Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Von Ormy, TX.

Part of life seems to have evolved to experience increased stress that oftentimes leads to anxiety. COVID was and still is a difficult situation with our differing health issues and risks. We have learned and found techniques that help reinforce your strengths and help you deal with the anxiety that can be produced. You are not alone in this process, call us for help.

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 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.

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

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. But when anxiety levels escalate to the point of panic or begin adversely impacting your daily functioning, it can leave you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and confused. We specialize in all types of anxiety and can help you feel in control and at peace in your life.

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.

Everyone feels anxiety at some point in their lives but when it starts to interfere with your life, counseling can help. Although anxiety can feel debilitating, it is treatable. People with anxiety don’t always share the same symptoms, they vary from person to person. Therapy will help you to reclaim your life and function in a chronically stressful world.

Life can be stressful and overwhelming at times. Counselors can help you live a happier more fulfilling life by providing tools, support, coping and problem solving skills in a nonjudgmental and caring environment. I would like to assist you in a safe and therapeutic environment. I am licensed by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors. I am trained in numerous therapeutic approaches. In a counseling session we will explore emotional and cognitive barriers, past and present relationships, and collaboratively devise therapy goals.

Anxiety is an important survival skill- but it can get out of hand! If you are thinking worst case scenario all the time or feeling nervous about little or everyday things, let me help. We can get your brain back to thinking in a more positive and realistic way. We should be anxious when something is wrong, but if nothing's wrong, you might need to re-learn how to be calm and relaxed. And if something is wrong, I believe you have the tools to handle it! I understand anxiety and where it comes from and I specialize in helping clients re-train their brain to be more balanced and reasonable. Just one session of talking over your anxieties can help immediately!

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.

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.
