Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Lake Norman of Catawba, NC.

Research has shown that therapy is thee best approach for anxiety and depression. This is due to the fact that therapy treats more than the symptom of the problem. I tailor the therapy in this area to your specific symptoms and concerns. My leading approach in this area is defiantly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This allows me to address the negative patters and distortions and the view that one has. We then create a new way of managing and thinking about the behaviors, thoughts and patterns.

Anxiety can take away your personal power at the most important moments and start to have too much control over your behavior. Over time, chronic stress can break down a healthy view of yourself. Starting from our first session, I will support your understanding of anxiety, its biological effects, and its impact on your relationships. I will support you to build on developing insight and develop habits that support anxiety and stress reduction. At the end of therapy, you will have a clear plan for sustained control over anxiety and chronic stress. I'm reachable through phone for a free 20-minute consultation to further discuss your needs and answer any questions about my therapy approach.

Working through anxiety and stress within the experiential model the client receives immediate feedback of strengths, obstacles, and opportunities for behavior change to learn, practice and develop coping skills. The experiential process is structured for the client to gain awareness to thoughts, feelings, and behaviors associated with the anxiety inducing circumstances as they may be rooted to the past and causing dysfunction in the present. The immediacy of this process provides opportunities to process emotions, practice relaxation and diversion techniques, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to work through the anxiety and stress inducing experience with support of the therapist.
