Stress
Tim Jenkins
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
A good definition of stress is a difference between what you expect to happen and what actually happens.
But what about when you have a thing that you expect. Something that is dreadful or that you dread having in front of you in your life's path? Painful? Certainly. This becomes a management picture. It is about getting through this time with as little damage as possible and with as much self esteem and well being as we can muster. Dont go through this alone.

Stress
Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
In psychotherapy, when working with clients dealing with stress, I rely on evidence-based interventions to help them manage and reduce their stress levels effectively. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and develop healthier ways of thinking and behaving. Additionally, I incorporate stress management techniques such as relaxation exercises and mindfulness practices to help clients build resilience and cope with stress in a more balanced way. By combining these strategies with practical problem-solving skills, I support clients in creating actionable plans to address their stressors and develop adaptive coping mechanisms. My goal is to empower clients to gain control over their stress and enhance their overall well-being, providing them with the tools and insights needed to lead a more manageable and fulfilling life.

Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals experiencing stress by helping them identify the internal and external factors that contribute to feeling overwhelmed or stretched thin. Stress can affect mood, sleep, focus, relationships, and overall well-being, especially when it builds over time without effective coping strategies. In therapy, we focus on developing practical tools to manage daily stressors, improve emotional regulation, and create more balance in your routine. I incorporate CBT and DBT-based strategies to support problem-solving, boundary setting, and building healthier responses to stress while increasing your overall sense of control and stability.

Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
Stress often isn’t just happening in your mind—it lives in the body. Many people come to therapy feeling tense, exhausted, or stuck in a constant state of urgency, even when they know they’re “safe.” In my work with stress, I focus on helping the nervous system settle, not just talking through the problem. When the body stays on high alert, insight alone isn’t enough; we need ways to help your system feel grounded again.
I use emotion-focused tapping (EFT) and gentle somatic, body-based practices to help release stored tension and calm overwhelm. These approaches work by bringing awareness to physical sensations, emotions, and stress responses in real time—allowing your body to reset rather than power through. Over time, clients often notice they feel more present, less reactive, and better able to handle daily pressures without burning out. Therapy becomes a place where stress is met with relief, safety, and real restoration—not just coping.
