Andrea Miller
Counselor/Therapist, NCC
In my therapy sessions addressing stress, I often integrate elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients develop mindfulness skills and accept their emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations related to stress. Additionally, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to assist clients in identifying and challenging maladaptive thought patterns contributing to their stress, promoting healthier coping strategies and problem-solving skills. Drawing from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy principles, I collaborate with clients to set specific, achievable goals and explore practical solutions to reduce stressors and enhance their overall well-being.

Jennifer L Abel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
We all have stress. I differentiate between stressors (things in our lives that can cause varying degrees of stress) and stress (how we actually respond to that stress). To overly simplify - we will first help you to deal with stress but if that stress can't be managed to your liking, it may be time to change the stressor (job, relationship, neighborhood, etc)

Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
There is "distress" and "eustress". Distress is that unpleasant sensation of feeling overwhelmed, pressed upon, burdened, and exhausted from carrying it all. It distracts us, disempowers us, and weakens us. Eustress is the feeling of exciting tension that, while seemingly stressful, can set us up for success. Let's change your distress into eustress!

Utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), I assist clients in identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their stress, empowering them to develop healthier coping strategies. Additionally, I integrate culturally sensitive, person-centered, and relational approaches to acknowledge the unique cultural contexts and interpersonal dynamics that impact each client's experience of stress, facilitating a comprehensive and effective therapeutic process.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with working professionals who are carrying a lot on their shoulders and are starting to feel the cost. Many of the people I see work in high-responsibility environments such as medicine, tech, or other fields where there is constant demand and very little true off-time. From the outside, you may look calm, competent, and reliable. Inside, your mind may not turn off, your sleep may be disrupted, your body may feel tight or wired, or you may notice yourself snapping at people you care about. You may be the one others turn to in crisis, at work or at home, with almost no space where you get to set anything down.
Stress in this context often looks like living in constant problem-solving mode, feeling responsible for how things turn out, and having a hard time resting even when you are exhausted. You may be juggling intense professional expectations, long hours, and complex personal or family dynamics, with a sense that you cannot drop any of the pieces. Your body may be registering this through headaches, tension, fatigue, or a sense of being constantly “on,” while your mind keeps telling you to just keep going. It can be hard to know what you need when other people are so used to needing you.
In our work together, we make room for the part of you that has learned to function under pressure and to keep going no matter what. We look closely at what is driving your stress, how it is affecting your body, mood, and relationships, and the expectations you are carrying for yourself and your work. This is a confidential space where you do not have to be the strong one, where you can lay things down, be honest about how hard it feels, and begin to find a way of living that is more sustainable for you.

Alton Wampler
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
From an IFS perspective, stress often activates protective parts that try to shield you from overwhelm, sometimes by controlling, withdrawing, or overthinking. Noticing and befriending these parts with curiosity allows them to feel seen rather than running the show. When your Self leads, stressed parts can relax, helping you respond with clarity and calm instead of reactivity.
