Preston Mannon is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. He brings four years of full-time work in community mental health to his practice. Preston uses straightforward language and a relaxed manner to make sessions feel accessible. He aims to center conversations on each person’s immediate needs and concerns.

He also supports people facing gender dysphoria, LGBT concerns, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, and difficulties tied to prejudice or discrimination. He is familiar with mood regulation issues such as Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder and with non-monogamous relationship dynamics.

His clinical approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. In practice that means helping people notice patterns in thoughts and behavior, clarifying personal goals, and working on skills that change how daily life feels. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps.

He is also pursuing a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision and holds supervisory credentials to train interns and other counselors.

Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled in formats that fit different needs. The overall aim is to help people build clearer coping strategies and find workable next steps for change.

Approaches and remote care that focus on skills and goals

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and supports people as they find their own solutions and clarify values and goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Preston will work with the person to identify priorities and try methods that match their needs and preferences. Over time the plan can shift to include skill practice, goal-setting, or trauma-focused techniques as needed.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or ongoing text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier for brief check-ins. Chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use written reflections when that fits their routine. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
