Manuela Vargas, MS, LPC
Adult Trauma Therapist
Founder, LIV Counseling, LLC

Manuela is a Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of LIV Counseling, LLC. She specializes in working with adult women and men navigating trauma, PTSD, attachment wounds, anxiety, emotional distress, and life transitions.

​

Founded in 2021, LIV Counseling was created from Manuela's passion for helping individuals who feel disconnected, emotionally overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. She believes meaningful healing begins by creating a space where clients feel safe, supported, and empowered to explore difficult experiences while building a more fulfilling life.

​

Drawing from both her Mexican heritage and American upbringing, Mani brings a culturally informed and authentic perspective to her work. She values honesty, commitment, and communication and strives to build strong therapeutic relationships rooted in trust and respect.

​

Mani utilizes evidence-based approaches including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Her work focuses on helping clients process traumatic experiences, strengthen emotional resilience, improve daily functioning, and move toward lasting growth and healing.
