Julie Chinni

Julie Chinni is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of experience. She works with teens and adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, substance use, ADHD, and related concerns. Her approach is warm and interactive, and she focuses on helping people make choices that fit their lives.

She centers sessions on each person's strengths and abilities. Julie encourages clients to keep independence and dignity while they work on change. She creates space for people to talk without judgment and to take responsibility for decisions they make.

In the room she uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to address current problems. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and act on them. When trauma or abuse is part of the story, she offers trauma-focused approaches to help clients process what happened and cope with symptoms.

Julie aims to reduce the stressful symptoms that led someone to seek help. She helps people build skills for managing anger, depression, relationship struggles, and substance use. She also supports those navigating grief, career changes, and blended family concerns.

Clients typically find sessions interactive and goal-oriented. Julie helps set clear next steps and practical tasks between meetings. If someone is ready to start, she guides them through initial scheduling and the early planning work.

How Julie’s approaches translate to online care

Julie uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and behavior and then try new, concrete steps to feel better. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many everyday stressors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions that align with those values; it often helps with avoidance, chronic stress, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past to decide together which methods to use. That collaborative planning lets sessions shift if a different focus would be more helpful later on.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and offer flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or school. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and in-session practice to an online setting so clients keep moving toward their goals.
