About Todd

Todd Mangini is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 20 years of professional experience. He brings a reflective, client-centered perspective to work with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, as well as life transitions and grief.

Background and approach

He also assists people facing compassion fatigue, addictions, intimacy-related issues, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, anger and self-esteem struggles. Todd offers clinical support for a range of additional concerns including caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, chronic pain and illness, codependency and family of origin problems.

He incorporates approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help clients identify practical steps and new ways of responding to patterns that cause distress.

He aims to create an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored so people can move toward greater self-understanding, improved relationships, and a clearer sense of life purpose.

Practical approaches for online change and growth

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing concrete strategies to shift them. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress and sleep difficulties by teaching skills for changing reactions to challenging situations.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore emotions and personal values at their own pace. This style can help people work through relationship concerns, self-esteem issues and life transitions by prioritizing the client’s perspective.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Todd works collaboratively with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review what is helping and adjust strategies as work progresses to keep therapy relevant and practical.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility for differing schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family and other responsibilities, and provide accessible ways to practice skills and check in between live conversations.
