Manzaler "Manzie" Lohrey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who uses a warm, interactive style to help people facing relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She writes in a supportive tone and encourages clients who are ready to make changes. Manzie focuses on respect, sensitivity, and compassion during sessions.
With six years of counseling experience, Manzie draws from several practical approaches to guide conversations. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and act on their values. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new coping skills. Client-centered techniques make space for the client's perspective to lead the work.
Manzie also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy when a person wants clear, goal-directed change. These methods can help with setting priorities, building motivation, and tracking small wins. The blend of approaches is chosen to match each person's needs, not to follow a single formula.
She helps with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, career questions, and family-related issues. Additional focus areas include abandonment, commitment issues, communication problems, shame and guilt, loneliness, and multicultural concerns.
Conversations are intended to be practical and grounded. Manzie aims to validate experience, offer tools, and support people as they try different strategies in daily life.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This can be useful for self-esteem, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and practicing different behaviors to reduce stress and anxiety in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions may shift over time as needs change, and Manzie aims to check in about what feels helpful and what does not.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, require less travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a quick problem-solving session is helpful. Different approaches lend themselves to practical at-home exercises, goal tracking between meetings, and tools people can use during everyday routines.
