Aaron Mandzak, LPC

Aaron Mandzak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with three years of clinical experience. He is an Army veteran who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, depression, and major life changes. He meets people where they are and aims to make first conversations straightforward and calm.

In sessions he creates an open, judgment-free space for people to talk about what matters most. He listens to the person’s story and works together to find practical steps that fit daily life. The focus is on clear, manageable strategies rather than long lists of therapy jargon.

Aaron draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their own stories and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, practical goals.

His experience includes supporting issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care matters, chronic pain and illness, substance concerns, codependency, communication problems, and divorce or separation. He also has worked with people on the autism spectrum and with varied personality concerns.

Sessions are conducted in English and Aaron accepts international clients. He encourages anyone ready to take a step toward change to begin with a simple match process and scheduling. The initial steps are designed to make starting therapy as easy as possible.

How Aaron’s Approaches Work in Online Therapy

Aaron uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety and manage stress.

He also draws on Narrative Therapy, which helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and consider different, more helpful perspectives. This approach can be useful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Aaron will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes checking in and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
