Connie Wolf
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA in Counseling, LCPC, LIMHP, LMHC
If you're reading this, chances are you're struggling with anxiety, and I want you to know that you're not alone. I'm a licensed counselor with experience helping people overcome anxiety and regain control of their lives.
Anxiety can be incredibly debilitating, making it difficult to enjoy the things you love or even get through your daily routine. But with the right support and guidance, it's possible to manage your anxiety and feel more confident in yourself and your abilities.
My approach to anxiety counseling is rooted in evidence-based techniques that have been shown to be effective in treating anxiety disorders. I believe in a collaborative, non-judgmental approach that empowers you to take control of your anxiety and develop the skills you need to manage it effectively.
In our sessions, we'll work together to identify the underlying causes of your anxiety and develop a personalized treatment plan that's tailored to your individual needs and goals. We'll explore a range of strategies and techniques, including mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and exposure therapy, to help you overcome your anxiety and regain a sense of calm and control in your life.

Stacey Hellman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
Anxiety can be debilitating and scary in and of itself. An anxious person has a disregulated nervous system which needs to be addressed. While I am not an expert on specific phobias, I do know a lot of behavioral tools and techniques that can help manage anxiety in general. In more severe cases such as panic attacks or very debilitating anxiety, medication may be helpful to improve overall quality of life and day to day functioning. I don't prescribe medication but I can coordinate care with a doctor if needed. The techniques I use to mitigate symptoms of anxiety include specific breathing techniques and other body-centered tools that we can practice in session. Anxiety doesn't respond well to the client telling themself to "just calm down." Then it is up to the client to use these tools as much as possible on a daily basis in order to get the best results possible. Just like a medication, you can't just use a breathing technique one time and expect it to keep on working the next day. The nervous system is complicated and needs consistent soothing techniques in order to become more regulated. The more you practice the tools, the better they will work and the less anxious you will feel in general. When your nervous system is regulated, you are more resilient to stressful situations and are able to "bounce back" more quickly if you do get rattled.

In our dedicated anxiety and fear management therapy, we offer compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to help individuals navigate the complexities of anxiety, panic disorders, and phobias. Recognizing that anxiety can manifest in diverse ways—from generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) to specific phobias and panic attacks—we provide a supportive and understanding environment where clients can safely confront their fears and learn practical strategies for managing anxiety.
Personalized Approaches to Anxiety Management
* Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): A cornerstone of our approach, CBT helps individuals understand the relationship between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through CBT, clients learn to identify and challenge distorted thought patterns and beliefs contributing to anxiety, replacing them with healthier, more balanced ways of thinking.
* Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques: Incorporating mindfulness practices and relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and meditation, can significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety. These methods teach clients how to stay present and grounded, managing anxiety symptoms as they arise.
* Exposure Therapy: For those dealing with specific phobias or panic disorders, exposure therapy can be particularly effective. Gradually and safely exposing individuals to the source of their fears in a controlled setting can help diminish the power those fears hold.
* Stress Management: Learning to manage stress through time management, lifestyle changes, and healthy coping mechanisms can significantly reduce overall anxiety levels. We work with clients to identify sources of stress in their lives and develop practical solutions to address them.
* Strengths-Based Approach: Emphasizing the strengths and resources that each individual brings into therapy allows for a more empowering approach to managing anxiety. By building on these strengths, clients can foster a greater sense of confidence and resilience.
Goals of Therapy for Anxiety or Fears
The ultimate goal of our therapy sessions is not merely to reduce symptoms but to enhance overall well-being and quality of life. Through therapy, clients can achieve:
* Increased Coping Skills: Gain a toolkit of strategies to manage anxiety symptoms effectively when they arise.
* Improved Self-Understanding: A deeper insight into the triggers of anxiety and how past experiences may influence current reactions.
* Enhanced Quality of Life: With reduced anxiety, individuals can enjoy more fulfilling social interactions, better performance at work or school, and a richer, more engaging life.
If you or someone you know is struggling with anxiety or fears, let's work together to develop a comprehensive, personalized path to managing these feelings and fostering a more peaceful, satisfying life.
