Mandi Maycumber , LPCC, LMHC

Mandi Maycumber is a licensed counselor who has spent 13 years helping people manage worry, low mood, and hard relationship moments. She holds the Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor credential and the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, and she practices in Washington. Mandi focuses on women's issues and on the emotional challenges that often accompany big life changes.

Her work typically addresses anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and problems with self-esteem. She also helps people cope with relationship difficulties, boundaries, and communication struggles. Sessions are aimed at making day-to-day life feel more manageable and less overwhelming.

Mandi listens for the patterns that keep clients stuck, such as codependency, control issues, or fear of abandonment. She helps people notice those patterns and try out different responses. The tone in sessions is supportive and direct, with practical steps to change unhelpful habits.

Clients who worry about body image, shame, or past hurt can expect a trauma-aware approach that balances emotional processing with real-world tools. Mandi also addresses substance-related concerns, dissociation, and isolation with clear strategies for grounding and stabilization.

Her goal is to help people build self-compassion and stronger connections. In therapy people work on clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and choices that reflect their values. Mandi frames progress as gradual and collaborative, shaped around each person's needs and pace.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Two commonly used approaches in Mandi's work are trauma-informed techniques and skills-based strategies. Trauma-informed techniques focus on recognizing how past hurts affect present reactions and use pacing and grounding to reduce overwhelm; they are helpful for people recovering from abuse or other painful experiences. Skills-based strategies teach concrete tools for managing anxiety, improving communication, and handling intense emotions, which can help with day-to-day stress and relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback and shape the path forward so therapy matches their pace and priorities.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a good fit when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in outside a scheduled session and to use therapy tools between meetings. These formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and make it simpler to keep continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult.
