Julie Mannarino, LCSW

Julie Mannarino is a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania who helps people handle stress, anxiety, career strain, and depression. She speaks plainly and creates an open space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings without judgment. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges the courage it takes to begin.

With 12 years of experience, Julie uses practical approaches to support change. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and choose values-driven actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different behaviors. Client-centered and mindfulness approaches ground sessions in respect and present-moment awareness.

Julie often addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stresses, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also works with mood disorders, ADHD-related challenges, obsessions and compulsions, postpartum depression, and issues like infidelity or jealousy. Sessions focus on building day-to-day skills and clearer thinking rather than on labels.

In therapy she aims for straightforward conversations and usable strategies. Expect a collaborative process with space to name problems, try small experiments, and track progress. Julie helps clients connect what they value to concrete steps in daily life.

If you want to explore career direction, self-esteem, or coping with life changes, she offers a calm, respectful setting to begin the work.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It often involves simple exercises to clarify what matters and small steps toward those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to change how daily life feels. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room, using supportive, nonjudgmental listening to guide sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that fit their goals and preferences. She reviews what is helping and what feels off, then adjusts the plan together as progress unfolds.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy weeks, reduce travel time, and use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice skills in the context of daily life and bring real-world examples to sessions for immediate discussion.
