Develop Strategies for Identifying and Managing Anxiety-inducing Triggers.
If you are struggling with anxiety, you are not alone. Anxiety has never been more common in the U.S., and the number of stress and anxiety sufferers is trending upward. It is estimated that 31% of U.S. adults will experience severe anxiety at some point in their lives 1 .
There is a solution. A therapist specializing in anxiety can help you identify your triggers and work through stress and anxiety by providing practical coping strategies and supportive therapy.
When triggered by anxiety, you can react strongly to specific situations, feelings, people, or thoughts. Your anxious thoughts can keep you stuck in a circular pattern. As you try to avoid the things worrying you, your stress can compound, making you feel even more anxious. At some point, the stress and anxiety become more than you can deal with on your own.
Anxiety can interfere with many aspects of your life, including work, school, and personal relationships. In addition to the mental strain, stress and anxiety can also cause
physical symptoms
such as restlessness, fatigue, lack of concentration, and sleep issues.
Even though it may not seem that way when your worry and stress feel overwhelming, anxiety is highly treatable. Even picking up the phone or hitting send on an email to seek help can be a big step forward.
Asking for help is not a sign of your weakness. On the contrary, it is a sign of your strength.
Depending on your needs, treatments such as talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and other stress management techniques like mindfulness, gratitude, or prayer can be highly effective.
As a trained therapist, I am here to walk beside you on your journey, listen, and give you the tools you need to break free from anxiety.
We’ll have a brief 20-minute conversation to discuss what brings you to seek a therapist. This is also an opportunity to ask questions and get a feel for your therapist’s style.
During a series of confidential, 50-minute sessions we will create a personalized treatment plan, discuss possible outcomes and provide evidence-based tools to address your identified objective.
Progress through the continuum of self-efficacy. The goal of therapy is to feel confident in your coping skills and navigate life with increased self-awareness.

Yes, counseling and treatment can help anxiety. According to the Anxiety & Depression Association of America, anxiety is very treatable, but only 36.9 of those suffering seek treatment.
Therapy is not a quick fix remedy that you take and immediately feel better. However, through a process of exploring your triggers and working through them, solutions can be found. Initially, this can be an emotional experience. However, it is over time with a caring therapist that worthwhile progress is made.
The specific treatments used to treat anxiety depend on the type and severity of anxiety you are experiencing. Each case is unique, and what may work for you may not work for someone else. Through an assessment, a treatment plan for success is developed.
Everyone experiences anxiety from time to time, and this is a normal part of being human. However, it is possible for you to recover from the constant feelings of anxiety and stress and to move forward filled with peace and confidence.
