I am experienced in using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety in its many forms. Acceptance and Commitment therapy is a very effective treatment which can help alleviate symptoms of anxiety.

Jennifer Francke Psychotherapy, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LIMHP, LPC, LADC, LMHC
If anxiety is impacting your daily life, relationships, or overall well-being, therapy can help you regain a sense of peace and control. I understand how overwhelming anxiety can be—whether it’s constant worry, racing thoughts, or panic attacks. Through a compassionate, non-judgmental approach, I offer personalized therapy to help you uncover the root causes of your anxiety and develop effective coping strategies. Using evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we will work together to challenge negative thought patterns, build resilience, and reduce the intensity of anxious feelings. I also provide tools like relaxation techniques and exposure therapy to help you face your fears in a safe and controlled environment. Therapy offers a transformative step toward healing and creating a calmer, more balanced life. If you’re ready to take that step, I am here to support you on your journey to managing anxiety.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for anxiety, panic attacks, chronic stress, excessive worry, and nervous system overwhelm. Many high-achieving professionals, business owners, caregivers, and driven individuals silently struggle with anxiety while continuing to perform at a high level in work, relationships, and daily responsibilities. Over time, chronic anxiety can lead to emotional exhaustion, difficulty relaxing, sleep problems, irritability, panic symptoms, burnout, and a constant feeling of being “on edge.”
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to anxiety treatment, helping clients understand and address the deeper emotional and neurological patterns contributing to anxiety symptoms. Anxiety often develops from unresolved trauma, chronic stress exposure, attachment wounds, perfectionism, high-pressure environments, or painful life experiences that continue to activate the nervous system long after the original events occurred.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, mindfulness-based approaches, and holistic therapeutic methods to help clients reduce anxiety, process emotional triggers, and restore a greater sense of calm, clarity, and control.
Therapy focuses on identifying the root causes of anxiety rather than only managing symptoms. Clients work to better understand emotional triggers, reduce nervous system hyperactivation, improve coping strategies, and develop healthier emotional and relational patterns that support long-term emotional wellness.
Brad works collaboratively with clients to create an individualized treatment plan tailored to their personal goals, lifestyle demands, and emotional needs. Therapy provides a confidential, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients can safely explore the factors contributing to stress, anxiety, panic, or emotional overwhelm while building practical strategies for lasting change.
Many successful individuals become trapped in cycles of overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or constant productivity that leave little room for rest, emotional connection, or peace of mind. Brad’s approach helps clients move beyond survival mode and regain a healthier balance emotionally, mentally, and relationally.
The goal of therapy is not simply to reduce anxiety symptoms, but to help clients restore emotional stability, improve relationships, strengthen resilience, and create a more grounded, balanced, and fulfilling life.
Virtual counseling and online EMDR therapy sessions are available, providing confidential and convenient access to specialized trauma-focused therapy from the comfort and privacy of home.

Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
Addicts are often scared of giving up the only thing that seems to be getting them through their lives - and the families are anxious and fearful that something terrible will happen to the addict they love. This kind of life is full of fear and anxiety - and this can change for everyone.
