Kelley Boole
Therapist, LSW
Racing thoughts, tight chest, the 3 a.m. spiral... anxiety is exhausting, and willpower alone rarely fixes it. Kelley brings applied-neuroscience training from Catherine Pittman's "Rewire the Anxious Brain program" (PESI), so together you'll identify whether your symptoms are driven by amygdala-based panic or cortex-based worry and use the right tools like exposure, cognitive restructuring, mindfulness, and neuroscience-informed CBT to retrain the pathways and quiet the alarm.

Cynthia A. Criss
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LPCC, CSAT
Anxiety and addiction often have a complex relationship. They can co-occur, with one exacerbating the other. Here's an overview of how they interrelate and some strategies for addressing both:
The Connection Between Anxiety and Addiction
Self-Medication:
People with anxiety may turn to substances (alcohol, drugs, etc.) or behaviors (e.g., gambling, overeating) to alleviate their symptoms.
This can lead to dependence and, eventually, addiction.
Biological and Psychological Links:
Both anxiety and addiction may involve similar brain pathways, such as those regulating stress and reward.
Trauma, genetics, and environmental stressors can increase the risk of both.
Addiction as a Cause of Anxiety:
Substance use and withdrawal can heighten anxiety symptoms.
Addiction can create stress in relationships, work, and personal life, fueling anxiety.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
From the perspective of Somatic Experiencing, anxiety can be a fight/flight response that hasn't fully settled. It can leave you with a feeling that something isn't quite right, and then your mind starts searching for reasons to feel that way. It's a vicious cycle.
We can work together to find ways to help your body 'complete' the unsettled fight/flight response so you can actually feel safer and more settled. Now your mind will be fresh and clear and better able to assess the situation and decide on a effective course of action.

Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
Therapy for anxiety is an effective and extensively utilized method for assisting individuals in managing and overcoming anxiety symptoms. Anxiety is a prevalent mental disorder characterized by excessive concern, dread, and physiological arousal. Individuals can investigate the core causes of their anxiety and develop coping strategies to reduce its impact on their daily lives in a safe and supportive environment provided by therapy.
The choice of therapy is determined by the individual's specific requirements, the nature and severity of their anxiety, and their personal preferences. Numerous clinicians may employ a combination of therapeutic approaches tailored to the unique circumstances of each patient.
If anxiety substantially impacts a person's daily life and well-being, it is strongly advised that they seek assistance from a qualified mental health professional with experience treating anxiety. Learning to manage stress and live a more fulfilling life can be aided by the support and guidance provided by psychotherapy.

Coming from the education world, I have worked with hundreds of students and clients who have daily test anxiety. When I say test anxiety, I am associating that with "life" tests as well.

Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
If anxiety has you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or constantly bracing for the next thing to go wrong, you're not alone—and you don’t have to keep pushing through it on your own. I specialize in working with high-achieving professionals and emerging adults whose minds are always “on,” often juggling high expectations, what-ifs, and the pressure to keep it all together. Many of my clients have already tried everything they know—podcasts, productivity hacks, deep breaths in the car—and still feel like they’re falling short. Whether anxiety shows up as overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or burnout, we can make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface and find a new way forward.
At The Momentum Practice, I offer therapy that is practical, compassionate, and centered on what matters most to you. I believe in creating spaces where you don’t have to explain your existence—just your goals. A space where you can show up exactly as you are, take a deep breath, and exhale. With over 15 years of experience, I help clients slow the mental spin, challenge unhelpful patterns, and reconnect with clarity and confidence. Therapy with me is about progress, not perfection— and about finding relief that actually lasts. My job is to help you feel understood and equipped. If you’re ready to feel more like yourself again, in control, and less like you're running on empty, I’m here—and I speak fluent overthinking.Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!

Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
While Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) is highly effective in the treatment of anxiety disorders (e.g., Panic Disorder, Social Phobia, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), clinicians do see some “return of fear,” or partial relapse, in some patients due to a variety of factors. Over the past two decades, treatment researchers, with whom Dr. Jayson Mystkowski had the pleasure of working with at UCLA for over 10 years, have studied “return of fear” and discovered some key variables that may optimize the effects of learning during CBT for anxiety disorders (Craske et al., 2008).
First, evidence suggests that focusing on tolerating fear versus eliminating fear yields better clinical outcomes in the long term. Namely, teaching clients that fear and anxiety are normal feelings, rather than attempting to “down-regulate” such feelings all the time, is more realistic and seems to engender “hardier” clients. Second, helping clients to generate an expectancy that “scary things will not happen,” is very powerful. To do this, it is important for clinicians to create more complex exposure exercises (i.e., tasks in which a client confronts a stimulus of which they are afraid), using multiple feared stimuli instead of one at a time. Then, the lack of a feared outcome becomes particularly surprising and memorable for a client and fear reduction is more potent. Third, increasing the accessibility and retrievability of non-fear memories learned during treatment are powerful factors in mitigating against a return of fear. Craske and colleagues demonstrated that exposure to variations of a feared stimulus, using a random schedule across multiple contexts or situations, is more effective than exposure to the same stimulus, on a predictable schedule, in an unchanging environment. The former paradigm, it is argued, creates stronger non-fear memories that are easier for a client to access when subsequently confronting feared objects or situations outside of the therapy context, than the later scenario.
In sum, clinicians have long been aware that some fear or anxiety returns following very successful CBT treatment. As mentioned above, there are some clear, empirically supported ways to modify the therapy we provide to further help clients generalize the gains made in therapy sessions to the real world.
