Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Bithlo, FL.

As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist for over 18 years, my main area of expertise is treating anxiety disorders, including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, panic and phobias. I understand the crippling effects anxiety can have, ultimately making someone a prisoner inside their own head. Based on research demonstrating its efficacy, I utilize a form of treatment known as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, aimed at challenging irrational thoughts and behavior, ultimately teaching clients to confront their fears and begin to live a life not controlled by anxiety and panic.

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.

Stress is a normal part of everyone's lives, however, when left unmanaged it can become overwhelming. We help our clients to manage stress and reduce anxious symptoms by holding safe therapeutic space for them to work through difficult emotions and experiences in a supportive environment. Anxiety can be caused by many different factors and can be temporary or chronic. Processing traumatic experiences and gaining perspective into what is contributing to your symptoms can shed light on how to lessen the severity and have more good days than bad. We will utilize therapy techniques tailored to your specific needs to assist you in making progress.

For those who suffer from anxiety and stress it can be difficult to get through a day! I work with my clients to organize the challenges that need to be conquered as well as find ways to manage overwhelming emotions in order to not only survive, but to succeed. Learning how to manage stress, practice self care, and find balance will be key. It's important to not only understand but to also actively practice.

Constant worrying and feeling stressed out does not have to be your normal! Anxiety tells us that we need to avoid, avoid, avoid. We think if we avoid the things we fear, then the anxiety will go away but that's actually how we inadvertently make our anxiety worse. Through CBT and ERP, you will learn the tools to face your anxiety and increase your tolerance for the feelings that come along with it. By facing your anxiety, you can make choices that lead to doing the things you love most. In therapy, you'll also learn coping skills and be able to express your worries in a supportive space.

Anxiety and Stress are a part of everyday life. Often, they have a reciprocal relationship with each other. Simply put, anxiety is the discrepancy between where you want to go and where you are. I approach anxiety in a unique way. I treat anxiety as if it is the body's alarm system. In addition to helping alleviate the immediate symptoms of anxiety I will work to help you harness the energy of your anxiety. You can use that energy to help accomplish your goals.

Anxiety and stress therapy with me is indeed a unique experience. Several assessment tools are used including an accountability chart which guides healthy life balance. Other effective forms of treatment include anxiety management, cognitive therapy and exposure therapy. With anxiety management I teach patients skills that will help them cope. Skills taught include relaxation training, breathing retraining, positive thinking, assertiveness training and thought stopping. Cognitive therapy helps clients change irrational beliefs that interfere with psychological functioning and create emotional disturbances. With Exposure therapy I encourage clients to confront stress/anxiety symptom triggers.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based approaches to anxiety. I provide psychoeducation on the neurochemical and brain structure basis for anxiety, and guidance in how to train your brain to reduce anxious thoughts and to help stay in the moment. I use relaxation and breathing techniques and other coping skills to reduce the impact and intensity of the anxiety so that clients can overcome it.

Different levels of fear at various times in our lives are common. Whether the resulting feelings are a mild level of stress/worry or whether these feelings are at a high level, these anxious thoughts and feelings are like weeds threatening to take over the garden of our lives. Anxiety/stress can be all consuming. Dr. Hobbie would like to assist you with the stress that interferes with your daily life. Help is available to gain a perspective and address the discouraging effects of stress that can immobilize. He will help you identify specific 'weeds in your garden' and ways to overcome them. He will help you break free from the bondage of fear and to find the courage to live life in freedom.

We hold our anxiety and stress in our body. We feel tension, gut problems, hot flashes, disrupted sleep and more. I work with anxiety and stress by helping individuals learn and develop tools to re-regulate their nervous system. When we have a coherent and fluid nervous system, we can do difficult things without feeling paralyzed by overwhelming fear.

Anxiety and stress can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone. My approach to treatment is holistic and empowering, blending evidence-based techniques with personalized care to help you regain control and peace of mind. Together, we’ll identify triggers, develop practical strategies for managing stress, and uncover the underlying causes of your anxiety. In our work, you’ll build resilience, improve emotional balance, and learn tools to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and calm.

Anxiety can affect your life in so many ways. Anxiety can keep you from reaching out for that relationship, or attempting for a better job. Anxiety can be healthy, but when you have too much it reduces your life. I really understand anxiety and stress, and can give you the tools and self-esteem to roam freely though this world, being all that you were meant to be. Let's do this!
