About Julie

Julie Mannarino is a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, career concerns, and related life challenges.

Background and approach

With 12 years of professional experience, she draws on evidence-informed methods to help clients clarify values, set realistic goals, and develop practical skills for daily life. Her work often addresses mood disorders, grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and parenting concerns while also supporting people facing compassion fatigue, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and emotions and experiment with new coping strategies. Julie combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered principles to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

She also uses mindfulness techniques and, when relevant, elements of the Gottman Method for relationship-focused work. Sessions may include skill-building exercises, values clarification, and collaborative problem solving.

Julie provides services in English and practices from a strengths-based perspective, encouraging self-compassion and practical change. She welcomes individuals who are ready to take a first step toward clearer direction, improved coping, and a greater sense of personal agency.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Work



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical approach that helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more adaptive thinking and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values clarification and mindful acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while encouraging committed action toward meaningful life goals. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathic relationship in which the therapist reflects and validates experiences to help clients access their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie works with clients to determine which methods fit their situation and preferences, adjusting techniques as goals evolve. She aims to combine practical skills with values-focused work so that therapy matches each person's priorities and pace.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow consistent contact during life transitions, and let clients choose how they communicate based on comfort and convenience.
