About Manzaler

Manzaler "Manzie" Lohrey brings a practical, cognitive-behavioral approach to her work as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, clarify values, and develop concrete skills for managing stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Manzie combines compassion with structured strategies to address relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, trauma and abuse, and career or purpose-related questions. Her practice also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused methods when those tools fit a client's goals.

With six years of experience, she aims to create an interactive, respectful therapeutic space where clients can explore issues such as abandonment, communication and commitment difficulties, guilt and shame, isolation, multicultural concerns, and post-traumatic stress. Manzie emphasizes collaboration, supporting clients as they build resilience, improve communication, and move toward the changes they seek.

Using CBT and Acceptance-Based Tools in Online Care

Manzie often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, building practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, and relationship patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people in clarifying values, accepting difficult internal experiences, and taking committed action toward meaningful goals.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to assess needs, try methods that align with their goals, and adjust techniques over time so that the work feels useful and relevant to the client’s life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication preferences. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, accommodate varying comfort levels with technology, and allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that suit them.
