San Diego, California therapist: Saralee Kramer Counseling, marriage and family therapist
Stress

Saralee Kramer Counseling

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many people find life to be very stressful. Much anxiety comes from trying to do too much, or meet the expectations of others, or a negative mindset about what's ahead. I work with clients to explore their beliefs, and where they come from. Then, it's important to choose about what matters to You, and begin focusing on activities and people who matter to You. Setting clear intentions, changing behaviors, and being mindful of self care are helpful strategies.

Our world is so stressful and impacts our systems on all levels-bodily, relational, communal, familial. Work to understand the signs and sources of stress and how to navigate those can be very important to shedding the negative implications of navigating toxic systems and environments and how those can come to impair and disable healthy functioning. Mindfulness and mindful self-compassion can particularly inform this work as does right action such boundary setting and bolstering communication.

Stress

MindOverHealing Therapies

Hypnotherapist, CHt
In today's fast-paced world, stress has become an almost ubiquitous part of daily life. While some stress can be beneficial, motivating individuals to meet deadlines or perform at their best, chronic stress can have detrimental effects on both mental and physical health. Hypnotherapy, a therapeutic practice that utilizes the power of suggestion and visualization, offers a unique and effective method for managing stress. By addressing the underlying psychological triggers of stress and promoting relaxation and positive thinking, hypnotherapy can help individuals achieve a more balanced and harmonious state of mind.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Heidi Hartston, psychologist
Stress

Heidi Hartston

Psychologist, PhD
Stress can have you feeling burned out, on edge, anxious, irritable or highly reactive. Whatever the cause, especially when there are multiple sources of stress, your nervous system can chronically burn on overdrive, disrupting your sleep and interfering in relationships, job performance and life satisfaction. Even with multiple sources of pressure on you, therapy can help you learn to create external boundaries by limiting what you take on, and internal boundaries by holding all that pressure at arms length, and managing stress in ways that allow you to access a sense of calm in the storm. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that effectively free you from self-sabotaging patterns, and help you manage stress and build the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Please see any of the other entries. Stress is such a word that sometimes does a lot of heavy lifting in our world. Stress can mean brief experiences of sensory or cognitive overload, or could be an expression of anxiety, other health challenge impacting mental health. It could result from just not having language or a sense of space where one is accepted and can belong available to talk about one's challenge. Generally, if it's not CPTSD related there are lots of great ways to sort through overload and growth with working with inner feelings. If it's CPTSD and DID or other CPTSD based, parts work or other neurodevelopmentally supportive care might help. If it's oppression based or chronic health based, then it may help to share about the situation and find ways that are less taxing, require less masking, etc. to move through a situation or be at peace in it. Stress can sometimes mask grief. Our hegemonic culture has not developed or has even discarded tools for working with grief. So sometimes stress can be indicator that grief work is helpful. Also, a very real factor is disaster capitalism -- giving people a place to be real about that and its multiple devastating impacts is often very helpful. Sometimes it can open up new creative ways of addressing the challenge and finding agency that might have been inaccessible before. Sometimes there is just a need to mourn the challenges with other compassionate folks to feel less alone. Sometimes its about family or cultural conditioning to prove and succeed in an automated way, that discards the realm of emotions that unfortunately can't be stuffed or wedged out forever, as they are a useful gauge for inner and broader conditions when worked with constructively. Stress could be resultant from conditions not listed here, like being an overextended caregiver, etc. or stepping into one's first big art/creative event... If you're feeling stress, please feel free to reach out and ask for help!

When Stress Becomes Your Normal You may be holding everything together — work, relationships, family — but inside, you feel stretched thin. Your mind is racing, your sleep is off, and no matter how much you get done, it never feels like enough. Maybe your body has started to show the strain too — headaches, fatigue, tension, or constant restlessness. Stress is your body’s way of saying something needs care. When it becomes chronic, it can leave you feeling anxious, irritable, or disconnected from what once brought joy. In therapy, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you calm your nervous system and regain a sense of balance. Together, we’ll: Identify the thoughts and habits that keep your stress cycle running Build emotional tools to manage pressure without burning out Learn how to pause and reset your body’s “threat mode” using neuroscience-based skills Strengthen your boundaries and reconnect with what truly matters to you Replace overthinking and self-criticism with clarity and confidence Our work combines practical tools, humor, and self-compassion — because healing from stress isn’t about doing more, it’s about learning how to do less with more presence and peace. I BELIEVE: Your stress is not a personal failure — it’s a signal asking for understanding, not judgment. Balance isn’t something you find; it’s something you build, moment by moment. You can be both ambitious and grounded, productive and peaceful. Boundaries are acts of self-respect, not selfishness. You deserve a life that feels manageable, meaningful, and your own. Also Integrated In Our Work: • Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication • Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff • Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach
