Anger Management
Valiant Minds Counseling, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, ADHD-CCSP, CCATP
As humans we are built with very specific defense mechanisms when faced with perceived threats to our well being. These mechanisms and/or responses are called fight, flight, or freeze. I believe that when faced with stress or an anxiety provoking situation, we can struggle to manage our anger appropriately. At Valiant Minds Counseling, I teach skills and techniques to help redirect anger to healthier outlets. Additionally, we will learn to explore how our negative thinking patterns affect our feelings of anger and learn alternative ways of thinking about a problem.

Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Our anger management therapy focuses on helping individuals recognize the signs of anger and develop effective strategies to cope with and express this powerful emotion constructively. Understanding that anger can significantly impact relationships, work life, and overall well-being, we provide a supportive environment where clients can explore the roots of their anger and learn to manage its expression healthily.
Tailored Strategies for Managing Anger
* Self-awareness Techniques: Through the use of techniques like mindfulness and self-reflection, we guide individuals in identifying the triggers and situational factors that lead to anger. Enhanced self-awareness makes it possible to anticipate and prepare for potentially infuriating situations.
* Cognitive-behavioral Therapy (CBT): A core component of our approach involves cognitive-behavioral therapy, which enables individuals to understand the thought processes that underpin anger and to develop healthier thinking patterns. By altering these thoughts, clients can change their emotional responses and behavioral outcomes.
* Communication Skills Training: As poor communication often exacerbates anger issues, we emphasize enhancing interpersonal skills. This includes learning assertive communication techniques that enable individuals to express their needs and emotions clearly and respectfully, without falling back on aggressive or passive-aggressive behaviors.
* Stress Reduction Techniques: Clients are equipped with techniques to reduce stress, such as deep breathing exercises, physical activity, or relaxation strategies. By lowering overall stress levels, individuals can better control their emotional responses, including anger.
* Problem-solving Skills: We work to strengthen problem-solving skills to help clients address the issues that trigger their anger in more effective ways. This includes focusing on identifying solutions rather than dwelling on problems.
* Group Therapy Sessions: For some, understanding and observing that others face similar challenges with anger can be incredibly reassuring and enlightening. Group sessions provide a forum for sharing experiences and strategies, further aiding the learning process.
Goals of Anger Management Therapy
Our objective is to empower individuals not just to manage their anger, but to transform it into a positive force that drives change rather than destruction. By the end of therapy, clients are better equipped to handle life’s frustrations without lashing out, leading to improved relationships, greater personal satisfaction, and a more balanced life.
If anger is affecting your life and relationships, reach out to us. Together, we can explore the root causes of your anger and provide you with the tools to manage it effectively.

Lisa Vespico-Mull
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, SAP, ICAADC
I have numerous techniques which help clients identify how they feel anger in their body so that they may recognize the level of anger they are experiencing early on in the process. I will help clients make a plan to address their anger while teaching healthy coping skills to help release anger. I also realize that some anger may be hidden and will help clients discover this so that they may let go and release feelings that may be hurting them the most.

Psychologist, Psy.D.
Anger can feel like your water bottle is about to explode. Aside from the fact that it might initially feel good once you are angry, you notice that other people might veer away from you. I can help you process this while providing you skills to help prevent the anger.
