About Manzaler
Manzaler "Manzie" Lohrey is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona with 6 years of counseling experience. She works with relationship concerns, self-esteem, stress and anxiety, coping with life changes, family issues, trauma and abuse, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Manzie also focuses on abandonment, commitment issues, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness.
Her approach is interactive and person-centered. She uses practical talking and evidence-informed methods to help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and set small achievable goals. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what matters most to each person.
Manzie blends several methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused work to address mood, stress, and relationship patterns. She may use motivational interviewing to clarify values and encourage change when people feel stuck. The focus is on skills people can use outside of sessions to handle hard moments and take steps toward goals.
She pays attention to multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and issues that can follow post-traumatic stress. Manzie helps people sort through guilt, shame, loneliness, jealousy, and questions about life purpose or self-love. Conversations tend to be respectful and direct, with an emphasis on practical next steps.
Clients can expect clear conversation about goals, short-term tools, and follow-up ideas to practice between sessions. The work aims to reduce stressful patterns and increase the ability to manage change and relationships in everyday life.
How Manzie integrates therapeutic methods in online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed actions even when feelings are difficult. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, concrete steps and short-term goals to create change when someone wants quicker, practical progress.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Manzie discusses options with each person, listens to their goals, and adjusts methods as needed. This is a collaborative process where feedback guides what comes next and which tools to try between sessions.

They can allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, avoid travel time, and provide consistent access when routines change. Licensed professionals use these approaches to help people build new habits, manage symptoms, and handle relationship and career challenges in everyday life.
