Anxiety or Fears
Alabaster Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Anxiety has a way of making the world feel smaller, stealing your peace, keeping you up at night, and convincing you that the worst is always just around the corner. At Alabaster Counseling, we specialize in helping girls and women of all ages understand and overcome anxiety and fears, whether they show up as constant worry, panic attacks, social anxiety, phobias, or a persistent sense of dread that is hard to explain. Through evidence-based CBT techniques, we help our clients gently challenge the thoughts that fuel their fears, develop grounding tools for real-life moments, and rebuild a sense of calm, confidence, and safety from the inside out.

Anxiety or Fears
Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Anxiety often shows up as persistent tension, overthinking, or a sense of always needing to stay in control. Many of the women I work with are highly capable and used to pushing through these feelings, even when the mental and emotional load becomes exhausting. Rather than focusing only on managing symptoms, therapy offers space to understand what anxiety has been trying to protect and how it developed over time. Together, we work toward creating a greater sense of internal steadiness and more flexible ways of responding to stress and uncertainty.

Anxiety or Fears
Mae Winters
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Anxiety can show up as constant worry, racing thoughts, physical tension, or a sense of always being “on edge.” For many people, fears become consuming and start to interfere with daily life, relationships, and decision-making. I work with adults who feel stuck in cycles of rumination, avoidance, or overwhelm and want relief that goes beyond surface-level coping.
My approach focuses on helping clients understand how anxiety functions, build emotional regulation skills, and respond differently to fear rather than fighting it. Using evidence-based, anxiety-informed strategies, therapy supports clients in increasing tolerance for discomfort, reducing avoidance, and creating a greater sense of calm and control. The goal is not to eliminate anxiety entirely, but to help it take up less space so clients can live more fully and confidently.

Dr. Allison Williams
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I provide virtual services for those who suffer endlessly at the mercy of their minds: those who spiral, panic, panic about panicking...This may include those who have generalized anxiety, a specific phobia, or who struggle with perfectionism or "Type A" behavior.
