Michele Sitorus (Inner Peace Psychological Care)
Psychologist, Psy.D.
In therapy for anxiety and fears, you will work on understanding the root causes of their anxiety and fears, often through techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or exposure therapy. It is also important to learn coping skills to manage anxious thoughts and physical sensations, and gradually confront feared situations in a safe and supportive environment to build resilience and confidence.

Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Anxiety and fears can come from different things like past experiences, stress, or big changes in life. I'd help someone with anxiety by figuring out what's causing their fears. Then, I'd use techniques from therapies like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to help them deal with their anxiety and learn ways to cope. I might also use methods like Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help them face their fears and live a better life. In couples therapy, I'd use approaches like the Gottman method and Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy to deal with any relationship issues that might be making their anxiety worse.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
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.
