About Manisha
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with four years of experience, Manisha Chulani helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, career issues, depression, and low self-esteem. Manisha uses a patient, non-judgmental style. She emphasizes identifying patterns that began in childhood and how those patterns show up now.
She aims to help clients notice repeated responses and understand where they come from. Sessions often include practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-focused work. Guided meditations are used when helpful to manage anxiety and build self-soothing skills.
Manisha values online communication and finds it can reduce anxiety for some people. She combines conversation with exercises that challenge unhelpful thoughts and encourage small behavior changes. The work moves at a steady pace and focuses on skills people can use between sessions.
Over time she supports people in building more self-compassion and a clearer sense of themselves. That includes looking at expectations from social images and unpacking how those expectations affect mood and relationships. Therapy is collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to what the client wants to change.
To begin she guides clients through a short matching questionnaire and schedules an initial session. The subscription-based session model can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location.

How her approaches translate to online work
Manisha often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts. That approach breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives concrete exercises to try between sessions. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, and stress.She also draws on solution-focused strategies that aim to find small, practical changes. These look at what works already and build on it with short, goal-directed steps. Guided meditations are offered as a tool to manage immediate anxiety and to practice calming skills.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Manisha will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on what is helpful.
The original biography highlights comfort with virtual communication, but it does not list specific session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use a break at work or manage caregiving demands.
