About Otis
Otis Mann is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 15 years of experience. He works with adults who are dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, anxiety, and the everyday stresses of family life.
Mann focuses on practical conversations. He leans on Solution-Focused approaches that spot what is already working and build from there. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. He also incorporates mindfulness techniques to slow strong emotions and improve moment-to-moment coping.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal oriented. Mann treats the person in front of him as the expert on their own life and prefers short-term, problem-solving steps when that fits. He has experience working with people who struggle with substance issues and criminal justice involvement, and he has familiarity with military and aerospace communities.
Mann has used written exposure methods when working with complex post-traumatic stress reactions. That approach involves guided, structured writing to process difficult memories and reduce their power over everyday life. He combines that with client-centered conversation and solution-focused planning when needed.
People who come for help often want clear next steps, better coping tools, or help managing relationships and family strain. He invites focused, practical work on those problems, with attention to what a person already does well and what small changes might make life more manageable.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Otis draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the thoughts and actions that keep problems going and to practice small, concrete changes that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which focuses on identifying current strengths and quick, practical steps toward clearer goals. This approach can be helpful for relationship strain, parenting stress, and life transitions.
The therapist treats choosing an approach as a collaborative task. He will work with clients to decide which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Session logistics and formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Many people find online appointments easier to fit into work and family schedules, and some prefer a shorter check-in or audio-only meetings when that helps with bandwidth or time constraints. Talk with the therapist during the initial contact about what will work best for your day-to-day routine.
