Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In my practice, I help patients struggling with anxiety and fears by utilizing a comprehensive and personalized approach tailored to their unique needs. I begin with a thorough assessment to understand the specific sources and impact of their anxiety. Education is provided to help patients recognize anxiety triggers and understand the physiological responses involved. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is employed to address negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Mindfulness and relaxation techniques are taught to enhance self-awareness and reduce stress. Exposure therapy is used to gradually desensitize patients to their fears in a controlled and supportive environment. I also offer strategies for improving emotional regulation and building resilience. Family involvement is encouraged to create a supportive network, and a strength-based approach is used to build confidence and empowerment. Ongoing support and follow-up ensure continuous progress and adjustment of therapeutic strategies. This comprehensive approach aims to empower patients to manage their anxiety effectively, overcome their fears, and lead more fulfilling lives.
Our approach to anxiety that interferes with daily activities is comprehensive and personalized. Depending on your needs, we will provide traditional talk therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and effective relaxation strategies. You will be able to identify triggers for your anxiety as well as understand the unhelpful thinking patterns that make anxiety worse. Through the counseling process, you will learn coping skills that will help you take control of the anxiety you feel.
Part of the healing process is being listened to and understood. I help you see more clearly what has been happening and what that may mean for you, providing a safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored and understood. Together, we work to help you move from wherever you're stuck.
I utilize techniques and approaches from the framework of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral therapy to encourage clients to focus on what they can control and seek evidence against anxiety-inducing thought patterns.
Anxiety can be constant, a negative thought that turns into overwhelming and disabling. Developing tools to combat this is key, challenging thoughts, finding truth, adjusting perspective are just a few tools to mention when we tackle this opponent.
