Living with anxiety can feel overwhelming, often manifesting as persistent worry, restlessness, or physical tension.

Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
In our dedicated anxiety and fear management counseling, we offer compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to help individuals navigate the complexities of anxiety, panic, and phobias. Recognizing that anxiety can manifest in diverse ways—from generalized anxiety 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 Counseling: 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 Counseling for Anxiety or Fears
The ultimate goal of our counseling sessions is not merely to reduce symptoms but to enhance overall well-being and quality of life. Through counseling, 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.

GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I work with anxiety and fear through a trauma-informed, body-aware approach rooted in Compassionate Inquiry®. Rather than treating anxiety as something to eliminate, we explore it as a meaningful signal shaped by past experiences, nervous system patterns, and unmet emotional needs. Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, hypervigilant, or stuck in cycles of worry or self-doubt. Together, we build awareness, regulation, and understanding, helping clients relate to anxiety with compassion and develop greater safety, clarity, and trust in themselves.

Sarah Jacques
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWC-C
Anxiety often shows up as constant “what if” thinking, racing thoughts, and a body that never feels at rest. It can feel like you’re always on high alert, unable to fully relax or enjoy the present moment. I help clients develop coping tools rooted in mindfulness, ACT, and DBT skills to quiet the noise, calm the body, and build confidence in handling uncertainty. Therapy provides a safe space to step out of the cycle of fear and move toward a life that feels steadier and more free.

Gerry Letendre
Hypnotherapist, RPh, MBA, CHt
Many people experience anxiety or fears that don’t respond well to logic, reassurance, or willpower alone. These reactions are often driven by subconscious patterns that were learned over time and continue automatically, even when they are no longer helpful. Hypnosis provides a practical way to work with those patterns at their source.
My approach to hypnosis for anxiety and fears is personalized and collaborative. Drawing on decades of healthcare experience, I tailor each session to the individual rather than using scripted techniques. Together, we focus on calming the nervous system, reducing anticipatory worry, and helping the mind develop new, more adaptive responses to stressors and triggers.
Clients often seek hypnosis for generalized anxiety, situational anxiety, phobias, health-related fears, and performance-related fears. Hypnosis can be especially helpful when anxiety persists despite understanding its irrational nature. Sessions are conducted in a calm, supportive environment where clients remain aware and in control throughout the process.
Hypnosis is offered as a drug-free, complementary approach and is not a replacement for medical or mental health care. When appropriate, it can work alongside other professional treatment to help restore a greater sense of calm, confidence, and emotional balance.

Monica Grey
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Anxiety has a way of shrinking your world — making you avoid situations, second-guess decisions, or stay stuck in worst-case thinking. I work with adults who are tired of feeling controlled by their worry, whether it shows up as generalized anxiety, specific fears, or the kind of low-grade tension that never quite goes away. Using cognitive behavioral strategies and acceptance-based approaches, we'll identify the patterns that keep anxiety running and build practical skills to respond differently. Many of my clients also find that their anxiety is tangled up with sleep problems, so I'm well-equipped to address both at once.

Learning how to embrace those anxious thoughts and fears can help to override the automatic reactions and tune in to our true feelings. This process takes practice, and I am here to help!

Shelby Willoughby
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
My hope is to offer a creative outlet for my clients to express and explore their anxieties or fears visually, facilitating non-verbal processing and insight into underlying emotions. Clients may also find that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps them identify and challenge negative thought patterns and beliefs contributing to anxiety, while incorporating exposure techniques to gradually confront feared situations. I find it is important to provide a supportive and empathetic environment for individuals to explore their anxieties or fears at their own pace, fostering self-acceptance and personal growth.

Lauro Guzman

Anxiety is a feeling of unease, such as worry or fear, that can be mild or severe, often caused by negative thinking. I use cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and correct these negative thoughts and beliefs. The idea is that if you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
"What If" thoughts trigger anxiety and fears. Most "What If" thoughts never come true, yet you probably spend so much time ruminating on them. I teach you how to explore and challenge your "What If" thoughts by looking at the data or evidence to counter those negative stressful thoughts. I also teach you strategies to calm your body so that it can get out of the "fight or flight" state.
