Julie Mannarino, LCSW

Julie Mannarino is a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and career concerns. She keeps things straightforward and practical so parents and busy adults can get clear steps they can use right away.

She creates a calm, open space where people can say what they really think and feel. Sessions focus on concrete skills and small changes that add up over time. Julie uses a blend of approaches to fit each person’s needs rather than one fixed method.

Julie has twelve years of clinical experience and brings that background into everyday language during sessions. She listens first, then works with clients to set clear goals and track progress. That makes therapy feel like a collaboration instead of a lecture.

Her work includes support for relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, grief, and coping with major life changes. She also supports people dealing with obsessive thoughts, mood disorders, postpartum depression, and ADHD-related challenges.

Julie draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside mindfulness and acceptance strategies to help people notice thought patterns and try new behaviors. She also uses client-centered approaches to keep sessions focused on each person's priorities. Practical tools, steady support, and gradual changes are central to her style.

Practical approaches for online care and everyday challenges

Julie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT helps with anxiety, low mood, and worry by teaching concrete skills to manage thinking and actions.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which encourages noticing difficult feelings without letting them control behavior. ACT can help when people want to move toward what matters despite uncomfortable emotions. Client-centered work is part of her approach too, which means sessions are built around what each person finds most important and paced to their needs.

Finding the right approach happens together. Julie will listen to your concerns, explain options, and try methods that fit your goals and preferences. She adjusts the mix of techniques across sessions based on what helps you make steady progress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you connect face-to-face when you want a deeper conversation. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you need a quicker check-in. Live chat and text work well for brief updates, tools between sessions, and people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules and different communication styles.
