About Stasia
Stasia Manak is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with nine years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, compassion fatigue, addictions, LGBT concerns, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes.
Her approach starts with listening. She shapes conversations and plans around what each person brings to the room. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than abstract theory. Stasia uses straightforward talk and collaborative planning to address immediate concerns and everyday problems.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to make room for each person’s experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change thought and behavior patterns that keep them stuck. Mindfulness practices are used to improve attention and reduce reactivity. Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of her work when past harm continues to affect daily life.
Stasia has experience helping people who face caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, blended family concerns, body image, codependency, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and family of origin wounds. She also supports those dealing with first responder stress, fatherhood concerns, forgiveness work, and career-related strain.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Stasia uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s perspective and priorities. That approach means sessions begin by hearing what matters most and shaping conversations around those concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; online sessions make it easy to practice strategies between meetings and review what worked.Mindfulness techniques are used to reduce reactivity and strengthen attention. These are taught in short, practical exercises that can be practiced in daily life. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which combination of methods fits best for their goals and situation; finding the right approach is part of the work rather than a single choice made at the start.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people try strategies at home and bring examples from real life into conversation. The therapist helps structure sessions so strategies are practical and usable between meetings.
