Julie Chinni is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of experience supporting teenagers and adults. She has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns, including substance abuse, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, and experiences of emotional and physical abuse.

Her counseling approach is warm and interactive, grounded in respect for each person’s ability to make informed choices and assume responsibility for those decisions.

Throughout the work she encourages clients to preserve their independence, dignity, and sense of self as they pursue change.

Recognizing that seeking help takes courage, she is committed to offering services aimed at reducing the stressful symptoms that bring people to therapy. When someone is ready to take a first step, she is prepared to provide support and guidance as they move toward their goals.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy

Julie Chinni draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying values and taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and support, giving clients space to explore their experiences and make choices at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to change them, which can be helpful for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. This shared decision making helps tailor the work to what will be most useful for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be done by video call or phone, and additional options such as live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to stay connected between appointments. These formats can increase access to consistent care and allow therapy to fit more easily into varied schedules, while still involving licensed professionals who guide the therapeutic work.
