About Julia
Julia Donnini is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas who helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or angry find clearer ways forward. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical tools that can be used between sessions. Julia aims to help clients feel more in control and kinder to themselves as they face change.
Her style is warm and direct. She creates space for people to talk about difficult feelings like grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, or struggles with substances and behavior.
Background and approach
Sessions are meant to be straightforward and respectful, not judgmental. Julia draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and client-centered methods to shape the work. She uses techniques from motivational interviewing and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try small changes.
Early sessions usually include setting simple, flexible goals so work has a clear direction. With three years of clinical experience, she has supported people coping with trauma, addiction, relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, and anger. Julia emphasizes skills that can reduce intense reactions and improve daily routines.
People who want practical strategies and a steady, noncritical listener may find her approach helpful. She offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles.

Practical approaches for online therapy
Julia uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT often focuses on small experiments and clear steps that reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change patterns that feed anger.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy, which teaches coping skills for intense emotions and relationship stress. DBT offers breath-based grounding, emotion regulation, and communication skills that can be practiced in daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt techniques as needs change. Together they set short-term goals and adjust plans based on what works.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit a lunch break or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging suits quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep working on skills between sessions.
