About Preston

Preston Mannon is an Ohio-licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who brings four years of full-time experience in community mental health to his practice.

Background and approach

He earned his graduate degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and holds the Ohio LPCC supervisory credential, allowing him to support and mentor less experienced counselors. His work focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, and transitions related to life changes.

Preston favors an approachable, client-centered style that prioritizes each person’s priorities and lived experience. He often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and motivational interviewing techniques to help clients identify patterns, build practical skills, and set achievable goals.

Additional areas of attention include DMDD, gender dysphoria, multicultural concerns, OCD and related compulsions, paranoia, non-monogamous relationship dynamics, and experiences of prejudice and discrimination. Sessions emphasize collaboration and practical strategies tailored to what the client finds most important, with flexibility in format to match individual needs and preferences.

CBT and Client-Centered Approaches Delivered Online

Preston commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients examine and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns, develop coping skills, and build step-by-step behavior changes for problems like anxiety, depression, and obsessive thoughts. He also relies on client-centered therapy principles, creating a respectful, empathetic space that keeps the client’s priorities and values central to the work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Preston collaborates with each person to identify which methods feel most useful and adjusts the plan as goals evolve. Sessions focus on clear, practical goals and the techniques that best match a client’s needs and preferences, with frequent check-ins about progress and fit.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and day-to-day accessibility. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into busy lives, and they allow licensed professionals to meet clients where they are in a variety of formats.
