Anxiety or Fears
Abby Cobey
Psychologist, PsyD
A lot of us deal with fears and anxiety. I like to think of fear as the emotion and anxiety as the disorder of the emotion out of control. Stress is mixed in here too. It can be hard to treat anxiety and fear because ultimately you'll have to face that which you are afraid of and that's uncomfortable. But we can take steps to build your confidence in facing the challenge ahead.

Empowering Wellness Counseling Solutions
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, LPC
Treating Anxiety and Fears: Awareness, Acceptance, and Action
At Empower Wellness Counseling Solutions, we help clients manage anxiety and fears using our Awareness, Acceptance, and Action framework, incorporating CBT therapy and mindfulness-based techniques to foster long-term resilience.
1. Awareness: Understanding Anxiety Patterns
We help clients recognize triggers, automatic thoughts, and physical symptoms of anxiety. Through cognitive-behavioral strategies, clients identify negative thought loops and gain insight into how anxiety impacts their daily life.
Supportive Activities:
Thought tracking and journaling
Identifying cognitive distortions (catastrophizing, overgeneralization)
Mindfulness exercises to observe thoughts without judgment
2. Acceptance: Reducing Avoidance and Fear Response
Rather than fighting anxiety, we guide clients toward accepting discomfort as part of growth. By normalizing fears and reducing self-judgment, they gain confidence in managing anxious thoughts.
Supportive Activities:
Exposure therapy techniques (gradual desensitization)
Self-compassion exercises to reduce inner criticism
Breathing and grounding techniques to regulate emotions
3. Action: Building Coping Strategies and Confidence
Clients implement personalized coping skills to navigate anxious situations effectively. We focus on practical tools to regain control over thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Supportive Activities:
CBT-based reframing of anxious thoughts
Progressive relaxation and guided imagery
Behavioral activation to counter avoidance and build resilience
By integrating CBT therapy, mindfulness, and action-based coaching, we empower clients to break free from anxiety, develop confidence, and reclaim control over their lives.

Anxiety or Fears
Joshua Redding
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Many complain of feeling nervous or anxious, but few understand how severe anxiety can be debilitating and life-altering. Even if it's just occasional fears or specific phobias, some things can be done to help alleviate these concerns. It's important that anxiety is treated as it's often a symptom of other issues in your life and relationships and therapy can help you understand why it happens and how to improve the outcomes. Consider booking a free 30-minute consult to explore more.

Finding Clarity
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
"It's normal to feel anxious from time to time, especially if your life is stressful. However, excessive, ongoing anxiety and worry that are difficult to control and interfere with day-to-day activities may be a sign of generalized anxiety disorder. It's possible to develop generalized anxiety disorder as a child or an adult. Generalized anxiety disorder has symptoms that are similar to panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and other types of anxiety, but they're all different conditions.
Living with generalized anxiety disorder can be a long-term challenge. In many cases, it occurs along with other anxiety or mood disorders. In most cases, generalized anxiety disorder improves with psychotherapy or medications. Making lifestyle changes, learning coping skills and using relaxation techniques also can help." - Mayo Clinic
