. Talk with Julie about how sessions can be arranged to suit your schedule and daily life.
