Counseling for Anxiety
Anxiety can feel overwhelming, affecting your thoughts, emotions, and physical well-being. If you find yourself constantly worrying, feeling tense, or struggling to relax, you’re not alone—and help is available. My approach to anxiety counseling combines evidence-based techniques to help you regain control and find lasting relief.
Evidence-Based Approaches to Treat Anxiety
I use a blend of effective, research-backed methods to address anxiety, tailored to meet your specific needs and experiences. These approaches include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is one of the most widely used therapies for treating anxiety. It focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns that contribute to anxious feelings. By challenging these thoughts and replacing them with healthier, more balanced ones, you can reduce the intensity of your anxiety and gain practical tools to manage it.
CBT helps you:
- Recognize and reframe anxious thoughts
- Break the cycle of worry and avoidance
- Develop healthy coping strategies for stressful situations
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a compassionate and holistic approach that views the mind as made up of different “parts” or subpersonalities, some of which may be tied to anxiety. Often, anxious parts of ourselves are trying to protect us but may be overactive. IFS works by helping you connect with these parts, understand their roles, and develop healthier relationships with them.
IFS helps you:
- Explore the root causes of your anxiety
- Heal inner conflicts and create balance within yourself
- Cultivate self-compassion and emotional regulation
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-based therapy focuses on bringing awareness to the present moment without judgment. Anxiety often stems from worrying about the future or ruminating on the past. Through mindfulness, you learn to stay grounded in the present, observing your thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them.
Mindfulness helps you:
- Calm your mind and reduce anxious thoughts
- Increase emotional resilience
- Build a sense of inner peace and self-awareness
