Otis Mann, LPC

Otis Mann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing addiction, trauma, grief, anger, depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and family strain, eating and self-esteem concerns, career issues, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and major life changes. He also supports people coping with abandonment, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, and challenges tied to divorce or separation. Otis notes experience with first responder issues and with people affected by substance problems and the criminal justice system.

He brings 15 years of counseling work to each session and approaches clients with a solution-focused mindset. He emphasizes that the person in the chair knows themselves best, and he works as a helper alongside them. His practice includes Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy.

Otis has familiarity with military and aerospace workplace cultures and with Christian faith contexts, though he emphasizes secular counseling when that is what the client prefers. He has used Written Exposure Therapy for complex post-traumatic stress presentations. The LPC credential means he is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas.

Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Otis listens to what matters most and then helps people identify small, workable steps. He balances direct strategies from CBT and solution-focused work with mindfulness and trauma-focused methods when appropriate.

People who want straightforward conversations about coping, recovery, or life transitions may find his style direct and supportive. He encourages collaboration on goals and respects each person’s values and pace.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Otis uses Client-Centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective and goals. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and helping clients shape their own solutions, which can fit well into remote conversations and check-ins.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical approach that looks at patterns of thinking and behavior. It often involves setting small, specific tasks and tracking progress, which works well for structured online sessions and brief homework between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. That might mean starting with solution-focused work and adding mindfulness or trauma-focused techniques as trust builds.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered. Confirm current options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use written exercises and between-session tasks that complement CBT and mindfulness practices.
