Manzaler "Manzie" Lohrey

Manzaler "Manzie" Lohrey is an Arizona Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with six years of experience. She focuses on relationship strain, self-esteem concerns, stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes, and she lists life purpose among her areas of attention. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.

Manzie works in a conversational, client-centered way. She listens for practical patterns that keep people stuck. Then she uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice thoughts and try different actions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when people want clear steps and goals.

She often hears about control issues, commitment fears, abandonment and the kind of loneliness that comes after a big life change. She also addresses trauma and abuse, guilt and shame, and multicultural concerns or experiences of prejudice and discrimination. Work-related stress and compassion fatigue are part of her focus as well.

In sessions she tends to be interactive and goal-directed. Conversations include noticing what matters to a person, mapping small experiments, and building communication skills. For many clients this means focusing on manageable steps rather than long lists of advice.

Her background combines client care and practical techniques. People who want to talk through relationship challenges, decide next steps in their career, or explore what gives their life purpose may find her approach helpful. To begin, the site’s matching process is used to schedule a first session and choose an initial path forward.

How her approaches are used in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and change patterns of avoidance.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals and preferences. Clients and the therapist check what is helping and adjust techniques as needed, aiming for practical steps the client can try between sessions.

The biography doesn’t list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, remove travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. They also make it straightforward to continue momentum after a life change, because sessions can be arranged from wherever the client is based in Arizona. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to an online setting so clients can practice skills in everyday life.
