Stress
Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.

Stress
Nikita Pion-Klockner, Holistic Therapy, LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, LCSW-C
Chronic stress can leave you feeling exhausted, irritable, or disconnected from yourself and your life. I work with stress through a mind–body lens, helping you understand how your nervous system responds to ongoing demands and how stress is held in the body. Therapy supports you in slowing down, restoring regulation, and developing sustainable practices that create resilience, balance, and a deeper sense of calm while navigating daily life.

Stress
Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Stress factors in to all of our lives and each one of us handles stress differently. Research has found that stress wreaks havoc on our physical bodies and our emotional lives. 2020 was particularly hard on many people as stress mounted due to a global pandemic, physical and social lockdown and isolation, loss of jobs, illness, death, and political discord. These stressors often outweigh the resources that we have and begin to take a toll on the way we feel and our relationships with ourselves and others. It is my goal to bring these stressors to light and find ways to navigate each individuals world in order to find more peace and balance even within the chaos.

Denise Jones
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, LCSW-C
Stress looks different on everyone, and even different on the same person at different times! Accordingly, different people experience stress under different circumstances. One thing remains consistent however; for the clinician, helping someone process stress is highly individualized work that relies, first and foremost, on the client's presenting issue. The EMDR intake process takes a radically different approach from traditional talk therapy in the way it looks at a client's presenting issue. It not only provides the client with self-calming techniques that can be used at any time; it also reframes the client's presenting issue in a way that allows the client to begin processing their response to the stressor rather than re-experiencing it.

Laura Silva, LicMHC - Online/Virtual Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, Traditional, Integrative, Heart Centered counseling. Coach, Educator, Depth Therapy.
I have years of Mindfulness study, practice and personal retreats, with many Buddhist teachers especially at the Barre Insight Meditation Society, Barre Massachusetts not far from my home. I teach Mindfulness mediation and inner awareness to all clients.
Additionally, clients learn the deeper roots to stress and ways to realign with inner stability and balance. Eckhart Tolle states that "stress is caused by being here but wanting to be there." "Access the power of NOW and know that everything is happening FOR you not to you, and stress will dissolve." Words of wisdom. Email for free consultation call.

Stress
Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Stress is a normal part of life, but when it becomes chronic or overwhelming, it can affect your mood, relationships, physical health, and overall well-being. Whether you're managing work demands, academic pressures, caregiving responsibilities, or major life transitions, therapy can provide a space to better understand your stress and develop healthier ways of coping.
Drawing primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches, we'll explore the connections between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to identify the patterns that may be contributing to your stress. Together, we'll develop practical strategies to help you feel more balanced, resilient, and equipped to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence.

Stress
Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
You may be the person others rely on, but constantly functioning at a high level can leave you depleted, irritable, disconnected from yourself, or unable to relax even when you finally have time to do so. I help clients develop practical strategies for managing stress while exploring the deeper patterns that make it difficult to slow down, set limits, ask for help, or prioritize their own needs. Together, we work to understand why the pressure feels so difficult to put down and develop a different relationship with responsibility, rest, and the expectations you place on yourself.

Stress
Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Many of my clients are high-functioning (or, more accurately, overfunctioning) adults who are accustomed to being productive, responsible, and constantly in motion. They may appear capable and successful while privately feeling overwhelmed, depleted, or unable to slow down. Because they can continue meeting expectations, they may not seek support until the strain begins affecting their health, relationships, work, or ability to enjoy their lives.
Clients often come to therapy when they recognize that their current level of stress is no longer sustainable, even if they are not yet sure what needs to change. Our work can help you identify the demands, circumstances, expectations, and patterns keeping you in a go-go-go cycle; distinguish what can be changed from what must be managed; and make realistic decisions about priorities, boundaries, responsibilities, and recovery. The goal is not simply to help you tolerate an unsustainable life, but to develop a healthier and more sustainable way of living and functioning.

Stress
Douglas LaBier, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Much of the stress I see in my patient's lives is rooted in a way of life and personal values that conflict with an inner sense of dissatisfaction in work, their intimate partnership, or overall way of life. Stress than becomes a natural expression of these conflicts, Therapy helps uncover what's going on, and can point to what the patient must confront and deal with in more fulfilling ways, in order to grow beyond just "coping" or "managing" stress as a permanent state or being.

Stress
Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
Stress is a normal, useful response to life; it’s the survival mechanism that helps us grow, learn and succeed. Distress is the negative impact of prolonged, severe, and unmanaged stress. Together we will co-create tools to abate and dispel your distress while capitalizing on good stress. I am NOT offering therapy—I leave the work of diagnosis and treatment of medical issues to medical professionals. However, coaching can absolutely complement and supplement therapy work; our work together will be therapeutic without being therapy. Taking a 5Ps approach to stress management, together we can explore your "perception" of your current stressors; gain "perspective" on the origins and instigators of your stress and on how you’d prefer to feel in the future; "prioritize" manageable and sustainable steps toward this future; ensure they are aligned with your professional and personal "purpose"; and put into "practice" the tools and behaviors to get you to that positive stress level.

Stress
Dr. Kristyn Neckles
Psychologist, Psy.D.
When you are accustomed to managing responsibilities, solving problems, and being someone others can depend on, stress can quietly become a way of life. Your mind may rarely switch off, your to do list never seems finished, and even rest can feel difficult when there is always something or someone needing your attention.
I help clients identify what is fueling the pressure and develop practical, sustainable ways to manage it. Together, we can address overthinking, perfectionism, competing demands, boundaries, emotional overload, and the expectations you place on yourself while strengthening your ability to respond to stress with greater intention.
Our work is not about helping you become better at carrying an unsustainable load. It is about creating space to breathe, reset priorities, establish healthier boundaries, and build a life where your own well being has a place alongside everything and everyone you care about.

Through a mix of meditative practices and clinical tools you will learn ways to effectively manage and prevent the accumulation of stress.

Stress
Karen J. Osterle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSSA, LICSW
A life well-lived involves stress, for sure, but we have to be able to function well in life. Psychotherapy is here for you when all of the friendly advice, the self-help books and web articles, and all of your existing coping mechanisms and activities have not been working for you. I take a supportive, collaborative, and persistent approach to encourage you to build insight and capacity for coming up with new endings for the same old stories in your life, so that you can feel and function better as soon as possible. I use the information that you present (or, in some instances, avoid) to help you make sense of the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that undermine your relationships and productivity. The therapy process should be more than just interesting, I believe.--It must be a fully engaging experience that results in a real sense of growth and change, evident even within the first two or three sessions.

Lauro Guzman
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW
Stress is the body's reaction to challenging situations. Stress can be caused by positive or negative life changes, and it can lead to physical and psychological issues. Stress can manifest itself in different ways, including excessive worrying, inability to sleep at night. I work with therapy clients to help better manage and overcome it.

Stress
Kelly McAleer
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Stress is part of life, but it can become overwhelming when paired with perfectionism, constant striving, or the feeling that you should always be doing more. I work with adults managing demanding professional and personal lives who find it difficult to slow down, set limits, or feel satisfied with what they’ve accomplished. Therapy can help address the patterns that contribute to chronic stress and burnout while creating a more sustainable way of approaching work, relationships, and everyday responsibilities.
