Dr. Danielle Watkins at Sound Wellness Counseling PLLC

When working with individuals experiencing stress, I focus on helping them manage the physical, emotional, and mental impact of daily pressures, life changes, and overwhelming demands. This work provides tools to identify stress triggers, develop healthy coping strategies, and improve resilience. Counseling may include relaxation techniques, time-management skills, cognitive-behavioral approaches, and mindfulness practices. The goal is to help clients reduce stress, enhance emotional well-being, and navigate life’s challenges with greater balance and confidence.

There's no shortage of stress in our lives these days. We may focus on stress management or distress tolerance skills at first but eventually we will work to identify systemic actions that might shift your overall relation to stress and self.

Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
Stress often builds gradually until it becomes a constant background state — feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stretched, mentally overactive, or unable to fully rest even when there is space to do so. Many people describe feeling like they are always “on,” managing responsibilities, emotions, and expectations without enough internal recovery time.
In therapy, we explore both the external pressures contributing to stress and the internal patterns that shape how you respond to it. From a psychodynamic and trauma-informed perspective, chronic stress is often connected to long-standing roles such as over-functioning, caretaking, perfectionism, or difficulty setting boundaries.
Rather than focusing only on stress management techniques, this work also helps you understand what your nervous system is communicating through stress symptoms. Often, stress is a signal of unmet needs, accumulated emotional load, or disconnection from internal pacing and limits.
Using Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy, we slow down enough to notice the body-based experience of stress; the tightness, urgency, fatigue, or shutdown, and begin to relate to it with awareness rather than override it. This allows space for regulation and new internal choices to emerge.
Over time, clients often experience greater capacity to rest, clearer boundaries, and a more sustainable rhythm in daily life.

Michelle Borowitz
Psychologist, PhD
I know from experience the toll that stress and burnout can take on your well-being, and how difficult it can be to even imagine realistic change. If you're feeling burned out, we'll take a step back and look at your values - the important parts of your life that bring you meaning. Then we'll examine where there might be a mismatch and find areas where there might be potential for change. This could involve increasing your engagement in other activities that fulfill you, removing yourself from a situation or environment that depletes you, strategically engaging with your support network, or other strategies that fit your personal experience. I don't take big decisions lightly, and if considering a major change we'll check in throughout to ensure the steps you're taking are value-consistent and take into account the full context of your needs.

Work or interpersonal stress may be a sign of a change that needs to be made, or may be radio static from anxious parts. We'll work together to discern the message and act from a place of deeper understanding.

Often the pressure we feel on the outside reflects something we’ve been carrying on the inside. Together we’ll slow things down enough to hear what’s underneath the stress
