Otis Mann

Otis Mann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. He has 15 years of experience helping people manage problems such as addiction, trauma, anger, depression, anxiety, and stress. He uses straightforward language and practical steps to help people move forward.

His work often focuses on solutions rather than long discussions about the past. He leans on Solution-Focused Therapy ideas and treats each person as the expert on their life. Sessions aim to identify small, concrete changes that can add up to real relief.

Otis also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques when those approaches match a person’s goals. These methods are used to spot unhelpful thinking, try new coping strategies, and build steady habits for managing mood and stress.

He has experience with people who have struggled with substance use and with those who have been involved in the criminal justice system. He is familiar with military and aerospace work cultures and brings that practical awareness into sessions when relevant.

Although he is familiar with Christian perspectives, he practices secular counseling and adapts to each person’s beliefs. He has used Written Exposure Therapy for complex post-traumatic stress presentations and combines that with client-focused planning when trauma work is needed.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them clarify goals and priorities. This approach is useful for general life stress, relationship concerns, and building motivation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines patterns of thought and behavior and replaces unhelpful routines with practical alternatives. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with mood swings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity and increase emotional balance, which can help with stress, anger, and trauma symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to emphasize.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available online session options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy day, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and written exposure or CBT worksheets between meetings to keep progress moving.
