About Todd

Todd Mangini is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 20 years of professional experience. He is a 67 year old gay man and uses he/him pronouns. With a long career supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, Todd brings calm, experience, and practical skill to work with individuals, couples, and families facing life transitions and ongoing challenges.

Todd has particular experience helping parents who are struggling with parenting challenges, caregivers managing the needs of aging relatives, and those who are coping with loved ones living with serious mental illness such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. He also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, intimacy and sexual concerns, sleep problems, career questions, anger, and self-esteem issues. Additional focus areas include chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems, family of origin issues, and care for caregiver stress.

Todd frames therapy as a chance to explore internal thoughts and feelings and to develop new ways of relating to oneself and others. He works to create an open, nonjudgmental space where emotions can be expressed and examined. Through this collaborative process clients can build greater self-understanding, strengthen relationships, and develop tools to move forward with more confidence and purpose.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Todd combines client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness approaches to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathetic and accepting space where the client leads the conversation and explores personal values and goals; it is helpful for building self-understanding and improving relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, and is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical techniques to reduce reactivity, improve emotional regulation, and manage chronic stress and pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Todd works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques as therapy progresses so the work feels practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, to continue care during transitions, and to connect with licensed professionals from wherever you are in California. The focus remains on effective, goal-oriented work that fits each individual’s schedule and circumstances.
