About Julie
Julie Mannarino is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. She lays out a calm space where clients can talk honestly about what’s hard. Julie aims to make the first step feel doable and supportive for people who are worried about starting therapy.
With 12 years of experience, she draws on several practical approaches to guide sessions. Julie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice difficult thoughts and move toward values-based action.
Background and approach
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build new coping skills. Her style is warm and client-centered. Sessions focus on real-life problems like work stress, relationship strain, grief, or managing mood symptoms.
Julie works with people wrestling with parenting challenges, caregiving strain, or the emotional fallout of life changes. Julie also supports people dealing with intimacy issues, jealousy, infidelity, postpartum depression, and obsessive or compulsive patterns. She offers straightforward tools for pacing emotion, reducing reactivity, and improving daily routines.
Therapy can include short-term coaching around goals or longer work on entrenched patterns. Sessions can be tailored to each person’s pace and priorities, with attention to what fits daily life and family responsibilities.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or compulsive patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding skills to lower reactivity and improve focus during daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will listen to a person’s goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. The plan can change over time, and she collaborates with clients to adjust strategies based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports brief updates or ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, or caregiving demands while using the therapeutic tools discussed above.
