Stress is what we feel when negative emotions are primary and depleting of our energy and resources. In addition to CBT, biofeedback is very effective in successfully treating stress.

Stress
Clare Campbell
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience, I provide intensive psychotherapy for individuals navigating the emotional toll of persistent stress. I offer telehealth sessions to clients across the United States, as well as in-person appointments in Darien, Connecticut. My approach is highly individualized, grounded in the belief that meaningful change arises through a deeper understanding of one’s emotional life in the present moment. Together, we will work to uncover and shift long-standing patterns that may be interfering with your well-being, relationships, or sense of self. I aim to bring both compassion and challenge to our work—meeting you with respect, curiosity, and acceptance, while also encouraging growth toward a more authentic and connected version of yourself.

Stress
Jennifer Masters
Life Coach, Ba Psychology, CF Thanatology, D Kessler – Grief Grief Coach Certif,M Devine – Grief Coach Certif
Stress is a major part of grief because death changes daily life in a way the mind and body cannot easily absorb. A person who was part of your everyday world is suddenly no longer there, and that absence can feel shocking, unnatural, and impossible to make sense of. The permanence of death, the disruption of routines, the empty bedroom, the quiet house, the missed future, and the reality of never seeing that person again can create intense emotional and physical stress.
Grief-related stress can also come from triggers, looping thoughts, forgetfulness, irritability, exhaustion, loss of interest in people or hobbies, and the feeling that your thoughts are no longer fully in your control. A song, a coffee shop, a date, a smell, or an ordinary place can suddenly bring the loss back with force. These reactions can feel frightening because they are different from who you were before the loss.
As a certified grief coach, I support adults by acknowledging that these reactions make sense. I explain where grief-related stress comes from in plain, human language, without psychobabble, and help clients understand why their mind and body may be responding this way. I also offer practical tools to cope with triggers, manage overwhelming thoughts, soften the stress response, and move through daily life with more steadiness and support.

Stamford is Connecticut's most economically dynamic city and a major center for hedge funds, financial services, and media companies, with a population that is more diverse than its wealthy reputation might suggest—including significant Black, Latino, and immigrant communities alongside the finance professionals who define the city's public image. The high-pressure finance and media industry culture creates substantial mental health demand around burnout, anxiety, imposter syndrome, and the relational difficulties that come with demanding careers and high financial expectations. A well-developed private therapy sector serves Stamford's affluent professional class, while community health organizations address the mental health needs of lower-income residents in parts of the city that are far less prosperous than the downtown core. Common therapy concerns range from anxiety and burnout at the top of the economic spectrum to trauma, economic stress, and access barriers at the bottom, reflecting a city of pronounced contrasts.
