Manga Omasombo, LICSW, LCSW

Manga Omasombo is a licensed social worker who centers sessions on the person in front of her. She draws on client-centered and practical approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationship strain, and trauma and abuse. Manga uses straightforward, respectful conversation to help people name what matters and make changes that fit their lives.

She believes the person is the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that feel doable. Manga combines listening with practical tools so people leave with something they can try between meetings.

With five years of clinical experience, she has worked with challenges such as parenting strain, career changes, compassion fatigue, and the emotional fallout of loss. She also helps people facing issues like eating and sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, and difficulties related to ADHD and bipolar conditions.

Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix lets her tailor conversations to the person’s needs while keeping sessions focused and goal-oriented. Manga emphasizes collaboration and respect in every step of the process.

Manga holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and practices in Virginia. She works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches that guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s perspective and priorities. The work starts with listening, then supports people in naming goals and building on their strengths. This approach helps with stress, relationship struggles, and the emotional effects of trauma and abuse.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address sleep or eating concerns. Motivational Interviewing complements this by helping people find their own reasons to change and build commitment for new behaviors.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That means adjusting focus and tools over time rather than following a fixed plan from the start.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy life - it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about what will best match your routine and goals so sessions are useful and workable for everyday life.
