Manzaler "Manzie" Lohrey, LPC - Therapist in Arizona

About Manzaler

Manzaler "Manzie" Lohrey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona. She uses a warm, interactive style to help people facing stress, anxiety, and relationship struggles. Manzie focuses on practical steps and open conversation to help clients make changes they want.

She draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and build clearer values-driven goals. Her work also includes solution-focused strategies and motivational interviewing to support decision-making and steady progress.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward so people leave with tools they can try between meetings. Manzie has six years of clinical experience. During that time she has supported people through life changes, career questions, family concerns, and trauma and abuse.

She pays attention to cultural contexts and issues such as prejudice and discrimination when they affect a person’s wellbeing. Common topics she addresses include self-esteem, communication problems, abandonment and commitment worries, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also works with compassion fatigue, divorce and separation, and questions around life purpose.

Sessions are offered in English and are available through several online formats. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors to reduce anxiety and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, concrete steps and existing strengths to move forward quickly.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine. These formats offer flexibility for people with different schedules and mobility needs, and allow continued progress when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt the approaches above to work effectively across these remote formats.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
