Anxiety
Alignment Psychotherapy, PLLC
Psychologist, LP, PhD
There are a multitude of theorectical, biological, psychological, and social lenses through which we can understand anxiety. We tailor anxiety treatment to the needs of the client, as well as to the way in which anxiety is presenting. For example, we might use cognitive behavioral approaches focused on challenging anxious thoughts, decreasing physical symptoms of anxiety, and reducing avoidance behaviors. Alternately, we may work with clients to adopt a more mindful and accepting stance towards anxiety while engaging in committed values-directed action. We also may work to explore how anxiety symptoms reflect responses to challenging developmental or life experiences, or past trauma. No matter the the approach, our goal is not to simply reduce our patients' overall levels of anxiety, but to help them live more meaningful and engaged lives.

Anxiety
Dr. Daniel Cantor
Psychologist, Psy. D.
Anxiety informs you to be alert about something and is a natural aid for navigating life. If your experience is that your anxiety never gets quiet this may be connected to a history of trauma or specific vulnerabilities that we can help understand in order to reduce the intensity of your worries. In my practice I teach mindfulness as base of safety to approach anxiety safely and give you agency to overcome this obstacle.

Anxiety
Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
The worry doesn't turn off. You run through scenarios, anticipate problems, prepare for disasters that never arrive. Your body stays tense even when there's no immediate threat. People tell you to relax, as if you hadn't thought of that, as if you wouldn't if you could. We work with anxiety not by trying to make it disappear but by helping you understand what's driving it and changing your relationship to it. You can learn to feel the discomfort without being controlled by it. Our clinicians use evidence-based approaches that actually work, not just reassurance that wears off by the time you get to your car. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

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.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In my practice, I help patients struggling with anxiety and fears by utilizing a comprehensive and personalized approach tailored to their unique needs. I begin with a thorough assessment to understand the specific sources and impact of their anxiety. Education is provided to help patients recognize anxiety triggers and understand the physiological responses involved. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is employed to address negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Mindfulness and relaxation techniques are taught to enhance self-awareness and reduce stress. Exposure therapy is used to gradually desensitize patients to their fears in a controlled and supportive environment. I also offer strategies for improving emotional regulation and building resilience. Family involvement is encouraged to create a supportive network, and a strength-based approach is used to build confidence and empowerment. Ongoing support and follow-up ensure continuous progress and adjustment of therapeutic strategies. This comprehensive approach aims to empower patients to manage their anxiety effectively, overcome their fears, and lead more fulfilling lives.

Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals experiencing anxiety or fears by helping them better understand the patterns that keep anxiety going, such as avoidance, overthinking, and a strong need for certainty. Anxiety can show up in many ways, including racing thoughts, physical tension, or feeling constantly on edge. In therapy, we focus on building skills to respond to these experiences more effectively. Using CBT and ACT based approaches, I support clients in gradually facing fears, reducing avoidance, and developing a more flexible relationship with anxious thoughts so they can feel more confident and in control in their daily lives.

Chicago's size and diversity mean therapists here cover an exceptionally wide range of specialties, with strong representation in trauma, anxiety, depression, and cultural identity work across the city's distinct neighborhoods. The South and West Sides experience community-level trauma tied to violence and systemic inequity, driving particular demand for therapists who specialize in PTSD, grief, and resilience-focused work. The city is home to Rush University Medical Center, Northwestern Medicine, and the University of Chicago Medicine, with a large independent practice community concentrated in Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Wicker Park, and the Loop. Chicago also has robust bilingual therapy communities serving its large Spanish-speaking, Polish, and Mandarin-speaking populations.
