Julie Chinni, LPC

Julie Chinni is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of practice. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to ease overwhelming feelings. Her approach is warm and interactive and she aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space for conversation.

She draws on several evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and trauma. Sessions often center on identifying strengths, clarifying values, and building small, doable skills to handle daily challenges. Julie encourages clients to make informed choices and take responsibility for the changes they want to see.

Her work also addresses relationship strain, family concerns, grief, anger, career transitions, bipolar mood management, and attention-related difficulties. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, body image, chronic pain and illness, codependency, and substance use concerns. She has experience helping people cope with past and current trauma.

Julie’s style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens attentively, reflects back what she hears, and helps clients map out practical next steps. The goal is to preserve a person’s dignity while working toward better daily functioning and clearer priorities.

If someone is ready to begin, Julie supports taking the first step and works with each person to set realistic goals and build on their existing strengths.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values despite painful thoughts or feelings. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical behavior changes to reduce distress and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time and checks in about what is or isn’t helpful so the plan can change as progress happens.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to continue work on coping skills between appointments. Ask about specific session options and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
