Approach-driven online counseling that meets you where you are
Manzie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT focuses on building flexibility so people can live toward what matters even when feelings are difficult.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way. CBT offers practical exercises and steps to change unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviors that reduce stress and anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Manzie works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She will check in together about what’s working and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and styles. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for short updates, brief coaching, or when daily check-ins help keep progress on track.
