About Otis
Otis Mann is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage anger and related concerns. He also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, stress, relationship strain, self-esteem, and other life changes. He practices in a straightforward, problem-focused way.
He leans on Solution-Focused Therapy and Client-Centered ideas to help people identify what they want to change and find small steps toward that goal. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness tools when patterns of thought and behavior are getting in the way.
Background and approach
Otis has 15 years of experience working with people who have substance problems and with those involved in the criminal justice system. He is familiar with the military and aerospace communities and brings that background into sessions when it is relevant to someone's situation. He integrates practical exercises, short-term goal setting, and written exposure techniques when trauma is part of the problem.
Sessions tend to be direct and goal oriented, with an emphasis on what the person wants to try between meetings. People who choose him can expect a collaborative approach. He frames himself as a helper who follows the person's lead and suggests strategies that fit their life and values.
Language offered is English and he works with people within Texas.

Approach and online therapy options
Otis commonly uses Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and goal oriented; it helps people identify what’s already working and build small, practical steps toward change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy examines thought and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, anger, and depression.He also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people notice their reactions and create moment-to-moment choices. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan to fit the person’s needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when that helps progress. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not convenient. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, daily coping prompts, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into a busy life.
