To live is to experience stress. It is how we handle the stress that determines our wellbeing.
Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I would assist individuals grappling with stress by initially aiding them in identifying and comprehending the origins of their stressors. We would delve into any underlying emotional disturbances, trauma-related triggers, or relationship issues that contribute to their stress levels. Employing therapeutic methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), I would facilitate the process of challenging negative thought patterns and fostering effective coping strategies for stress management. Moreover, I would provide guidance in implementing relaxation techniques, mindfulness exercises, and boundary-setting skills to alleviate stress and enhance emotional well-being. The goal is to address the fundamental emotional and relational factors while equipping them with practical coping mechanisms, ultimately enhancing their ability to manage stress and improve overall quality of life.
