Anxiety therapists in Bethesda, Maryland MD
Andrea Hamilton
Counselor/Therapist, NCC
Navigating the realm of anxiety treatment as a therapist is a delicate and personalized journey. Drawing on a repertoire of evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I collaborate with clients to identify and reframe negative thought patterns, empowering them to regain control over their anxious minds. Through empathetic listening, tailored interventions, and a commitment to fostering coping strategies, my goal is to guide individuals toward a place of resilience and inner calm, allowing them to rewrite their narrative beyond anxiety's grip.

Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
Anxiety or Fears are the most common conditions I have treated in my 50 years of practice, and the techniques I utilize can be very effective for these conditions. A certain amount of anxiety and fear can be functional, but too much of it can be crippling. Those who suffer with early trauma or PTSD from any time in life, can manifest symptoms of anxiety and fear. In-depth psychotherapy can also be effective and may be required to heal the source of chronic patterns of anxiety and fear. I offer regular free zoom seminars, which offer relaxation exercises to reduce stress.

Amanda Shrekenhamer
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC
The goal of working on your anxiety in therapy is to feel more relaxed in situations where you might usually feel overwhelmed or panicked. We do this by identifying the underlying thoughts, emotions, and stressors contributing to the anxiety, and then develop ways to cope so that you feel relief from your symptoms.
Doing this work can feel scary, as even the discomfort of anxiety can feel more comfortable than the unknown. With that in mind, I strive to create a safe an accepting space, where we work together at whatever pace that you need.

Daniel McNulty
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
It is my goal to cultivate our relationship by providing a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you can feel understood and heard. To find the method that works best for each individual client struggling with anxiety, I draw from psychodynamic, humanistic, and existential perspectives. Additionally, I incorporate a variety of modalities into my work with clients including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing.

Shelby Willoughby
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
My hope is to offer a creative outlet for my clients to express and explore their anxieties or fears visually, facilitating non-verbal processing and insight into underlying emotions. Clients may also find that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps them identify and challenge negative thought patterns and beliefs contributing to anxiety, while incorporating exposure techniques to gradually confront feared situations. I find it is important to provide a supportive and empathetic environment for individuals to explore their anxieties or fears at their own pace, fostering self-acceptance and personal growth.
