LaTianna Williams, Therapy, Sexology, and Holistic Tantra
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CTRS, ABS
Long Beach Anger Management : Anger is often misunderstood. While anger itself is not the problem, the way it is expressed can impact your relationships, career, self-esteem, and overall well-being. You may find yourself reacting more intensely than you’d like, feeling easily irritated, holding onto resentment, experiencing frequent conflict, or struggling to communicate your needs without becoming overwhelmed.
As a therapist, I help clients understand what lies beneath their anger, whether it’s stress, anxiety, hurt, disappointment, unmet needs, past experiences, or feelings that have gone unexpressed for too long. Together, we’ll identify triggers, develop healthier coping strategies, strengthen emotional regulation, and improve communication skills so that anger no longer controls your reactions.
This work is not about suppressing your anger or becoming passive. It’s about learning how to harness the wisdom within your emotions, respond rather than react, and express yourself in ways that create greater understanding, connection, and personal empowerment.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anger is often a signal of something deeper—frustration, hurt, fear, or feeling misunderstood. Rather than simply trying to suppress anger, I help individuals understand where it comes from, how it builds, and how it is expressed. Through this work, clients develop greater awareness, emotional regulation, and more effective ways of communicating and responding in difficult moments.

You can learn to manage your anger better by addressing three different areas--learning how to self-calm better, learning how to not exagerate the upset in your mind, and useful strategies to use in handling situations.

Mona Saba Valeriano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Explosive or chronically suppressed anger often signals unprocessed rage rooted in early relational trauma. Rather than treating anger as the problem, I see it as important emotional data—something to approach safely and directly in therapy, so it no longer has to be displaced or expressed in destructive ways.
Drawing from Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), I use an experiential, somatic-focused approach to help clients safely access and process underlying feelings. Together, we explore whether anger needs fuller expression and integration, or whether it is defending against other unconscious emotions such as grief or guilt.

Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Anger is often misunderstood as simply a problem of losing control, when in reality it frequently reflects deeper emotional pain, chronic stress, unresolved trauma, relationship wounds, shame, fear, or difficulty regulating intense emotions. Many people struggling with anger feel frustrated by recurring conflict, emotional outbursts, irritability, resentment, or difficulty calming themselves once emotionally activated.
I help clients better understand the underlying emotional and relational dynamics contributing to anger while developing healthier ways of responding to distress, conflict, and interpersonal frustration. Treatment focuses not only on behavioral control, but also on emotional awareness, communication patterns, stress regulation, self-understanding, and healthier relationship functioning.

I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with anger, irritability, or difficulty managing emotional reactions.

Barbara Jaurequi Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT, MAC
Most people don't realize that anger is an addiction. It follows a predictable pattern that starts with the angry person being calm (which usually follows an angry outburst). The next stage is the tension mounting period which leads to another angry outburst. Then follows a period of remorse and the cycle repeats. Un-managed anger gets worse over time. Behavioral counseling will help you get your angry impulses under control. We will work to find healthier coping tools to manage your anger and get to the root of what typically triggers the anger cycle.
