Anxiety or Fears
Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
Therapy for anxiety is an effective and extensively utilized method for assisting individuals in managing and overcoming anxiety symptoms. Anxiety is a prevalent mental disorder characterized by excessive concern, dread, and physiological arousal. Individuals can investigate the core causes of their anxiety and develop coping strategies to reduce its impact on their daily lives in a safe and supportive environment provided by therapy.
The choice of therapy is determined by the individual's specific requirements, the nature and severity of their anxiety, and their personal preferences. Numerous clinicians may employ a combination of therapeutic approaches tailored to the unique circumstances of each patient.
If anxiety substantially impacts a person's daily life and well-being, it is strongly advised that they seek assistance from a qualified mental health professional with experience treating anxiety. Learning to manage stress and live a more fulfilling life can be aided by the support and guidance provided by psychotherapy.

Levana Slabodnick
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW-S, LCSW
Anxiety is always a sign of an unmet need or lack of confidence in your ability to handle challenges. I offer trauma focused therapy which helps you look under the surface to find the root of your anxiety, provide healing for unresolved pain and find a new, supportive way to deal with stressors. In the case of specific fears or phobias, I offer hypnotherapy which can help reduce or eliminate the panic related to these fears.

Jennifer Cain
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Anxiety and fears are extremely common. They are also highly treatable. Worry, tension, phobias, perfectionism, or a general sense that something bad might happen at any moment can feel debilitating. If these problems are getting in the way of fully living your life, I will help you tackle them with actionable steps to get your life back. Behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral strategies are effective for many people. I also help you get to the root of your anxiety or fear when needed. If your child is anxious, there are specific things you can do as parents, to help free your child from their fears and worry. I will work with you to implement an effective plan.

Pharion Counseling, LLC
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC)
Coming from the education world, I have worked with hundreds of students and clients who have daily test anxiety. When I say test anxiety, I am associating that with "life" tests as well. I have been very successful in retraining clients in understanding what their brain is presenting to them as a "problem" or a "worry." It is my goal to build such a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients where they trust and believe that their therapy is being successful, because it is.

Anxiety can make your world feel incredibly small, leaving you trapped in constant loops of overthinking, physical tension, and overwhelming self-doubt. At Full Circle Mental Health LLC, I provide a safe, compassionate telehealth space for adults who are tired of just surviving day-to-day stress and are ready to reclaim control over their lives.

Whether your anxiety is rooted in daily life transitions, historical family trauma, or the isolating process of religious deconstruction, we will partner together to uncover the underlying patterns holding you back. You don’t have to untangle this heavy weight alone. Through our virtual sessions across Ohio, we will focus on deepening your self-compassion, building practical coping tools, and creating a personalized roadmap toward lasting internal calm.

Columbus is home to Ohio State University — one of the largest universities in the country — creating sustained demand for therapists specializing in academic pressure, young adult identity, and sports psychology. The city's position as Ohio's state capital and a growing tech and healthcare hub has accelerated demographic change, with therapists increasingly addressing burnout and adjustment among a fast-growing professional population. OhioHealth, Nationwide Children's Hospital, and the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center provide major institutional mental health anchors for the region. Columbus also has one of the largest Somali communities in the United States, making culturally competent and multilingual therapists who specialize in refugee trauma and identity an important part of the local therapy landscape.
