Anxiety
Mrs Sacha Wheeler, LPC-S, BCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, BCPC
Anxiety is unique to other mental battles in that the more you focus on it, the stronger it grows. Often after you have experienced your first panic attack, you panic about panic. Avoidance behaviors grow and before you know it, your ability to function in this world has significantly been impaired. Anxiety has a way of slowly taking over your life and making you feel completely powerless. Learning how to get your life back through the therapy process can make all the difference!

Anxiety and fears are ways that our mind has to tell us to be careful... the thing is that it might have become over-protective and this is now causing us distress. There is a reason why your mind is telling you to be careful, we need to figure that out so we can work on the root of the problem.

Sydney Fowler
Counselor/Therapist, MT-BC, LPC
I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, including excessive worry, racing thoughts, and feelings of overwhelm. Anxiety can impact daily functioning, relationships, and overall well-being, and treatment focuses on helping clients better understand these patterns while developing effective coping strategies. I utilize a combination of talk therapy and evidence-based approaches, and also offer EMDR and music therapy when appropriate to support emotional regulation and deeper processing. My goal is to help clients manage anxiety more effectively and feel more confident in navigating everyday stressors.

Kevin Brown, Therapy in Mindfulness
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Anxiety is a natural part of the human experience—sometimes serving as a helpful guide, and other times becoming overwhelming or debilitating. Healthy anxiety keeps us engaged and responsible, while excessive anxiety can lead to avoidance, disconnection, and missed opportunities for growth. In our work together, we will explore how anxiety operates uniquely for you, develop tools to regulate and befriend it, and transform its energy into a force that supports your well-being and fulfillment. Through somatic awareness and nervous system regulation, we will cultivate resilience, helping you move through life with greater ease and confidence.

Anxiety
Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping clients reduce anxiety and OCD. Some of my clients have started therapy because they want to rid themselves of anxiety altogether. I try to remind them that people who don't have anxiety also have issues, think about psychopaths! Anxiety at it's core is trying to keep us safe. I like to re-tune anxiety, so that we can listen to the warnings without getting overwhelmed, shutting down, or avoiding the world and challenges. Research in psychology shows that we feel more confident and have higher self-esteem when we can accomplish difficult tasks. The goal is not to shy away from challenges and stressors, but to learn to face them, manage them better, and have success stories.

Aubrey Richardson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
For many high-achieving individuals, anxiety is not just worry. It is the constant pressure to anticipate, plan, and prevent things from going wrong. It often shows up as overthinking, difficulty relaxing, and feeling like you can never fully turn “off.”
Rather than just managing symptoms, our work focuses on reducing the underlying patterns of overcontrol and over-responsibility that keep anxiety in place, so you can experience more ease and less constant mental strain.

Jaclyn Davis
Psychologist, PhD
Anxiety can feel like a relentless mental spiral—racing thoughts, sleepless nights, and a constant sense of unease that’s hard to shake. It might show up in perfectionism, people-pleasing, or an overwhelming fear of the future, making it hard to relax or be present in your daily life. While short-term strategies can help manage symptoms, I work with clients to go deeper. Using a psychodynamic approach, I help uncover the underlying roots of your anxiety—often tied to past experiences, relational patterns, or internal conflicts. Through a trusting therapeutic relationship, we create space for insight, emotional healing, and lasting change—so you can move beyond coping and into a more grounded, connected way of living.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
"What If" thoughts trigger anxiety and fears. Most "What If" thoughts never come true, yet you probably spend so much time ruminating on them. I teach you how to explore and challenge your "What If" thoughts by looking at the data or evidence to counter those negative stressful thoughts. I also teach you strategies to calm your body so that it can get out of the "fight or flight" state.

Austin's explosive tech-industry growth has brought an influx of young professionals navigating burnout, identity shifts, and the pressures of rapid lifestyle change in an increasingly expensive city. The city has a large LGBTQ+ community and strong demand for affirming therapists specializing in gender identity, relationship dynamics, and life transitions. The University of Texas and major hospital systems including Ascension Seton and St. David's HealthCare provide substantial mental health resources alongside the city's growing network of private practices. Many Austin therapists offer telehealth, making it easier to find care across the wider metro and surrounding Hill Country communities.
