Anxiety
Valentina Verani, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Anxiety can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck in cycles of overthinking, or constantly anticipating the worst. I work with adults experiencing generalized anxiety, panic, excessive worry, perfectionism, and fear-based thinking to help them better understand the patterns driving their distress. Together, we'll develop practical strategies to manage anxiety while building greater confidence, emotional resilience, and the ability to respond to life's challenges with clarity rather than fear.

New Bedford is a southeastern Massachusetts city with one of the most distinctive identities of any American city of its size—Herman Melville's Moby-Dick opens here, and the city was once the richest per capita in America thanks to its whaling industry—now home to the highest-volume commercial fishing port in the United States by dollar value, with an economy still anchored by fishing, manufacturing, and logistics. The city has a large Cape Verdean-American community (one of the largest in the world outside Cape Verde), as well as significant Portuguese and Brazilian populations, and the intersection of these communities' mental health needs—including the specific experiences of Cape Verdean identity, immigration, and intergenerational stress—creates important considerations for culturally competent care. Southcoast Health provides behavioral health services, and community health organizations serve the diverse population. Common therapy concerns include fishing industry occupational trauma and risk, Cape Verdean and Portuguese-American identity and immigration stress, economic anxiety, substance use (New Bedford has been significantly affected by opioids), and the mental health challenges of a proud working-class city navigating industrial and demographic change.
