About Otis
Otis Mann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with anger, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship and family concerns, and a range of other life challenges. He also supports those facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, and work-related strains tied to industries like military and aerospace.
Otis prefers a practical, short-term way of working. He often uses Solution-Focused Therapy that leans on a client's own strengths and goals. He describes himself as a helper who listens and guides rather than simply giving answers. That approach aims to clarify small, workable changes a person can try between sessions.
He also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and habit that keep anger and other difficulties active. For clients with complex trauma he has experience using Written Exposure Therapy as part of trauma-focused work. Sessions typically focus on concrete strategies and clear next steps.
Otis has worked with people who have had substance problems and those who have been incarcerated, on probation, or on parole. He is familiar with Christian perspectives and with people from military and aerospace settings, while maintaining a secular approach in counseling. He provides care in English and practices in Texas.
To begin, he asks people to outline current concerns and what they hope will change. From there he helps set achievable goals and tracks progress through short-term methods and practical exercises.
How his approaches translate to online work
Otis commonly combines Solution-Focused Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness practices. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows the focus to small, concrete goals and steps clients can test between sessions. CBT looks at thought and behavior patterns that feed anger and helps people practice alternative responses. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills that can reduce reactivity and increase awareness of early warning signs.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. He typically collaborates with each client to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That means trying a few techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress is tracked.
