About Misty

Misty Mancini Seybert offers help for parents and individuals facing family and parenting concerns, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and changes in life. She is named up front so readers know who leads sessions. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, focused on clear goals and practical steps rather than jargon.

She draws on over 22 years of counseling experience and uses familiar approaches to support people through hard moments. She listens first and then works with each person to set reasonable next steps.

Background and approach

Misty uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy that help change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also applies client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own priorities and pace. Her work includes attention to parenting strains, blended family issues, and communication problems.

She also addresses body image, caregiver stress, eating and food-related issues, and relationship challenges like divorce or separation. Trauma, panic, obsessive-compulsive concerns, postpartum depression, and grief are also areas she supports. Misty is licensed as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor.

Her licenses include FL LMHC MH13238 and PA LPC pc009113. She has taught psychology and counseling courses since 2001, both online and in person, which informs her practical, educational approach. Sessions use a subscription model and can include video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

She practices in Pennsylvania and conducts work in English. Those seeking to start therapy follow a brief matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Misty commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead, helping people feel heard and supported as they figure out next steps. CBT looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and parenting stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Misty will review concerns, goals, and preferences with each person and suggest techniques that fit their situation. Together they adjust methods over time to match progress and changing needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for busy family schedules and for people who prefer shorter check-ins or written work between sessions. Using these formats, licensed professionals can guide skills practice, teach coping strategies, and support problem-solving in ways that fit day-to-day life.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
