About Manuel
Dr. Manuel Evangelista is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people struggling with self esteem, stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life changes. He brings a calm, reflective presence to sessions and aims to help clients find more balance in their emotional and spiritual lives. His approach emphasizes acceptance and practical ways to tolerate distress rather than only fixing symptoms.
He combines ideas from social, biological, and psychological perspectives. That mix informs how he listens and responds in sessions. He draws on mindfulness and Zen practices alongside Western neuroscience to help people reconnect with what matters to them.
Dr. Evangelista uses therapies that encourage noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. He often works with acceptance-based tools, cognitive strategies, and skills for emotional regulation. These methods are used to address depression, anxiety, trauma-related concerns, addictions, and problems with sleep or eating.
He has 21 years of clinical experience and holds an LCSW in Utah. His background includes graduate and postgraduate education in social work and counseling, plus experience collaborating with prescribers about psychotropic medication when that is helpful.
As a clinician and a mindfulness teacher, he emphasizes bearing painful experiences with courage and curiosity. He encourages a steady, patient pace in therapy and partners with clients to build practical skills for daily life and lasting change.
