Alison Huang - Grow Your Mind Psychotherapy
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Anger is a strong emotion and it usually gets triggered when we feel like we are being attacked. Hence, we tend to have a "fight or flight" response. When we react to anger too quickly, we may do something impulsively as we didn't think in advance. Hence, we may express anger inappropriately which can affect our relationship to people. I am specialized in helping people with anger issues. I use CBT and mindfulness to help clients identify anger-provoking triggers and teach them techniques to descale the tension.

Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Our anger management counseling 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.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed anger management counseling for individuals struggling with anger, emotional reactivity, frustration, irritability, conflict in relationships, and difficulty managing intense emotions. Many people experiencing anger issues feel overwhelmed by recurring triggers, emotional outbursts, relationship tension, or patterns of reacting in ways they later regret. Anger is often connected to deeper emotional pain, unresolved trauma, chronic stress, past experiences, or unmet emotional needs.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to anger management therapy, helping clients understand the underlying causes of anger rather than simply trying to suppress emotions or control behavior on the surface. Together, you will explore emotional triggers, past experiences, relationship dynamics, stress responses, and unresolved trauma that may be contributing to patterns of anger, defensiveness, emotional shutdown, or interpersonal conflict.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-focused counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process unresolved experiences, reduce emotional reactivity, and develop healthier ways of coping and communicating. Therapy focuses on creating lasting emotional change, improving self-awareness, strengthening relationships, and restoring a greater sense of balance and control.
Many individuals struggling with anger have been told to simply “calm down” or “stop reacting,” yet lasting change often requires deeper healing work. When anger is connected to unresolved trauma, stress, anxiety, shame, or painful life experiences, talk therapy alone may not fully address the root causes. Brad’s approach focuses on identifying and healing the underlying emotional wounds and trigger points that continue to fuel unhealthy patterns and relationship difficulties.
Therapy is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each client’s individual needs and goals. Clients are provided with a safe, non-judgmental space to openly explore emotions, relationship struggles, communication challenges, and the deeper issues affecting their emotional well-being. Treatment may also include repairing damaged relationships, improving communication, strengthening emotional regulation, and creating healthier interpersonal dynamics at home, work, and in personal relationships.
Healing and change are possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond destructive anger patterns, develop healthier emotional responses, improve relationships, and create a more balanced, peaceful, and fulfilling life.
Virtual counseling and online anger management therapy sessions are available, providing confidential and convenient access to professional trauma-focused therapy from the comfort of home.

I had one client early in my practice who came to me for one issue but after talking it appeared that the real issue was tremendous anger that had been building for decades and was affecting every aspect of her life, weighing her down. We did 2 sessions around that and she was so completely relieved of her anger, so lightened, that she was amazed.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
While there are often mental components to anger you'll want to address with a talk therapist, there's also a physical component that we can work on using somatic approaches:
Out of control anger is often your nervous system's "fight" response kicking in so intensely that it's hard to keep your cool. Anger serves an important purpose, but we want to know that we can still stay connected to our best selves even while we are angry.
We can use body-focused techniques to be able to recognize when anger is about to kick in, and to teach your body new ways of responding to that anger. For example, you may find yourself saying to me "I noticed I was getting hot and agitated, so I excused myself for a couple minutes."
You may find yourself able to focus your energy much more quickly than you used to, to come back focused and goal oriented. You may still feel 'mad' but it may be anger that is working for you, in alignment with your values.

Washington Psychological Wellness
Counselor/Therapist
Anger is a normal, healthy emotion that can be used to communicate important boundaries and needs. Anger becomes unhealthy when it reaches a level of an out-of-control and all-consuming rage. Maladaptive anger can have a lasting detrimental impact on one’s relationships, work, and overall mental well-being. At Washington Psychological Wellness, our therapists work to help you understand the core mechanisms of your anger. Often, anger is a manifestation of a repressed feeling, such as deep sadness or shame. Your therapist will provide you the safe space needed to process, explore, and work through your anger to eventually replace learned maladaptive emotional dysregulation patterns with more adaptive ways of communicating. We aim to teach emotional regulation and adaptive communication patterns. Washington Psychological Wellness is currently accepting new clients. Telehealth (online) therapy services are available. Call now to schedule your appointment!

I understand anger, the effect it has on one’s life, and how it affects the people around you. When clients see me as a peaceful guy, they’re seeing the result of a lot of healing work (with more to do).
I’ve had considerable success helping clients with anger problems, perhaps because I believe anger management is secondary to healing. I believe most people who are angry are like volcanos. Even though the anger that shows on the surface in the present is hot enough to burn the client and everyone around him or her, there’s even more heat and energy “under ground” – in the past.
So I usually focus on healing the past first – without having to spend a lot of time talking about it. Once that unresolved pain and anger is mostly dissolved, clients don’t get triggered as easily or as forcefully.
The next focus is on reducing everyday frustrations. When the little things don't bug you as much, you'll be cooler under pressure and when bigger problems come up. , and have enough presence of mind to use anger management tools instead of losing control.
Note: I don’t do court-mandated anger management. If you live in Fairfax County, call my colleague Gary Niki at 202-241-0944.
