    About Preston

    Preston Mannon is a licensed professional clinical counselor in Ohio. He has worked full time as a therapist for four years in community mental health and continues work as a clinician while pursuing a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision.

    He takes a casual, straightforward approach in sessions. Conversations are shaped around each person’s needs and goals. Preston aims to create space for honest talk about stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life changes.

    Preston uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. He also draws on client-centered therapy to keep the conversation focused on the client’s perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when practical steps and skills can ease symptoms.

    He has experience supporting people with LGBT concerns, gender dysphoria, and multicultural issues. He also works with obsessions and compulsions, paranoia, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder symptoms, and challenges related to non-monogamous relationships and discrimination.

    Preston trained at Marshall University and has clinical experience with teenagers and adults in community settings. He holds supervisory credentials in Ohio and helps train other counselors as part of his work while completing his doctorate.

    People who prefer direct, collaborative sessions may find his style a good fit. The first visits usually focus on what matters most to the client and on practical next steps.

  2. How motivated change and practical therapy work online

    Preston uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want to change and why it matters to them. This approach focuses on the client's own reasons and supports building motivation at a comfortable pace.

    He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client's perspective, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach skills that reduce symptoms and change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered work emphasizes listening and understanding, while CBT offers concrete tools for managing thoughts and behaviors.

    Finding the right approach is part of the process. Preston works collaboratively to decide which methods fit best with a person's goals and preferences. He adjusts the mix of strategies over time based on how things are going.

    Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work often helps people fit therapy into busy lives, letting sessions happen without travel and making it easier to schedule around work or school. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight or offer a way to use skills between appointments. Ask about practical arrangements when you schedule so sessions match your routine and needs.
