Lenny Gallo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety is a perceived fear about a future that has not yet happened. It presents itself as worry and panic and can cause physiological changes in the body, such as pounding heart, sweating, racing thoughts, and irritability. Experiencing occasional anxiety is a normal part of life. However, people with anxiety disorders frequently have intense, excessive, and persistent debilitating worry and agitation about everyday situations.
Anxiety disorders often involve repeated episodes of sudden feelings of intense anxiety and fear or terror that reach a peak within minutes (panic attacks). These feelings of anxiety and panic interfere with daily activities, are difficult to control, are out of proportion to the actual danger, and can last a long time. You may notice that you avoid places or situations to prevent these feelings.
Anxiety can actually be a good thing, however. When we learn how to work with it, rather than fighting it, we may find that symptoms begin to go away on their own. My approach to treating anxiety is to utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to examine anxious thoughts, figure out ways to readjust our thinking, and develop better coping skills. Together we can work on how to manage this feeling so that you can take back control of your life.

Jacqueline Elster
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, LP
My approach to treating anxiety involves helping you identify and alter thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to your experience of anxiety. You will learn coping strategies and problem-solving skills to manage your symptoms more effectively. You may engage in exposure therapy, which is often a component of therapy that involves gradually approaching anxiety-provoking situations in a controlled manner, reducing your fear response over time. Additionally, I am training in ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) which I use regularly to help with acceptance of anxiety and improving overall emotional resilience.

Springfield is the Illinois state capital and the hometown of Abraham Lincoln, whose legacy pervades the city's identity and draws significant heritage tourism, and the mental health landscape here reflects the particular pressures of a mid-size state capital—government and public sector employment, political uncertainty, and the economic challenges of a city that has struggled to grow beyond its role as an administrative center. Memorial Health System and HSHS Medical Group both provide behavioral health services, and a private therapy sector serves the professional community. Common therapy concerns include government worker stress and bureaucratic burnout, economic anxiety in a city that has faced population decline, anxiety, depression, and the tensions of a state capital navigating chronic fiscal challenges and political conflict in Illinois state government. The city's central location also makes it a regional resource for mental health care across rural central Illinois.
