About Edmore
Edmore Mangena is an Alaska Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 16 years of clinical experience. He helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, respond to trauma and abuse, and work through grief and loss. His practice also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, anger, self-esteem, and life changes.
Edmore focuses on straightforward conversations. He encourages people to say what is on their mind and to notice what gets in the way of change. Sessions are practical and paced to match what someone can handle. He keeps things direct and plain so the next steps are clear.
Clients often come with complicated home situations or hard endings. He listens for patterns that fuel repeated conflict or isolation. Rather than long theoretical talks, he aims to identify small shifts that reduce stress and improve daily functioning. He will work with you to set simple goals and rehearse new ways of responding.
He also supports people dealing with specific crises such as domestic violence, divorce and separation, or natural disaster impact. Issues like panic attacks, postpartum depression, and substance problems are included in his practice. He pays attention to guilt, shame, and forgiveness as part of recovering from painful events.
Edmore offers a steady, plainspoken approach for adults handling family and parenting pressures or personal struggles. If you want clear steps to manage feelings and improve routine interactions at home, he can help you plan them.
How sessions work
Approaches used and what online work looks like
Edmore describes his practice as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and improve daily routines. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviors. This helps with anxiety, panic, and low mood by giving practical skills to test and change reactions.Another approach emphasizes gradual exposure to feared situations or memories, paired with coping strategies. That method can reduce avoidance and help people regain control after trauma, panic attacks, or overwhelming stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. He works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit your goals and preferences. You and he will review what helps and adjust techniques as needed rather than sticking to a single plan.

Licensed professionals often use those practical benefits to keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
