About Otis
Otis Mann is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, eating issues, self-esteem struggles, career questions, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and ADHD.
He has experience with people who have substance problems and with those who have been incarcerated or are under probation or parole. He is also familiar with the military and aerospace communities and has worked with people from those backgrounds. While he knows Christian viewpoints well, he practices secular counseling and centers the client's preferences in sessions.
Otis favors Solution-Focused Brief Therapy as a primary approach and describes his role as a helper who supports clients' own knowledge of themselves. He also uses Client-Centered methods and Mindfulness practices to slow thinking and notice choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of his approach when it fits the client's goals.
He has used Written Exposure Therapy for complex post-traumatic stress situations, and he includes Trauma-Focused techniques when trauma is a central issue. Sessions emphasize practical steps and short-term strategies that clients can try between meetings.
People can expect straightforward, structured work that looks at thoughts, habits, and next steps. Otis draws on different methods to match what the person wants to change and how quickly they want to try new strategies.
How his approaches translate to online work
Otis uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in everyday situations. CBT helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and measure what works for mood, anxiety, or habits.He also uses Solution-Focused Brief Therapy which centers on practical goals and next steps. This approach emphasizes short, concrete tasks clients can try between sessions to build momentum. Client-Centered methods are used to let the client's priorities guide the pace and topic of work.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. He will work with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as needed. That collaborative check-in is built into early sessions so priorities are clear.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people try focused CBT and solution-focused exercises without rearranging a full day.
