Lucrezia Mangione
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, BC-TMH, CHTP/I, DCEP
4 Endorsed
Oxford, CT 06478
I see clients online in MD, VA & FL, and both online and in-person in CT.
You may look like you’re managing, but inside you feel exhausted, anxious, or stuck. You sense things deeply—moods, tension, unspoken stress—and it leaves you drained. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before, made some progress, but still feel disconnected or overwhelmed. You long for calm, clarity, and a way to move through life with more steadiness. My clients are often highly sensitive adults, helping professionals, or high-functioning individuals navigating burnout, trauma, or emotional fatigue. They want a deeper kind of support—something that honors their pace, their nervous system, and the depth of what they carry.

Have you ever asked yourself, “Why is this happening to me?” or “What is the meaning to all of this suffering?”? These are universal questions that we all may ponder throughout life. In my practice, I use an integrative style drawing from a number of theoretical orientations. I utilize person-centered tenets to provide a safe, comfortable and non-judgmental space for clients to express themselves. I have found that the existential themes of anxiety, choice and meaning provide a framework from which we can view our daily struggles and often utilize metaphors highlighting these undertones to help clarify client’s statements.

You’ve been juggling too much for too long. Focus slips, thoughts race, and your body never fully rests. Stress, anxiety, or past trauma still show up when you try to move forward. Maybe you’ve used substances to cope, or you just feel off balance. You want steadier focus, calmer reactions, and a clearer sense of control.

If you’re exhausted from carrying trauma, trapped in perfectionism, or stuck in cycles of addiction or self-sabotage, you’re not broken — your nervous system learned how to protect you. But what once helped you survive may now be keeping you from the life you want. The desire to help yourself break free from old patterns is the first and most powerful step in achieving a healthy lifestyle. Whether you are in school, working a full-time career, a primary stay-at-home caregiver, or simply taking a break to heal your own inner struggles, know that there is no “right” time in life to begin this work — only the present moment.

Are you facing a new or ongoing medical or mental health diagnosis, or caring for someone who is? Life transitions are HARD, and it’s natural to experience mixed emotions when faced with change. I work with adults navigating mental health and healthcare challenges, women’s and reproductive health concerns, aging-related changes, grief and loss, and altered states related to psychosis, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia. My clients are often looking for acceptance, understanding, and renewed hope when life looks different than they imagined. A session with me is structured but adaptable, allowing for flexibility and creativity.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.

When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.

How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
