Otis Mann, LPC

Otis Mann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, codependency, ADHD, and related concerns.

He often uses Solution-Focused ideas, putting priority on the person's own goals and practical steps they can use between sessions. He describes his role as a helper who supports the client's own problem-solving rather than running a long series of interpretations.

Otis also draws on Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches to help people notice thought and behavior patterns that keep them stuck. He uses clear, short-term strategies alongside longer trauma-focused work when needed. Written Exposure Therapy has been used in his work with complex trauma.

Clients who have substance problems and those with criminal justice involvement are part of his background. He has considerable familiarity with military and aerospace cultures, and he recognizes how faith can matter to some people while keeping counseling secular when requested.

In sessions he favors practical, action-oriented steps: identifying small changes, practicing new responses, and checking what works. That often means concrete homework, brief skill practice, and focused discussion on coping with life changes, anger, caregiver stress, or ongoing substance concerns.
