Otis MannLPC

Otis Mann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience helping people navigate addiction, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. He speaks plainly in sessions and focuses on practical steps that clients can try between meetings. His background includes work with people affected by substance problems and those who have been incarcerated, on probation, or on parole. He is familiar with the military and aerospace industries and brings that context into his work when it is relevant.

Otis favors a solution-focused style that treats the client as the expert on their own life. He describes himself as a helper who listens, highlights strengths, and supports clients in finding small, workable changes. He also draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions grounded in the client's priorities rather than imposing a roadmap.

For people dealing with trauma, Otis has used Written Exposure Therapy for Complex PTSD as one of several tools. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. Sessions aim to teach concrete skills that translate into daily life.

Otis works from an attitude of collaboration and respect. He will work with you to set clear, achievable goals and adjust the plan as needs change. Many clients appreciate a straightforward approach that emphasizes small gains and steady progress.

If you are considering therapy during pregnancy, childbirth, or the postpartum period, Otis can address related stress, anxiety, or mood concerns alongside other life challenges.

How his approaches work for online therapy

Otis uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person sitting across from him. That means the therapist listens closely, follows the client's priorities, and helps people name goals they care about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another common tool he uses to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Otis will discuss different methods with each person and tailor the plan based on the client's needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together they decide which strategies to try first and how to measure progress over time.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling, fewer travel demands, and the ability to fit brief check-ins into a busy week. Because session formats are not specified in the therapist's background, confirm current session options before booking. The focus is on making therapy fit into everyday life so clients can practice skills between meetings and build routines that support lasting change.
