Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Cibolo, TX.

From feeling the pre-presentation jitters to getting butterflies before a big date, anxiety is something that all of us will experience from time to time.

We specialize in all types of anxiety and can help you feel in control and at peace in your life.

Anxiety can manifest in many different forms, and can deeply interfere with quality of life. Anxiety is a natural human emotion that we all experience (for some of us it is situational, and for others, it can be more generalized). When anxiety is experienced in extremes, or feels unmanageable, therapy can be a valuable resource for discovering how to better manage and cope with anxiety.

Anxiety and stress make it impossible for you to think through immediate issues let alone work through complex interpersonal conflict and trauma. I work with my clients on mindful approaches to anxiety. It's important to utilize skills that help us relax our bodies so that our minds can come back online and work through the actual problems we face.

Anxiety can be a source of distress in your life. It may prevent you from feeling secure and at peace in your daily environments. After an assessment, this condition can be treated successfully. Many treatment methods are available. Stress can also interfere with your life. If it is prolonged and intense, the quality of your psycho-emotional and physical health can deteriorate. Call me for a confidential clinical evaluation. If needed, appropriate treatment can be implemented for your particular situation.

People have told me that anxiety feels like a rubber band being stretched to its breaking point. In fact I've felt that myself, but never described it so well. As unpleasant as it feels, it serves to force us to look for solutions to problems. It seems to scream at us, "What am I going to do?" The anxiety worsens when we don't like the answers, or can't choose between a few, or, sometimes, can't define the problem but we know it's there. I will teach you quick, time honored techniques that generally ease anxiety quickly, and often help people sleep better and focus better so that problems and issues can be addressed one-step-at-a-time, via traditional counseling

Everyone experiences anxiety at some point, but for some the anxiety is so frequent or intense that it interferes with their lives or even triggers panic attacks. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help my clients get a sense of control over their own anxiety. We collaborate to learn skills to reduce the frequency or intensity of the anxious feelings, to tolerate the anxiety when it does occur so they can still function through it, and to practice habits that reduce stress and improve general mental health.

Lake Austin Psychotherapy offers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety disorder as well as EMDR (Eye Movement, Desensitization and Reprocessing) to accelerate symptom relief from anxiety, stress and panic disorder. Somatic Experiencing is also incorporated to promote mind-body connections and autonomic regulation for heightened nervous system response.

While most treatment approaches for anxiety and stress are effective on the surface, they don’t treat the real problem. Mantras, deep breathing, and rational dialogues about your fear being irrational rarely work---for most people don’t believe it or you! Imagine if you can trick the brain into changing without you telling your conscious mind that you are changing it? Problem with anxiety and stress is that the brain in this state knows you want to change it and it resists.
