Julie Chinni, LPC

Julie Chinni is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She offers a warm, interactive counseling style and focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, addiction, and related concerns. Julie emphasizes respect, dignity, and the client’s ability to make informed choices as therapy moves forward.

She aims to create a judgment-free space where clients can build on strengths and personal resources. Sessions are collaborative and practical. Julie helps people identify small, achievable steps that address day-to-day symptoms and restore a sense of control.

Her work includes support for challenges such as relationship strain, grief, anger, career transition, and managing ADHD symptoms. She also addresses issues linked to attachment, abandonment, codependency, and communication problems. Julie brings experience working with trauma and both emotional and physical abuse histories.

Julie blends several approaches to fit each person’s needs. She uses techniques that focus on present problems and on values-driven change, together with client-centered listening and practical skill building. The aim is to help people reduce the stressful symptoms that led them to seek counseling and to regain more stability in daily life.

If someone is ready to begin, Julie encourages that first step and offers support through the process of planning and change.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Julie commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening, empathy, and supporting the person’s own goals and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes practical skills to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors that maintain stress and anxiety.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt techniques to match those needs. This partnership helps guide whether the emphasis is skills practice, values work, or reflective listening.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, fewer travel needs, or the choice to work without video when that feels better. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and exercises so therapy fits everyday routines while focusing on reducing stressful symptoms and building practical coping strategies.
