My Approach to Anxiety Therapy

Anxiety can be a truly debilitating experience. It can steep even the most mundane activities in worry and fear, leaving you exhausted, overwhelmed, and wanting to avoid all of it. Symptoms like racing thoughts, restlessness, heart palpitations, and difficulty sleeping can leave you struggling to manage the day-to-day tasks that everyone else seems to tackle without thought. When you have anxiety, regular tasks like grocery shopping, taking a test at school or having a quick talk with your boss can cause added stress and fear that makes your life and emotions - let alone your heart rate - feel impossible to control.

Anxiety is often an invisible burden despite its glaring impact on your life. It can be hard to explain to someone who hasn't experienced what it truly feels like, let alone understand it yourself. It's no wonder anxiety can be so isolating, and spending too much time alone with your spiraling, nagging thoughts only makes them seem louder each time they come back around. 

No matter what shape anxiety takes in your life, it can be downright debilitating. Maybe your worries keep you at night or interfere with your grades. Perhaps your anxiety makes it hard to focus and be the present parent, spouse, or friend you wish you could be.

It's important to know that hope and help are available in finding freedom from anxiety. As your anxiety counselor, I won't just be a trusted person you can release your thoughts to so you can feel temporarily relieved or less alone. I will listen to what's going on in your mind and examine how it's affecting your life to help develop the best strategies to find lasting freedom from anxiety.

In my anxiety counseling practice in Houston, I provide an environment of support, understanding, and accountability for those struggling with anxiety. Together we will develop the skills necessary to manage the sources and symptoms of your anxiety so that you can regain control over your life. We will work together to create healthy boundaries, identify unhelpful thought patterns, explore emotions, and learn coping mechanisms to move forward more easily.

During our anxiety counseling sessions, we can identify triggers and practice responding differently, which will clarify how best to manage these feelings of fear or panic that come with an anxious mental state. This process looks different for everyone because it is tailored to each client's needs and unique circumstances; however, it always involves learning new skills for managing stressors and developing healthier habits that lead to lasting peace of mind and joy in daily living.

I understand that the idea of therapy can be just as daunting as anxiety itself. Still, I also know it's extremely rewarding and worthwhile to have the guidance of a professional with experience managing anxiety disorders. I will be here with you every step of the way, encouraging you along this journey while also holding you accountable for taking action steps towards positive change.

If you are ready to take back control of your life from the grips of anxiety, I invite you to reach out today for a free 15-minute phone consultation. Let's discuss how we can work together to regain your freedom from anxiety!
