About Stasia
Stasia Manak is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the aftereffects of trauma. She speaks plainly and offers steady support for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck. Her approach starts with listening and shaping care to fit each person’s day-to-day life.
With nine years of experience, Stasia draws on client-centered work to meet people where they are. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices and trauma-focused tools are also part of her toolbox when they suit a person’s needs. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals. Stasia helps people build coping skills, manage anxiety, and work through painful memories at a pace that feels manageable.
She also helps with relationship and family-origin concerns, career stress, caregiver strain, and body image problems. Her background includes licensure as an LCSW in Florida and Texas, and she has supported people across a range of challenges including addictions, compassion fatigue, and blended family issues. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and adapts sessions to each person’s priorities.
Stasia offers sessions in English by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Getting started means completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on the therapist’s availability.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the person’s goals, asks what matters most, and adapts conversation to fit their pace and priorities. It’s useful for people who need understanding and practical problem-solving first.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people notice patterns of thinking and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. In remote sessions, CBT often includes brief exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments that a person can try between meetings to see what works.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can shift over time if something isn’t helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can fit a busy schedule or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, quick coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and keep momentum between sessions.
