Psychotherapy would focus on journaling, identifying triggers, meditation, mindfulness, bio-feedback referral, diet, regular exercise, weight management, getting enough sleep, EMDR, hypnosis, ect.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Chronic stress has a way of becoming the background noise of modern life — so constant and pervasive that most people stop recognizing it as something worth addressing until it has taken a serious toll on their health, relationships, and overall well-being. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I help adults and high-achieving professionals identify the root causes of chronic stress, workplace stress, caregiver stress, and stress-related anxiety and depression and develop practical, lasting strategies to manage them. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and evidence-based stress management techniques, I help clients reclaim a genuine sense of balance and resilience. Telehealth stress therapy available across 40+ states.

Wendy Jensen LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Hypnotherapist, Diplomate Comprehensive Energy Psychology
Nearly half of women report a rise in stress levels over the past five years. And while women and men tend to cope with stress differently, we know that chronic stress contributes to a range of health problems in both sexes, including mental health disorders, heart disease and obesity, depression, anxiety, low sex drive, memory and concentration problems, headaches, upset stomach, lack of focus, lack of energy and mood swings.
Stress can be a motivator, and it can even be essential to survival. The body’s fight-or-flight mechanism tells a person when and how to respond to danger. However, when the body becomes triggered too easily, or there are too many stressors at one time, it can undermine a person’s mental and physical health and become harmful.
Stress is the body’s natural defense against predators and danger. It causes the body to flood with hormones that prepare its systems to evade or confront danger. People commonly refer to this as the fight-or-flight mechanism.
Managing stress calls for addressing the mind as well as the body, since both the brain and body contribute to symptoms. In my practice, I employ a variety of stress busting techniques derived from energy psychology including acupoint tapping, EMDR, Regenerating Images in Memory (RIM), guided meditation and exercises such as tai chi and qi gong movements meant to disapate stuck energy from the body.

Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
Therapy for stress, also known as stress management therapy or stress reduction therapy, is a form of counseling that focuses on assisting individuals in coping with and mitigating the adverse effects of stress. Stress is a normal response to life's demands and challenges, but chronic or overwhelming stress can harm physical and mental health. Therapy provides tools and strategies to manage stress and promote overall health effectively.
The effectiveness of stress management therapy is contingent upon the individual's dedication to implementing the strategies discussed in treatment and making positive adjustments in their daily lives. Individuals can build resilience, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and reduce the negative impact of stress on their well-being through therapy.
Suppose stress is significantly affecting your daily life or well-being. In that case, it is recommended that you seek the assistance of a qualified mental health professional with experience in stress management therapy to address your specific requirements and develop a personalized stress management plan.

Michael Pollet
Registered Social Worker, CSWA
Our work starts by acknowledging the social, cultural, and environmental conditions that may contribute to the problems that affect your quality of life and capacity to receive or engage in mental health care. Therapy is tailored to your preferences to minimize stressors and build skills for interacting more effectively with the outside world. The behaviors, emotions, relationship patterns, or self-beliefs that no longer work for you can be transformed, rather than pathologized by identifying external power imbalances that impede quality of life and highlighting the good intentions behind difficult interactions.

Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Chronic stress can gradually affect emotional wellbeing, physical health, relationships, concentration, sleep, and overall quality of life. Many individuals experiencing ongoing stress feel emotionally overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, irritable, disconnected, or unable to fully recover from the constant demands and pressures of daily life.
I help clients better understand the emotional, behavioral, relational, and environmental factors contributing to stress while developing healthier coping strategies and greater psychological resilience. Therapy focuses not only on symptom management, but also on creating more sustainable patterns related to work, relationships, boundaries, self-care, emotional regulation, and overall life balance.

Portland has a strong therapy culture deeply intertwined with its progressive values, with high demand for therapists who specialize in LGBTQ+ identity, non-traditional relationship structures, trauma, and social-justice-informed approaches to mental health. The city's visible homelessness crisis and political tensions have contributed to significant community-level anxiety, and therapists here frequently address activist burnout, moral injury, and eco-anxiety alongside more traditional presenting concerns. Oregon Health & Science University provides major institutional mental health resources, complemented by a dense network of independent practitioners across the inner eastside, Hawthorne, and Northwest Portland. Oregon's relatively permissive telehealth laws make it particularly easy to access care from across the state.
