Anxiety
Allyson Stephens
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Anxiety can be an overwhelming experience for most. I like to help dive into how anxiety is developed and tools that can help when anxiety symptoms appear. I use CBT, IFS, and EMDR for this issue.

Sarah Farris
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, LPC
Anxiety can present in a number of ways, including worrying thoughts about several areas of life, rumination, physical tension and restlessness, sleep difficulty/insomnia, mind going blank, and avoidance. Feelings of anxiety can make daily tasks seem overwhelming, leading to doubtful decision making, difficulty performing your best, or interference with the things you care about most. I utilized evidence-based practices designed to treat anxiety and fears, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), and mindfulness methods. My therapeutic style includes values driven skill development, supportive therapy, behavioral experiments, and coping strategies to help adults manage worry and overcome fears.

Dr. Dawnn R. Meiers
Psychologist, Psy.D.
These are difficult times, and it's natural to feel anxious or scared. In fact, fear has a biological purpose; however, it can become stuck on overdrive. In psychotherapy, we'll practice noticing and naming fear as it shows up in daily life, learn to discern when action (versus mindful awareness or acceptance) is needed, and experiment with self-compassionate, skillful responses.

Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals experiencing anxiety or fears by helping them better understand the patterns that keep anxiety going, such as avoidance, overthinking, and a strong need for certainty. Anxiety can show up in many ways, including racing thoughts, physical tension, or feeling constantly on edge. In therapy, we focus on building skills to respond to these experiences more effectively. Using CBT and ACT based approaches, I support clients in gradually facing fears, reducing avoidance, and developing a more flexible relationship with anxious thoughts so they can feel more confident and in control in their daily lives.

Best Therapies, Inc.
Therapist
Anxiety is one of the most common presenting problems for people coming into therapy. Work pressures, families and relationships, reading the news, and the dumpster fire that is social media can all be sources of stress. For folks with anxiety, severe stress can trigger anything from rumination and worry to panic attacks.

If your mind rarely seems to slow down, you may be experiencing anxiety. Persistent worry, racing thoughts, and physical tension can make it difficult to focus, rest, or feel fully present in daily life. I work with adults experiencing anxiety to understand the patterns driving it and develop practical skills that calm the nervous system, improve clarity, and restore a greater sense of steadiness.

Anxiety
Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
Feeling keyed up, exhausted, and unable to just be present? Anxiety can creep into our lives in so many ways. From a racing mind keeping you up at night, to second guessing every decision, to avoiding social situations, anxiety likes to take control and run your life, often making it smaller in the process. I work collaboratively with you to take your power back in your life, learn strategies to calm your body and mind, and find ways to gain back meaning and purpose.

Anxiety
Lenny Gallo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety is a perceived fear about a future that has not yet happened. It presents itself as worry and panic and can cause physiological changes in the body, such as pounding heart, sweating, racing thoughts, and irritability. Experiencing occasional anxiety is a normal part of life. However, people with anxiety disorders frequently have intense, excessive, and persistent debilitating worry and agitation about everyday situations.
Anxiety disorders often involve repeated episodes of sudden feelings of intense anxiety and fear or terror that reach a peak within minutes (panic attacks). These feelings of anxiety and panic interfere with daily activities, are difficult to control, are out of proportion to the actual danger, and can last a long time. You may notice that you avoid places or situations to prevent these feelings.
Anxiety can actually be a good thing, however. When we learn how to work with it, rather than fighting it, we may find that symptoms begin to go away on their own. My approach to treating anxiety is to utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to examine anxious thoughts, figure out ways to readjust our thinking, and develop better coping skills. Together we can work on how to manage this feeling so that you can take back control of your life.

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.

Join the Rebellion (JTR23 Inc)
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
High-performing men often experience anxiety not as panic attacks or visible distress but as relentless overthinking, an inner critic that never quiets, and a nervous system perpetually braced for the next threat to their reputation or results. I specialize in anxiety treatment for men using Character Driven Therapy to identify the belief systems and identity patterns generating anxiety — not just manage the symptoms. The goal is permanent relief built on understanding the roots of the anxiety, not an ongoing coping strategy that has to be maintained indefinitely.

Angela Nguyen
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
As much as I enjoy working with dynamics, I also hold a lot of compassion for the internal dynamic/relationship one has with themselves too. The way that we interact with ourselves and our emotions can exacerbate anxiety. By helping clients hold space for their own emotions, they also learn how to better cope with anxiety/depression/stress/self-esteem.

Linda Michlin Ludwig
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Anxiety for better or worse is part of being human. Take for example test-taking. Too little anxiety and you won't study sufficiently for the test. Too much anxiety and you can't concentrate. Anxiety is inevitable. Let's talk about your anxiety. Let's break it down. Let's make it manageable. Fears are usually more specific than anxiety. Fears and anxieties can often be understood on a continuum from realistic to unrealistic. If you prefer, I can suggest workbooks for out of session help with these emotions.

Lincoln Park Psychology, Inc
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologists, LCPC, LPC, LCSW, LSW, CADC, AMFT
Anxiety and fear are natural responses in our daily lives. They are not only typical but they are necessary. The difficulty is in deciding when these feelings are dysfunctional vs. functional. Our clinicians work closely with clients to set attainable and realistic goals for clients as well as a plan to achieve these goals. Talking about your anxiety and fear, does not actually help your anxiety and fear. There needs to be a connection made regarding from where these feelings are stemming, how they manifest in each person, and where we can expect to change them.

Dr. Alisha Desai
Psychologist, PhD
Anxiety can make it difficult to feel settled, even when there’s no obvious reason for something to be wrong and others around you are reassuring you. You might find yourself anticipating problems, second-guessing decisions, or feeling responsible for thinking through every possible outcome. Even when things look fine from the outside, the constant mental effort of managing uncertainty and trying to prevent anything from going wrong is exhausting. Using evidence-based therapies, Dr. Desai can help you understand the patterns that keep anxiety going, face uncertainty with greater confidence, and reclaim time and energy for what matters to you. As a result, you'll start to reengage with your life and potentially find new facets of life entirely.
