Jennifer L Abel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
This is my wheelhouse! The two most important things to know about anxiety is that it occurs in a spiral and that fighting it fuels it. I'm great at treating all of the anxiety disorders and an expert in treating worry and GAD. With phobias/fears, that old adage "The best way to overcome your fears is to face them is true." But most people bite off more than they can chew and it only fuels the issue. My systematic approach works great.

Palmer McCluskey, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Anxiety is a very common issue that many of us face, and I feel well equipped to help you manage your anxiety. I draw from several theories of psychotherapy, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centered therapy, internal family systems (IFS) and others.

Stephanie Featherston
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Div, MS, EdS,LPC
Life can feel scary and overwhelming. Feeling out of control can be terrifying. I believe we can work through those by understanding more about what fuels those fears and the resources we have to manage them. Often, the issue is not external but internal. Getting to know yourself better and trust that person can often help.

Andrea Elkon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
We feel anxious because there are things we are avoiding. I approach anxiety with a combination of CBT, exposure, and mindfulness to explore what it is you might be avoiding and how you can safely reverse that cycle of avoidance. Please feel free to reach out to me to learn more about my approach to treating anxiety.

Anxiety
Joy Freilich
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC
Life can be hard. Sometimes we have difficulty communicating with our partner, boss, children, or our parents. Sometimes we have difficulty adjusting to a new environment or new life circumstances. At times, we may feel stuck and unsure of how to make changes in our lives. Other times we may want to delve deeper and truly understand our motivations and desires. Sometimes we just need to feel heard and understood. Having an unbiased, non judgmental person to talk to can help.
Everyone feels anxious from time to time. Anxiety is the body's response to real or imagined danger. Sometimes anxiety occurs frequently and can be very distressing. When I work with clients who are experiencing anxiety I look to discover what is causing the anxiety while also helping my clients develop productive coping mechanisms.

Tamara McCord
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LCAC
There is good anxiety - it helps us get motivated at times. But when we're experiencing anxiety at a level that affects our focus, sleep, or daily functioning, it can feel debilitating. I've used IFS informed EMDR to help soften anxiety, understand why it's there, and release tension.

Anxiety
Dr. Millie C. Astin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Whether your anxiety is expressed via panic attacks, specific phobias, social anxiety, or general anxiety, it can be addressed with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT for anxiety disorders teaches relaxation strategies, new ways to think about your fears, and helps you conquer your fears by facing them. Treatment is usually brief (10 sessions or less), but can make a huge difference in your life.

Matthew Reeves
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, CRC, NCC
There's stress (felt by most people from time to time), and then there's anxiety, a confusing and overwhelming worry that overtakes your capacity to live a happy life. Anxiety can be addressed by first seeking to understand its origins and untangling the emotional knot.

Hadyn Jolly
Counselor/Therapist, MAC, APC
Anxiety is a manifestation of fears and worries, and it can feel so overwhelming if we do not take the time to name our concerns and process through them in the presence of another person. I want to offer a safe and caring environment where you can unpack what is weighing you down and work together to quiet your stress and bring more peace and joy into your life.

Lauren Pifer | Present Way Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, MS
I utilize EMDR to help people process fears and anxiety. Underlying many anxiety patterns are past experiences that the nervous system still treats as current. EMDR helps process what keeps fear stuck, allowing relief to feel natural rather than forced.

Dr. Jessica Shine
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LPC
Is anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try? Have you already tried therapy but found it ineffective?
If this sounds like you, I’m confident I can help. My practice offers the most effective forms of treatment, to get the relief from anxiety that you deserve.
When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy - as opposed to anxiety medication - treats more than just symptoms of the problem.

Anxiety
Dr. Elizabeth Richards
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have extensive experience working with adults struggling with anxiety in its many forms — from chronic worry and overthinking to social anxiety, perfectionism, and panic. Many of my patients describe feeling constantly “on edge,” overanalyzing situations, or struggling to quiet their minds, even when life appears to be going well. Together, we’ll explore the deeper sources of your anxiety, including the internal pressures and early experiences that may be fueling it. My approach combines psychodynamic exploration with practical cognitive-behavioral tools, promoting insight while also learning ways to regulate emotions and reduce distress in the present. With these techniques, patients often find themselves feeling more centered, confident, and more in control of their inner world — better able to navigate life’s uncertainties with self-compassion and steadiness. Feel free to reach out for a complementary 15-minute consultation if you think I might be the right therapist for you.

Anxiety
Dr. Ellen Brackup
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Did you know that anxiety can be the mind’s way of protecting itself from feelings that seem unacceptable? As therapy progresses, the hope is to develop the emotional muscle to sit with all of your feelings, without having to push them away and be anxious instead.

Atlanta's rapid growth as a major business hub has intensified demand for therapists specializing in workplace stress, burnout, and anxiety among its large professional population. The city has a vibrant and well-established Black community, and many therapists focus on culturally affirming care, racial identity, and intergenerational trauma. Long commutes and sprawl are a persistent stressor for many residents, and a large share of Atlanta therapists offer extended hours and telehealth options across the metro area. Piedmont Healthcare and Emory Healthcare anchor institutional mental health services alongside the city's extensive private practice community.
