About Stasia
Stasia Manak is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and low self-esteem. She writes straightforwardly and listens closely to understand what a person needs. Her approach is practical and people-centered, aimed at steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.
In sessions she adapts the conversation to each person's goals. She uses client-centered work to build a strong therapeutic relationship and mixes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques are used to help calm the body and reduce reactivity during stressful moments. Stasia has nine years of professional experience and holds an LCSW license in Texas and Florida. That background includes helping people face addiction, compassion fatigue, career stress, and relationship challenges such as communication problems and commitment issues.
She also supports those dealing with adoption and foster care concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and first responder issues. Therapy with her often includes practical tools for coping with life changes and skills for managing anger, codependency, and family of origin difficulties. She emphasizes clear, respectful conversation and collaborative planning so each person knows the next steps.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Sessions are offered in English and are available through a variety of online formats to fit different needs and schedules.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, listens closely, and helps clarify personal goals so sessions feel relevant and manageable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses simple exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then shape sessions around those choices. This collaborative process can include trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting them over time to better fit the person’s needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and routines. Video calls are useful for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other commitments while continuing steady progress.
