Menlo Park, California therapist: Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy, psychologist
Stress

Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy

Psychologist, PhD, MBA
In my approach to treating stress, I prioritize evidence-based strategies that empower individuals to navigate life’s pressures more effectively. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients identify stressors and the unhelpful thought patterns that amplify them. We work together to reframe these thoughts, develop practical coping strategies, and incorporate relaxation techniques. My aim is to build resilience and equip clients with lasting tools to manage stress, enhance their well-being, and improve their overall quality of life. Whether you're dealing with work challenges, family dynamics, or other stress-inducing factors, I collaborate with you to find personalized solutions that foster lasting change.

Alameda, California therapist: Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp, marriage and family therapist
Stress

Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Stress often intensifies during major life transitions—career shifts, parenting, relocation, or relationship changes. Through an attachment-informed and emotion-focused approach, we explore how stress impacts connection and communication. Using IFS, we identify protective patterns such as irritability, withdrawal, or self-criticism, and strengthen internal self-leadership. Therapy helps you respond rather than react, fostering resilience both internally and relationally.

Seattle, Washington therapist: Aaron Kapin, somatic experiencing practitioner
Stress

Aaron Kapin

Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
There are a lot of ways to look at stress. Here's a way of looking at stress that I find useful: Stress is what happens when your body builds up energy to handle one or more situations, but ends up rallying more energy than is necessary to handle those situations well. For example, you have to do your taxes? So your body pumps out a bit of cortisol to get you focused enough to take it seriously. Great. But what happens when your body just keeps dumping cortisol till you feel overwhelmed and exhausted? That's stress. With Somatic Experiencing, we work together to teach your body how to use just enough energy to get the job done, and then let go of that energy once the job is finished. Rally, execute, then rest. Viola, less stress.
