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, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, ADHD, and related issues. Julie also lists focused work around abandonment, attachment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and codependency.
She offers a straightforward, interactive counseling style. Sessions are practical and conversational. She encourages clients to make informed choices and to keep their independence and dignity while they work on change.
Julie uses a mix of approaches to meet everyday concerns. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, existential ideas, and solution-focused techniques. That combination is used to address emotional symptoms and specific problems such as substance use, communication problems, and coping with life changes.
In sessions she helps people identify strengths and clear next steps. She talks through patterns that keep problems going and practices skills to try between meetings. Work can include stabilizing after trauma, managing mood shifts, and building routines that reduce stress.
Julie treats adults in Texas and runs work geared toward real-life demands. She asks for a short intake to clarify goals and then co-designs a plan for moving forward. For adults handling parenting stress, strained family ties, or personal recovery, she offers practical, steady support.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Julie blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in a practical way. ACT focuses on clarifying values and committing to actions that matter, which can help people feeling stuck by family stress or life changes. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.She takes a collaborative approach to finding the right methods. The therapist and client will talk about goals, try approaches, and adjust what’s used based on how helpful it feels. That gives space to combine ACT, CBT, or client-centered listening as needed.
Confirm current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It also lets people continue therapy through moves or life changes while keeping the same licensed professional. The focus is on practical support that fits into everyday life and on choosing approaches that match the client’s needs and preferences.
