About Julia

Julia Donnini is a Texas-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, mood concerns, relationship difficulties, and ADHD among other challenges.

Background and approach

She frames therapy around each person's inherent dignity and capacity for change, offering practical tools and steady support to help clients move toward goals that matter to them. Her style is described as warm, understanding, and strengths-oriented, creating a space where clients can speak honestly about feelings and thoughts.

Julia draws from evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques to tailor work to the individual. Early sessions typically include collaborative goal-setting to provide direction while allowing goals to evolve as needs shift.

With three years of clinical experience, Julia has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, substance and behavioral addictions, trauma, and relationship struggles. She emphasizes honoring all parts of a person during the therapeutic process and aims to partner with clients as they build skills, resilience, and meaningful change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and meeting clients where they are; online sessions allow the therapist to reflect concerns, validate experiences, and collaborate on goals in a way that centers the client's perspective. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and learning concrete skills to change them, which works well through goal-oriented online sessions and shared homework between meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can be taught and practiced in remote sessions through role-play, skills coaching, and real-time feedback.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens together. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to clarify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust strategies as progress and preferences become clearer.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides practical flexibility for scheduling and for maintaining consistency during life transitions. These formats can make it easier to engage in regular sessions, continue skills practice between meetings, and access care from wherever a person is located within the therapist's service area.
