Guy J Iacono
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anger is not the problem. How it gets expressed, and what it costs you, often is. For many men, anger shows up as the most visible symptom of something deeper: chronic stress, unmet expectations, feelings of disrespect, or years of pushing things down without a real outlet. It can damage relationships, create problems at work, and leave you feeling like you are not in control of yourself.
Therapy for anger management is not about learning to suppress what you feel. It is about understanding where it comes from, recognizing the patterns that escalate it, and building the skills to respond rather than react. We look at triggers, physical cues, communication habits, and the beliefs underneath the behavior.
My approach is direct and practical. We identify what is actually driving the anger, develop concrete strategies for managing it in real time, and work on the relationship and communication patterns that tend to make things worse. Clients leave sessions with tools they can actually use, not just insight about why they struggle.
If anger is affecting your relationships, your career, or your sense of who you are, this work can help. I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to talk about what you are dealing with and whether we might be a good fit.

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.

Dr. David Leibovitz
Psychologist, Psy.D.
A big motivator for change in anger clients is the recognition of the costs of anger/aggression. Often there are severe consequences to clients' anger issues including problematic or lost relationships, problems at work, legal issues, and others. Clients need to understand that what they have been doing to cope with anger has not worked for them. Chances are their methods have actually driven them away from the very things that are most meaningful to them. This recognition sets the stage for behavioral change. Additionally, anticipation of consequences is a powerful management tool.
We teach basic principles through psychoeducation early in the treatment process. For instance, it is important to note that anger is normal feeling. However, this normal feeling can turn problematic when anger becomes aggressive behavior.
There are two different types of aggression that I want to discuss: passive anger and aggressive anger.
Passive anger tends to be expressed with manipulation, secretive behavior, self-critical thoughts, suicidal ideation, and other modes. Passive anger is often not recognized because there are no apparent outbursts or exhibitions.
The more widely recognized form of anger problem, aggressive anger,has very different symptoms, such as demonstrated acting out, revenge seeking behavior, violence, and other forms.
In my anger treatment methodology, I target 4 main areas of aggression.
Physical aggression toward others (e.g., physical fights and altercations).
Verbal aggression toward others (e.g., yelling, screaming, arguments, threats)
Aggression toward property (e.g., breaking things, throwing things, punching holes in walls)
Aggression toward oneself, or aggression turned inward. This is the realm of self injurers such as self-injury (e.g., cutting, suicide attempts). These people often say "I'm not angry, I'm just depressed".
Another concept in anger treatment is the recognition that aggression is a choice we make. I want to help my clients and group members begin to develop a sense of responsibility as well as an internal locus of control. Also we will practice being empathic, that is, understanding situations from others perspectives, stepping out of our own shoes.
Another portion of treatment is the recognition that anger is almost always a secondary emotion. There are numerous underlying "primary emotions" that drive anger. These include fear, shame, guilt, frustration, feeling disrespected, hurt from abuse, and many others. The work we do on the primary emotions is important for a couple of reasons:
We begin to process some inner conflicts and painful experiences, even early in life, that have contributed to our personality development, our view of ourselves, and the way we conceptualize relationships and the world around us.
We glean insight into our own personal sensitivities, or triggers, so that we become aware of warning signs, then let off steam by means of communication or stress reduction activities, before we explode.
Another important aspect of anger management is addressing the tendency of many clients to hold onto bitterness and hostility for an unhealthy period of time. This has many negative consequences on the person's physical health and often keeps patients in a stuck position. We need to learn acceptance through forgiveness (for ourselves, not the other person) through mindfulness skills practice empathy training, behavioral techniques, and values clarification.
