About Julie

Julie Chinni is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of clinical experience supporting teens and adults through a range of life challenges. She has worked extensively with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, oppositional behaviors, and relationship difficulties.

Background and approach

Her background also includes helping clients navigate grief, career transitions, bipolar symptoms, and coping with chronic health issues. Her approach is warm, interactive, and client-centered, emphasizing respect for each person’s autonomy and decision-making.

Julie helps clients identify and build on their strengths, talents, and resources while offering practical strategies to reduce distress. She aims to create a nonjudgmental environment where independence and dignity are preserved as clients work toward change.

Julie blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with solution-focused and existential perspectives when appropriate. She supports clients in setting goals that match their values and life context, and she encourages small, sustainable steps that lead to improved coping and functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Julie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients examine how thoughts and behaviors influence emotions and to develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and learning ways to stay present while accepting difficult feelings, often useful for coping with chronic issues and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist works with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Together they explore what feels most helpful and adapt techniques over time so the work remains relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or when in-person visits are impractical. These formats support ongoing access to licensed professionals and allow for consistent progress using practical, evidence-informed tools regardless of where a client is located within Texas.
