Understanding Anxiety and How Counseling Can Help
Anxiety is more than just feeling stressed or worried occasionally. It can take a toll on your body, mind, and daily life, showing up as persistent racing thoughts, overwhelming fear, restlessness, or even physical symptoms like tension, a racing heart, or fatigue. Left unchecked, anxiety can interfere with your relationships, work, and ability to enjoy everyday moments.
The good news is that anxiety is treatable. Through personalized anxiety counseling, you can learn how to calm your mind, process feelings of overwhelm, and develop strategies to regain control of your life.
Is Anxiety Counseling Right for You?
If anxiety is keeping you from living the life you want, therapy could be the next step to finding relief.
Signs that working with an anxiety counselor might benefit you include:
-
Persistent worry, fear, or unease
-
Feeling restless, on edge, or unable to relax
-
Physical symptoms like muscle tension, rapid heart rate, or stomach issues
-
Trouble sleeping or focusing due to anxious thoughts
-
Avoiding situations or activities because of fear or worry
-
A sense that your anxiety is holding you back from the life you desire
Every person experiences anxiety differently, which is why our approach is never one-size-fits-all. We’ll work with you to understand the root causes of your anxiety and develop a plan that helps you build confidence and resilience at a pace that feels right for you.
Our therapeutic approaches include:
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Learn how to make space for anxious thoughts and feelings without letting them control your actions. ACT emphasizes living a life rooted in your values, even in the presence of anxiety.
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): A structured approach to identifying and reframing anxious thinking patterns. CBT helps you challenge irrational fears and replace them with constructive, empowering thoughts.
-
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT): Develop practical tools to regulate overwhelming emotions, cultivate mindfulness, and stay balanced in difficult situations.
-
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT): A strengths-based, goal-oriented approach that helps you identify effective solutions and build resilience, so you can move past the challenges of anxiety with confidence.
