About Julie
Julie Mannarino greets people with a calm, direct approach. She is a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania with 12 years of experience. Julie focuses on everyday struggles like stress, worry, career strain, and low moods.
She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful. Julie creates a straightforward space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. She listens for what matters most and helps identify small, practical steps clients can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Many clients come for help with anxiety, depression, relationship hurts, parenting stress, and life transitions. Her work also addresses more specific concerns such as obsessive thoughts and compulsions, postpartum depression, bipolar mood patterns, and issues around intimacy, infidelity, or jealousy. Julie supports people working through grief, anger, and struggles with self-esteem.
She also helps those exploring career direction and life purpose. Julie draws from several therapy styles to match each person’s needs. She blends acceptance-based and mindfulness practices with practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and habits.
For relationship-focused work she uses principles from the Gottman Method to improve communication and problem-solving. Sessions are offered in English and available by video, phone, chat, or text messaging. Julie uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows based on therapist availability.
How Julie Uses Practical Approaches Online
Julie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose values-based actions instead of getting stuck. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where avoidance has taken over.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns and try specific behavioral experiments. CBT is a hands-on way to reduce worry, shift low mood, and change habits that cause struggle.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Julie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods that match their needs. She checks in over time and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions offer flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face from their own schedules. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, coaching-style support, and a way to stay connected between longer sessions.
