About Manzaler
Manzaler "Manzie" Lohrey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship strain, anxiety, stress, life changes, trauma and abuse, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. Manzie also addresses issues like guilt and shame, forgiveness, abandonment, and identity questions that come from multicultural or discriminatory experiences.
She uses straightforward conversation and active listening to help people name what feels heavy. Sessions focus on concrete steps and small shifts people can try between meetings. Manzie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice patterns of thought and action. She also uses Client-Centered methods and Motivational Interviewing when exploring motivation and values.
In practical terms Manzie helps people clarify priorities around relationships and work. She supports those wrestling with commitment, communication problems, jealousy, or the fallout of separation. For people carrying guilt or shame, she offers ways to examine those feelings and how they affect daily choices. The work is paced to each person’s comfort and goals.
Her background includes six years as an LPC working in Arizona settings where she saw a broad range of life stressors. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort and uses goal-focused, evidence-informed techniques. People who want to explore meaning, self-worth, or repair after difficult events will find concrete tools and steady conversation.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting controlled by them, then choose actions that align with their values. It is useful for guilt, shame, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them through practical experiments and behavior changes; it can help with anxiety, stress, and relationship-triggered reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Manzie will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Conversations, worksheet-style work, and short behavioral experiments can all be part of that shared plan depending on what the person wants to try.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make it possible to do work that connects directly to day-to-day routines. Licensed professionals adapt materials and exercises so clients can try small changes between sessions and discuss results at the next meeting.
