Anxiety
Kenny Levine
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Are anxiety and fears impacting your daily life? I offer specialized treatment using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the gold standard for treating anxiety. Through techniques like cognitive restructuring, exposure therapy, and relaxation training, CBT provides a structured and evidence-based approach to reduce anxiety symptoms.
In a supportive and nonjudgmental environment, we will work together to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop practical coping skills, and gradually confront anxiety-provoking situations. Each treatment plan is personalized, ensuring interventions meet your unique needs and preferences.
With tailored CBT, you can achieve tangible and sustainable improvements in managing anxiety, fostering resilience, and reclaiming control over your life. Let’s work together to help you overcome anxiety and lead a more fulfilling life.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Anxiety isn’t just “overthinking”—it’s a full-body response that can leave you feeling on edge, stuck, or constantly bracing for what might go wrong. For many people, it shows up as racing thoughts, difficulty relaxing, avoidance, or a sense that your mind just won’t turn off. And in a world that often is unpredictable or overwhelming, anxiety doesn’t come out of nowhere. At Nour Counseling, we take a grounded, informed approach that helps you understand what’s actually happening in your brain and body—so your experience starts to make sense, not feel like something is wrong with you.
We prioritize psychoeducation as part of the work. We’ll walk you through the neuroscience behind anxiety and fear—how your nervous system responds to perceived threat, why certain patterns get reinforced, and what keeps anxiety cycling. But we don’t stop at insight. We actively help you build practical, usable tools that fit your real life—not ideal routines that fall apart after a week. Together, we develop strategies you can actually integrate day-to-day, whether that’s regulating your nervous system, shifting thought patterns, or approaching feared situations in manageable ways. The goal is not to eliminate anxiety entirely, but to help you feel more equipped, more in control, and less at the mercy of it.

You don’t have to push through it alone — we can help you move from surviving to feeling safe in your body again.

Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
Anxiety can feel like your mind won’t slow down and your body won’t relax—constantly overthinking, second-guessing, or expecting the worst. I specialize in helping individuals understand the root of their anxiety and learn how to manage it in real time, not just talk about it. Using a combination of practical tools and mind-body techniques, we’ll work on calming your nervous system, challenging unhelpful patterns, and building confidence in your ability to handle what’s in front of you. You don’t have to keep living in a constant state of stress—there are ways to feel more grounded, steady, and in control.

Paulina Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSWA, LCASA
Anxiety often shows up as a constant state of bracing; a sense that you need to stay alert just to get through the day. In our work together, I focus on creating a steady, supportive container where anxiety can soften enough to be understood. We pay attention to how fear has been trying to protect you, while building practical tools that help your nervous system feel less alone with what it’s carrying. Over time, this work supports more steadiness, choice, and ease in daily life.

Durham is home to Duke University and Duke University Medical Center, one of the leading psychiatric research and treatment centers in the country — an institution that deeply shapes the quality and sophistication of the local therapy community. The Research Triangle's concentration of academics, researchers, and healthcare professionals creates demand for therapists with intellectual depth and experience with high-achievement anxiety, identity work, and the stresses of competitive knowledge-economy careers. Durham also has a vibrant Black community with deep historical roots, and therapists offering culturally affirming care, racial identity work, and intergenerational trauma support are well represented. The city's progressive culture sustains strong demand for LGBTQ+-affirming therapists, and many practitioners integrate social-justice-informed approaches across their work.
