About Manuel
Dr. Manuel Evangelista offers a calm, thoughtful approach for people dealing with mood, attention, and life-change challenges. He is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Utah with 21 years of experience.
His style suits someone who wants steady presence, practical tools, and attention to meaning as they work through symptoms. He draws on a mix of psychological and social ideas alongside mindfulness and spiritual practices. Sessions emphasize acceptance, learning to tolerate hard emotions, and building habits that support clearer thinking and steadier behavior.
Background and approach
He uses practical exercises as well as reflective conversation to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. Dr. Evangelista has worked with adults across many concerns including anxiety, depression, bipolar conditions, ADHD, trauma, addictions, and issues around gender and identity.
He brings both clinical training and personal experience with healing to his work, and he coordinates with prescribers when medication is part of a plan. Therapy can include short skills practice, mindfulness exercises, and talking through difficult life events to find clearer direction.
He offers options for individual and group formats and focuses on helping people move beyond symptom control toward more balance in daily life. People who prefer a thoughtful, acceptance-focused approach tend to find his style helpful. He works in English and offers sessions through several remote formats for those living in Utah.
Approach and options for online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and dealing with chronic stress or attention difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors; it often includes small, practical exercises for mood, sleep, and attention problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help people stay present during hard moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Evangelista will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. He combines acceptance-based practices, skill-building, and reflective conversation so the plan can change as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people practice skills together and use visual cues. Phone visits are a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, skill reminders, or people who prefer written check-ins. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy days.
