About Misty
Misty Mancini Seybert is a licensed clinician with more than 22 years of counseling experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strains, relationship concerns, and the emotional fallout after big life changes or trauma. Her work also includes support for coping with natural or human-caused disaster and related distress.
Misty frames therapy around each person’s life and values. She creates a faith-sensitive space for clients who wish to include their spiritual beliefs in sessions. The focus is on practical steps and emotional processing rather than labels or quick fixes.
Her approach blends several methods. Cognitive behavioral techniques help identify unhelpful thinking and shift patterns. Client-centered methods keep the client’s goals and pace at the center of the work. Elements of dialectical behavior therapy can be used to build skills for coping with strong emotions.
She also draws on existential and psychodynamic ideas when helpful. Those approaches look at meaning, patterns that repeat over time, and how past experiences shape current reactions. Sessions can include problem-solving, skills practice, and reflective conversation.
Misty has taught psychology and counseling courses since 2001, both online and in person, and maintains licensure as an LMHC and an LPC. People who choose her often want a practical, values-aware partner in therapy who listens, helps set clear goals, and supports steady progress.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Misty commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques in her practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding a person’s goals, and adjusting the pace to what feels right. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through tough decisions or emotions.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers structured ways to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and for problems like compulsions or obsessive thinking. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) elements can also be used to teach concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving communication.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and different challenges come up.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find it simpler to attend regular meetings that keep momentum going during life transitions or after a disaster.
