Anger Management
Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Our anger management counseling focuses on helping individuals recognize the signs of anger and develop effective strategies to cope with and express this powerful emotion constructively. Understanding that anger can significantly impact relationships, work life, and overall well-being, we provide a supportive environment where clients can explore the roots of their anger and learn to manage its expression healthily.
Tailored Strategies for Managing Anger
* Self-awareness Techniques: Through the use of techniques like mindfulness and self-reflection, we guide individuals in identifying the triggers and situational factors that lead to anger. Enhanced self-awareness makes it possible to anticipate and prepare for potentially infuriating situations.
* Cognitive-behavioral Therapy (CBT): A core component of our approach involves cognitive-behavioral therapy, which enables individuals to understand the thought processes that underpin anger and to develop healthier thinking patterns. By altering these thoughts, clients can change their emotional responses and behavioral outcomes.
* Communication Skills Training: As poor communication often exacerbates anger issues, we emphasize enhancing interpersonal skills. This includes learning assertive communication techniques that enable individuals to express their needs and emotions clearly and respectfully, without falling back on aggressive or passive-aggressive behaviors.
* Stress Reduction Techniques: Clients are equipped with techniques to reduce stress, such as deep breathing exercises, physical activity, or relaxation strategies. By lowering overall stress levels, individuals can better control their emotional responses, including anger.
* Problem-solving Skills: We work to strengthen problem-solving skills to help clients address the issues that trigger their anger in more effective ways. This includes focusing on identifying solutions rather than dwelling on problems.
* Group Therapy Sessions: For some, understanding and observing that others face similar challenges with anger can be incredibly reassuring and enlightening. Group sessions provide a forum for sharing experiences and strategies, further aiding the learning process.
Goals of Anger Management Therapy
Our objective is to empower individuals not just to manage their anger, but to transform it into a positive force that drives change rather than destruction. By the end of therapy, clients are better equipped to handle life’s frustrations without lashing out, leading to improved relationships, greater personal satisfaction, and a more balanced life.
If anger is affecting your life and relationships, reach out to us. Together, we can explore the root causes of your anger and provide you with the tools to manage it effectively.

Connie Wolf
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA in Counseling, LCPC, LIMHP, LMHC
Anger is a difficult emotion to experience, often complex and conflicting. My goal in helping clients that are wanting to address their anger, involves a comprehensive approach. Anger serves a function and our response can be changed by becoming aware of our beliefs about anger. Understanding how are body responds to threats internal or external is also important. Beyond an awareness, I help clients to identify and change cognitive beliefs and other aspects of their life, to reduce or eliminate unhelpful behaviors that they utilized in the past.

Anger Management
Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Anger can be a difficult emotion for many people - you may have received messages throughout your life about what is or isn't "okay" to feel, or you may feel at a loss of how to navigate the strong waves of anger when it hits. We work on understanding the role and function of anger, while working to reshape any messages that may be keeping you stuck. Building comfort and flexibility with anger is all about building our awareness of our cues; reshaping our relationship with anger; growing our regulation skills; and practicing how we can let our anger inform how we choose to respond, rather than being driven by the anger itself.

Eric Weinstein
Life Coach, Hypnosis and NLP, shamanic healing, Energy Psychology (including "tapping"), Voice Dialogue
I understand anger, the effect it has on one’s life, and how it affects the people around you. When clients see me as a peaceful guy, they’re seeing the result of a lot of healing work (with more to do).
I’ve had considerable success helping clients with anger problems, perhaps because I believe anger management is secondary to healing. I believe most people who are angry are like volcanos. Even though the anger that shows on the surface in the present is hot enough to burn the client and everyone around him or her, there’s even more heat and energy “under ground” – in the past.
So I usually focus on healing the past first – without having to spend a lot of time talking about it. Once that unresolved pain and anger is mostly dissolved, clients don’t get triggered as easily or as forcefully.
The next focus is on reducing everyday frustrations. When the little things don't bug you as much, you'll be cooler under pressure and when bigger problems come up. , and have enough presence of mind to use anger management tools instead of losing control.
Note: I don’t do court-mandated anger management. If you live in Fairfax County, call my colleague Gary Niki at 202-241-0944.

Marnie Kahn
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, HeartMath Certified Practitioner
Anger can be extremely destructive, not only physically, but it can destroy inner peace, balance and a sense of well being in one's life.
I use Acceptance Commitment Therapy with anger as it teaches individuals how to practice mindfulness in the moment, accepting the thoughts and feelings that are present, as they will pass as long as you remain mindful and aware of the values that are important to you.
I teach individuals how to use HeartMaths Quick Coherence Technique to shift from anger or frustration to a more coherent state of ease. The heart is negatively impacted by stress, anger and frustration, but can be shifted with intentional positive emotions, creating clarity, coherence and insights of the heart.
