About Julie
Julie Mannarino is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. She speaks plainly and creates a calm space where people can talk about what feels hard. Her approach is steady and practical, aimed at small changes that add up over time.
Julie draws on several well-known methods to shape sessions around each person's needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
She brings Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to encourage values-driven choices. She also uses Client-Centered and mindfulness practices to keep sessions grounded in the client's experience. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth.
Sessions focus on clear goals, skill-building, and coping strategies for day-to-day life. She helps people identify priorities, reduce overwhelm, and build routines that can ease concentration and mood swings connected to ADHD or other concerns. With twelve years of experience as an LCSW in Pennsylvania, Julie has worked across common life challenges like career transitions, grief, and relationship strain.
She also supports people coping with mood disorders, obsessive thoughts, and postpartum depression. Practical tools are part of the work along with listening and reflection. Parents and people dealing with intimacy, self-esteem, or compassion fatigue can find focused strategies to try between sessions.
The first steps are simple and designed to fit into a busy life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match what matters most. It can be useful for managing ADHD-related frustration, stress, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting thinking patterns that lead to unhelpful behaviors and trying small, practical changes to improve mood and focus. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience in the room and uses empathic listening to help them clarify goals and feel heard.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they adjust methods over time, mixing skills work, values-based planning, and mindful attention to match progress and needs.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when bandwidth and a quieter setting are possible. Phone sessions work well when a slower connection is needed or for easier check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, real-time problem solving, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or treatment schedules while keeping the therapeutic focus consistent.
