About Todd

Todd Mangini is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 20 years of professional experience. At 67 years old and as a gay man, he combines life experience with clinical training to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, and major life changes. He also assists parents navigating parenting challenges, caregivers managing aging relatives, and family members of people with serious chronic mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder who need help arranging care and maintaining relationships.

Todd views therapy as an opportunity to explore inner thoughts and feelings, increase self-awareness, and develop practical ways to move forward. He works collaboratively with clients to identify patterns, build coping strategies, and strengthen self-esteem so that daily life and relationships feel more manageable. His approach emphasizes understanding how thoughts and emotions connect with the body and behavior, and then using that understanding to foster healthier habits.

Beginning therapy can take courage, and Todd offers steady support throughout that process. He aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly, set meaningful goals, and take steps toward a more satisfying and balanced life.

Online Therapeutic Approaches and Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own experience, offering empathetic listening and support so individuals can explore values, feelings, and goals. It helps with relationship struggles, self-esteem, and life transitions by honoring each person's perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress through structured exercises and problem-solving. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be useful for coping with chronic stress, grief, and conditions that affect day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Todd will work collaboratively with each person to evaluate needs, preferences, and goals and then tailor methods that fit the individual's situation. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when people engage with licensed professionals. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions provide an audio option, and live chat or text-based messaging can be helpful for shorter check-ins or when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to access consistent support while fitting therapy into a busy life.
