Anxiety and Stress Management

Anxiety and Stress Management

One in ten people struggle with high levels of anxiety leading to symptoms of distress. Hectic lifestyles, family and relationship problems, health issues, hormonal imbalances, school or friend conflicts, and genetics are just a few of the things that can lead to the development of chronic anxiety.

In my practice, I assist clients to manage and gain mastery of their symptoms of anxiety, which may present in a variety of ways:

  • Social Anxiety
  • Generalized Anxiety
  • Stress
  • Panic Attacks
  • Health Anxiety
  • Specific Phobias
  • School Phobia
  • Chronic Pain / Medical Issues

What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

The National Association of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapists describe CBT as “a form of psychotherapy that emphasizes the important role of thinking in how we feel and what we do.” It helps you become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking so you can view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way.

What is Systematic Desensitization?

A type of behavioral therapy clinically proven to aid in overcoming phobias and other anxiety disorders in which the client is exposed to progressively more anxiety-provoking stimuli while utilizing relaxation techniques to decrease nervous system activation during exposure.
