Anxiety or Fears
Arpi Isayan, EMDR Therapist
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have extensive experience supporting clients manage anxiety and fears, drawing from my training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR. ACT helps clients accept their thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based actions, reducing the power of anxiety. CBT allows us to identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anxiety, replacing them with healthier, more realistic perspectives. EMDR is especially effective for processing traumatic or distressing memories that contribute to anxiety and fears, helping clients achieve relief and emotional healing. Together, these approaches create a comprehensive toolkit to help clients regain control and move forward with confidence.

KT Glusac
Counselor/Therapist, AMFT, APCC
I support clients in approaching anxiety with curiosity rather than judgment. Together, we explore the roots of fear through a depth and relational lens, while incorporating somatic awareness to regulate the nervous system. For those drawn to nature, eco-therapy offers grounding practices that help ease worry and cultivate calm.

Anxiety or Fears
Shelley M. Samuels
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor #6947 (CA), TLHT #494 (FL)
I work with people to support them in dealing with their anxiety or fears by assisting them to discover underlying causes, but also to simply help them become more functional; better able to face their daily tasks. I often use creative interventions like mindfulness (I am MSBR-certified), expressive art, journaling eco-art therapy and meditation; to encourage my clients to find more meaning and joy in life. I also use CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy, which I am trained in) to help clients identify negative thoughts, using exercises or homework to examine unhealthy behaviors. Finally, I may also work with people employing EMDR, a technique for working through trauma.

Chloe Lankshear
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.Ed, Ed/S, LMFT
If you are living life with anxiety or an abundance of fear, it can be really limiting (not to mention unpleasant and stressful). I will do a comprehensive assessment to get to know you, your background story and your goals, so I have all of the relevant information. Then, I will put together a draft treatment plan, with your input. The details will depend on the person, but generally with anxiety, I start with teaching tools and tricks for managing symptoms. This is usually a trial and error approach as different things work for different people. This will give you a set of go-to strategies to help you feel more confident in managing symptoms when they arise. From there, I would move on to tackling the source of the anxiety and seeing if there are other ways of thinking that would be less anxiety-inducing, but still feel true. Then, I would look to help you expand your comfort zone gradually, to be your confidence in with the things that cause your anxiety.
