Getting to know Jacob Maness

Do you feel caught in a cycle of intense emotions, "clingy" attachment patterns, or relationship conflicts that leave you exhausted? I work with adults who feel emotionally overwhelmed or caught in impulsive behaviors they can’t quite change on their own. Whether you are navigating Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Complex PTSD, or the pain of repeated failed relationships, you don’t have to figure it out in a vacuum. Together, we’ll move toward secure attachment and self-compassion, replacing "autopilot" reactions with intentional, healthy choices. Therapy with me is a collaborative, back-and-forth conversation. I am an active therapist—I ask direct questions, offer real-time feedback, and help you slow down to examine patterns as they happen. Using a mix of CBT, DBT, and acceptance-based tools, we focus on the practical: managing your day effectively and regulating intense emotions. In our first session, we’ll focus on "fit" and clarity. We’ll look at what’s keeping you stuck and outline a structured path forward, no interrogation, just a purposeful start. If you’re ready for honest reflection and tools you can actually use outside of our sessions, I’m here to help. Reach out today to see if we’re a good match!

What should a new client know about working with you?

Working with me feels structured, grounded, and steady. Sessions emphasize clarity over intensity, with a focus on slowing reactions and understanding patterns rather than chasing quick relief. I tend to be direct, curious, and attentive to what is happening beneath the surface, while maintaining a calm and contained presence. Clients often experience therapy as a space that is emotionally safe but not passive, where insight is paired with practical skills and responsibility for change is shared rather than imposed.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Work typically begins with slowing things down and developing a shared understanding of what is happening in the client’s internal world and daily life. Early sessions focus on identifying patterns in thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and bodily responses, while clarifying goals in practical and values-based terms. As therapy progresses, sessions emphasize building tolerance for discomfort, increasing emotional regulation, and reducing reliance on avoidance or impulsive coping. Interventions are adjusted based on the client’s responsiveness, with ongoing attention to insight, skill use, and real-world application. The process remains collaborative, paced, and focused on sustainable change rather than symptom suppression.
