About Manga
Manga Omasombo is a licensed clinical social worker who centers sessions on the person in front of her. She uses straightforward, collaborative conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship or family concerns. Her style is practical and focused on strengths, with clear steps clients can try between sessions.
With five years of clinical experience, Manga blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive and goal-oriented methods. She listens for what matters most, then helps shape plans that fit daily life.
How Manga works
That can look like testing a new coping skill, shifting unhelpful thoughts, or setting small goals that build confidence. Common issues she addresses include depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, bipolar management, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing compassion fatigue, ADHD, and social anxiety or phobia.
Her additional focus areas include communication problems, first responder issues, guilt and shame, HIV/AIDS, hoarding, hospice and end-of-life counseling, questions about life purpose, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics. Sessions emphasize practical moves that match each person’s values and daily demands. Sessions are offered in English and Manga practices in Virginia as a LICSW and LCSW.
She accepts international clients and uses flexible formats so people can fit work on healing into busy lives.

Online support options
Approaches that fit your life online
Manga commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s priorities, helping people feel heard and respected while they choose next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean shifting emphasis over time as new challenges or strengths appear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief, ongoing contact and fit into busy days. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, family, or other commitments.
