About Otis
Otis Mann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, stress, and ADHD. He focuses on practical steps people can use right away to manage day-to-day struggles.
Otis favors a straightforward, collaborative style. He treats people as the experts on their own lives and helps them build on their strengths.
Background and approach
Conversations are goal-oriented and often focus on short-term strategies that fit a person's life. He uses techniques drawn from solution-focused work and cognitive behavioral approaches to help change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness practices are used when they fit a person's goals, for grounding and emotional regulation.
Trauma-focused methods have been used in longer-standing trauma work. Many clients he has worked with have struggled with substance issues and involvement with the justice system. He is familiar with military and aerospace work cultures and respects a wide range of personal beliefs, including Christian perspectives, while providing secular counseling.
In sessions he often combines listening with concrete tools: setting small goals, practicing new reactions, and tracking progress. He encourages people to notice what is already working and to build on those steps. The approach aims to make therapy practical and relevant to everyday life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working from the client's own goals. The therapist focuses on understanding a person's perspective and supporting their choices, which helps when people need a trusted space to sort through priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and for building clearer routines and strategies around ADHD challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and is done together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan over time. That collaborative process helps make sure the work fits daily life.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people use visual cues and more face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use a camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, and support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep practicing skills between meetings.
