David Schaffer, MSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (WV), Licensed Independent Social Worker (OH)
I particularly like working with people who experience anxiety of all forms. The first area of anxiety I developed a special interest in is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It really strikes me how "crazy" people feel when they struggle with obsessive thoughts and the compulsions that go along with them. When you are able to help people change their reaction to their obsessive thoughts, it is remarkable the improvement they can experience.
I enjoy the whole range of anxiety disorders from the worry of generalized anxiety to the body focus of panic to the avoidance reminders of traumatic experiences from posttraumatic stress. It feels like this is an area where I understand people's experiences and where the ways I tend to work with people seem to make a difference, often very quickly.

Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
In our dedicated anxiety and fear management counseling, we offer compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to help individuals navigate the complexities of anxiety, panic, and phobias. Recognizing that anxiety can manifest in diverse ways—from generalized anxiety to specific phobias and panic attacks—we provide a supportive and understanding environment where clients can safely confront their fears and learn practical strategies for managing anxiety.
Personalized Approaches to Anxiety Management
* Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): A cornerstone of our approach, CBT helps individuals understand the relationship between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through CBT, clients learn to identify and challenge distorted thought patterns and beliefs contributing to anxiety, replacing them with healthier, more balanced ways of thinking.
* Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques: Incorporating mindfulness practices and relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and meditation, can significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety. These methods teach clients how to stay present and grounded, managing anxiety symptoms as they arise.
* Exposure Counseling: Gradually and safely exposing individuals to the source of their fears in a controlled setting can help diminish the power those fears hold.
* Stress Management: Learning to manage stress through time management, lifestyle changes, and healthy coping mechanisms can significantly reduce overall anxiety levels. We work with clients to identify sources of stress in their lives and develop practical solutions to address them.
* Strengths-Based Approach: Emphasizing the strengths and resources that each individual brings into therapy allows for a more empowering approach to managing anxiety. By building on these strengths, clients can foster a greater sense of confidence and resilience.
Goals of Counseling for Anxiety or Fears
The ultimate goal of our counseling sessions is not merely to reduce symptoms but to enhance overall well-being and quality of life. Through counseling, clients can achieve:
* Increased Coping Skills: Gain a toolkit of strategies to manage anxiety symptoms effectively when they arise.
* Improved Self-Understanding: A deeper insight into the triggers of anxiety and how past experiences may influence current reactions.
* Enhanced Quality of Life: With reduced anxiety, individuals can enjoy more fulfilling social interactions, better performance at work or school, and a richer, more engaging life.
If you or someone you know is struggling with anxiety or fears, let's work together to develop a comprehensive, personalized path to managing these feelings and fostering a more peaceful, satisfying life.
