About Stasia
Stasia Manak is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with nine years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and related concerns such as self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Stasia also helps people facing career strain, addiction issues, and LGBT-related concerns.
Her work is straightforward and practical. Sessions center on the client's immediate difficulties and daily life. She uses conversation and structured techniques to help people manage symptoms and make clearer choices.
Stasia draws from client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person’s goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful patterns and build alternative responses. Mindfulness tools and trauma-focused approaches are used when they fit a person’s situation.
She has experience supporting people through grief, relationship breakdowns, adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and first responder challenges. Other areas she addresses include body image, codependency, communication and control issues, and forgiveness work.
Sessions aim to be practical and action-oriented. Stasia helps people develop coping skills, problem-solving plans, and step-by-step goals. She encourages small changes that fit into everyday life and work demands.
To start, she asks for a brief intake so she can understand priorities and recommend a path forward. The emphasis is on clear next steps rather than abstract theory.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and perspectives. In online work this means sessions start by clarifying priorities, then the therapist follows the client's lead to address the most pressing issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT often uses short exercises, worksheets, and thought records people can use between sessions to track patterns and test new responses.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is reviewed as progress is made so techniques can be adjusted.
Session formats and practical arrangements should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also make it possible to use written exercises and screen-sharing for CBT worksheets or mindfulness recordings during a session.
