Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I would assist individuals grappling with stress by initially aiding them in identifying and comprehending the origins of their stressors. We would delve into any underlying emotional disturbances, trauma-related triggers, or relationship issues that contribute to their stress levels. Employing therapeutic methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), I would facilitate the process of challenging negative thought patterns and fostering effective coping strategies for stress management. Moreover, I would provide guidance in implementing relaxation techniques, mindfulness exercises, and boundary-setting skills to alleviate stress and enhance emotional well-being. The goal is to address the fundamental emotional and relational factors while equipping them with practical coping mechanisms, ultimately enhancing their ability to manage stress and improve overall quality of life.

Dr. Paige Hover
Psychologist, PsyD
Stress is commonplace at work, home, anywhere really and some people say they thrive under it. Stress that isn't managed well can also be very damaging to mental and physical health and can lead to burnout. I can help you understand what is making you feel stressed and set boundaries to reduce that stress. Then when you have a better understanding of yourself, I can teach you how to better manage stress in the future.

In therapy, we will explore the sources and impact of stress in your lives, as well as develop coping strategies to manage stress more effectively. Together we will identify stressors and triggers, as well as develop relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, mindfulness, and progressive muscle relaxation to reduce physiological arousal. Additionally, therapy may involve cognitive restructuring to challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs about stressors, as well as problem-solving skills to address stressors more effectively.

Stress
Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Unresolved stress can really hit hard for folks dealing with addictions, relationship bumps, or depression. Take work stress, for example. When it piles up, some people might turn to alcohol or drugs to deal, which can lead to addiction struggles. Others might notice their relationships start to strain as they try to handle all the pressure. And to top it off, high stress levels can make depression symptoms even worse, making it tough to handle everyday stuff. If someone's going through major stress, I'd aim to create a safe space for them to chat about what's going on. We'd talk about ways to cope that don't involve substances, like exercise or spending time with friends.
