About Julie

Julie Chinni is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with nine years of experience. She works with adults and teens who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, attention concerns, and relationship struggles. Julie aims to create an accepting, nonjudgmental space where people can start again and make clearer choices.

Her approach is warm and interactive. She encourages people to use their strengths and talents while holding them responsible for the decisions they make. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce stressful symptoms and build day-to-day coping skills.

Julie has worked with people who have experienced emotional and physical abuse, substance use concerns, and trauma from the past or present. She also helps those dealing with grief, anger, career transitions, and life changes that feel overwhelming. ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and family-related stress are among other areas she addresses.

She uses several evidence-informed approaches in session, including cognitive behavioral work to spot patterns, acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values, and client-centered conversation that follows the person's pace. Therapy sessions move at a practical, collaborative pace aimed at usable change.

People interested in pregnancy and childbirth topics can mention those concerns when they reach out, and Julie will listen to how those experiences are affecting daily life. To begin, readers are encouraged to select the Start Therapy button and complete the brief matching questionnaire to schedule a session.

Approach-focused online care that fits your day

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small, committed steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with addictive behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, using a compassionate, nonjudgmental stance to let people set the pace and direction of work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and needs, try different techniques, and check in about what helps. Together you will choose methods that match your priorities and daily life rather than assuming a single path from the start.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins that fit into a lunch break, while others make time for longer weekly sessions. Session formats and scheduling details should be confirmed before booking to match your needs and the therapist's options. The focus is on making therapy practical and workable for everyday life while using approaches suited to your concerns.
