Columbia, Maryland therapist: Sarah Jacques, licensed clinical social worker
Anxiety or Fears

Sarah Jacques

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWC-C
Anxiety often shows up as constant “what if” thinking, racing thoughts, and a body that never feels at rest. It can feel like you’re always on high alert, unable to fully relax or enjoy the present moment. I help clients develop coping tools rooted in mindfulness, ACT, and DBT skills to quiet the noise, calm the body, and build confidence in handling uncertainty. Therapy provides a safe space to step out of the cycle of fear and move toward a life that feels steadier and more free.

Anxiety is a normal response to uncertainty that often leads to unhelpful behaviors.

Anxiety or Fears

Aysha DeSilva

Psychologist, Psy.D.
I specialize in treating anxiety and fears using a combination of psychodynamic, interpersonal, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR approaches. Anxiety can manifest as excessive worry, restlessness, racing thoughts, difficulty concentrating, irritability, muscle tension, and physical symptoms like a racing heart or shortness of breath. These methods help clients understand the underlying issues contributing to their anxiety, improve their relationships, and develop effective coping strategies to reduce symptoms and enhance overall well-being.

Ellicott City, Maryland therapist: Stacey Hellman, licensed clinical social worker
Anxiety or Fears

Stacey Hellman

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
Anxiety can be debilitating and scary in and of itself. An anxious person has a disregulated nervous system which needs to be addressed. While I am not an expert on specific phobias, I do know a lot of behavioral tools and techniques that can help manage anxiety in general. In more severe cases such as panic attacks or very debilitating anxiety, medication may be helpful to improve overall quality of life and day to day functioning. I don't prescribe medication but I can coordinate care with a doctor if needed. The techniques I use to mitigate symptoms of anxiety include specific breathing techniques and other body-centered tools that we can practice in session. Anxiety doesn't respond well to the client telling themself to "just calm down." Then it is up to the client to use these tools as much as possible on a daily basis in order to get the best results possible. Just like a medication, you can't just use a breathing technique one time and expect it to keep on working the next day. The nervous system is complicated and needs consistent soothing techniques in order to become more regulated. The more you practice the tools, the better they will work and the less anxious you will feel in general. When your nervous system is regulated, you are more resilient to stressful situations and are able to "bounce back" more quickly if you do get rattled.

Anxiety or Fears

Leslie Worley

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
Anxiety can be absolutely debilitating. It's one of the many feelings that we all just want to get rid of as soon as it hits us. It can be so controlling and dictate what we do, how we feel, etc. In my work, you will learn how to not let anxiety control your life and how to experience the symptoms for a shorter duration over time.

Hyattsville, Maryland therapist: Karla Lawrence, counselor/therapist
Anxiety or Fears

Karla Lawrence

Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, BC-TMH, CPC
Are you tired of fear and anxiety hijacking your life? Do you worry about the "what ifs" and then spend too much time trying to avoid things that haven't happened? Do you have trouble falling or staying asleep because your mind won't shut off? And are you tired of feeling like life is moving on without you while you just sit and worry as it passes you by? If this sounds familiar then you are not alone. Counseling can help you find freedom from the constant worry so you can start enjoying life again. You know that many of your fears are "irrational" but you just can't seem to stop yourself from worrying. We will work together to understand and reframe your fears to reduce their negative impact and increase your sense of control. You will learn effective strategies to soothe anxious feelings in your body and stop worry in its tracks before it spirals out of control. If you are ready to take your power back from anxiety, worry, or fear then I would love to help.
