Julie Chinni

Julie Chinni is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She works with teens and adults facing problems like depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma, ADHD, and anger. Her approach is warm and interactive, and she focuses on helping people take practical steps toward feeling better.

Julie encourages clients to make informed decisions and take responsibility for those choices. She builds on each person’s existing strengths, talents, and values. Sessions aim to be nonjudgmental and respectful, so people can keep their independence and dignity while they work on change.

In therapy Julie uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods to address stress, coping, and emotional regulation. She also applies trauma-informed strategies when past harm is a concern.

Her style is collaborative and practical. Together with clients she identifies small, doable steps to reduce stressful symptoms and improve daily functioning. Therapy often focuses on clear goals and skills that transfer into everyday life.

Julie emphasizes safety and pacing when trauma or intense emotions come up. She helps clients process difficult experiences while teaching tools for managing distress. For people ready to begin, she supports the first steps toward change and steady progress.

Approaches that guide online work

Julie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take values-based action, even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. This approach often helps with anxiety, stress, and motivation issues.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop alternative behaviors and coping skills. CBT is frequently used for depression, anxiety, and anger management.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Julie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts pacing and techniques as progress is made and as challenges come up.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Practical benefits often include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, easier access when travel is difficult, and shorter check-ins when time is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and skills training to work well in an online format, helping clients practice tools between sessions.
