Spencer Dimmick, Arcus Behavioral Health & Wellness
Counselor/Therapist, Mental Health Counselor
As a therapy with anxiety myself, I respect how difficult it can be to seek help. I make use of a multitude of ACT-based, Adlerian, and narrative approaches to help clients process their anxieties and feel confident and able to handle the challenges in their lives in the ways they want to. Anxiety is deeply personal, and we move at your own pace, not mine.

Anxiety or Fears
Ashley Miller Nolan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has proved revolutionary for me and many clients I have worked with on reshaping our relationship to anxiety and fears from one of trying to avoid or control it OR be overwhelmed and drowned by it to one of acceptance and management of it. This latter way of relating to any unpleasant thought or feeling allows us to continue to thrive and be present for life even while we are experiencing it.

Anxiety or Fears
Summer Stewart, PsyD
Pre-Licensed Professional, PsyD
Anxiety doesn’t have to run the show. Maybe your mind never seems to shut off. You’re constantly overthinking, second-guessing yourself, or playing out worst-case scenarios. Even when nothing is “wrong,” your body still feels on edge—tight chest, racing thoughts, that pit in your stomach you can’t quite explain.
You’re tired of being stuck in your head, tired of the fear, tired of feeling like you're always holding it together for everyone else. I get it. Anxiety can make even the smallest things feel overwhelming. But you don’t have to keep living this way.
Therapy is a space to breathe again—to calm your nervous system, untangle the noise in your mind, and finally feel more present and in control. Together, I'll help you understand what’s fueling the anxiety and offer you tools to manage it in a way that feels gentle, doable, and tailored to you.
You're not broken. You're overwhelmed—and you deserve support. Let’s help you find ease, clarity, and confidence again. You don’t have to keep doing this alone.

Anxiety or Fears
Danielle Keys at Headway
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, M.S.ED, LCPC
Many things in life can trigger anxiety or fear. Often times, it is hard for individuals to pinpoint it's origin and sometimes there is no exact thing to point to. I assist clients to learn about their internal world- thoughts, feelings, actions, and most importantly bodily experiences that are often not noticed. Anxiety starts from the inside-out. We will use Mindfulness, Progressive Muscle Relaxation, and learning about how emotions impact our body's response to things in the environment. We must distinguish between what's in one's control and what is not.

Best Therapies, Inc.
Therapist
Anxiety is one of the most common presenting problems for people coming into therapy. Work pressures, families and relationships, reading the news, and the dumpster fire that is social media can all be sources of stress. For folks with anxiety, severe stress can trigger anything from rumination and worry to panic attacks.

Anxiety or Fears
Empowered Wellbeing, Trauma/Complex Trauma (CPTSD), Dissociation and Addiction Recovery Care
Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
From an TIST/EFIT/IPNB/IFS Parts Perspective, clients get to know parts with anxieties and fears and learn how to listen and be with the anxiety, even finding hidden wisdom in these parts. We also offer the Polyvagal Theory based Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) for clients with more intensive anxiety and fears, particularly social and intimacy fears. Sometimes a functional approach may support clients experiencing anxiety due to physiological stress or epigenetic adaptive stress (e.g. if a basic metabolism or hormonal cycle is not able to complete with ease or there is an injury or chronic health condition that is still being tended to in the body, the brain will likely receive signals of distress that could be read as baseline anxiety, but may be a bodily signal that some part of a basic physiological cycle is not able to function smoothly and may benefit from ascertaining where the challenge is and working with supplemental or integrative support/education/care that is within scope or collaborative scope); please feel free to ask if you have any questions about this.

Clark Thompson, PsyD, MA
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
I provide comprehensive virtual neuropsychological assessments for individuals experiencing anxiety disorders across PSYPACT participating states, helping clients understand the full impact of anxiety on their cognitive functioning and daily life. My anxiety evaluations examine how worry, panic, and chronic stress affect crucial cognitive processes including attention, memory, decision-making, and executive functioning—insights that are essential for developing effective treatment plans and distinguishing anxiety from other conditions like ADHD or depression. With extensive experience evaluating anxiety across diverse clinical settings, I deliver thorough assessment reports that not only identify specific anxiety patterns and triggers but also highlight your cognitive strengths and provide practical, evidence-based strategies for managing symptoms, improving performance, and reclaiming control over your life.

Anxiety or Fears
Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Anxiety isn’t always loud—it can show up as relentless overthinking, perfectionism, or the quiet dread of “what if.” Whether you're managing high-functioning anxiety, panic episodes, or chronic worry that’s begun to interfere with sleep, relationships, or decision-making, I offer a structured, research-backed approach to help you regain clarity and control.
My treatment integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and the Unified Protocol to address both the symptoms and the underlying patterns that sustain anxiety. We’ll explore how your thoughts, behaviors, and core beliefs interact—and develop practical tools to interrupt the cycle. For clients with obsessive worry or rumination, I also offer targeted interventions, including Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT) and Response Prevention.
Therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your strengths. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone navigating a major life transition, we’ll build a roadmap that supports both immediate relief and long-term resilience.

Mind Body Connections
Counselor/Therapist
We each approach working with this differently. Through the use of trauma informed somatic body based approaches we work with the client to become more aware of how the anxiety shows up in their body and then practice tools to emotionally regulate the system.
