Anxiety and stress are prevalent in American society and are taking a toll on our health when not well managed. It is correlated with numerous health issues including cardiovascular problems, digestive problems, inflammation, some cancers, and weight gain. While we may, at times, be unable to avoid stressful situations, we can learn skills to help manage it. Through cognitive behavior therapy, people can learn and develop skills to manage the body's exposure to the harmful effects of stress and the thought patterns contributing to maintenance or escalation of stressful feelings..

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.

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!

Excessive anxiety & worry interferes with relationships, sleeping patterns, eating habits, work, school, and all other areas of life, including your health. Medications are helpful, and sometimes lifesaving for those paralyzed by anxiety & panic. However useful psychotropic medications may be at symptom reduction, they fail to address the emotional & psychological causes of anxiety, which more often than not, play a powerful role in the formation and maintenance of anxiety. My approach is to help you to focus internally, so that you can begin to understand, unravel, and heal the source of the anxiety. Whatever the cause, anxiety can be reduced, if not resolved completely, with therapy.

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.

Online Counselor and Coach for Men

Are you a hard-working guy being crushed by stress? Stress, anxiety, burnout, and addiction are all predictable outcomes when stress gets too high. In my experience, men are often misunderstood and under-appreciated... even by their own wives and children. The good news is that you don’t have to slowly suffer and fade off into the sunset. You were created for more than this, and even strong men need support from time to time. You’ve shown your grit through the ups and downs of life. You’ve already been through a lot. But getting professional help shows a different kind of toughness, and if right now you’re buckling under the weight of life, it’s time to take the next step. I’m here to help.

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. Contact Kevin@kevinfleminphd.com for the ultimate stress and anxiety solution that will literally change your brain's autonomic nervous system patterns while you sit on your butt. 877-606-6161.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor / Board Certified Coach

In 33606 - Nearby to Ruskin.

Anxiety appears to possess a life of its own. The fear of experiencing anxiety further begets anxiety, often culminating in panic. What's the appropriate course of action when confronted with anxiety, stress, and panic? It seems that every attempt makes it worse. Anxiety, stress, and panic attacks seem to happen for no apparent reason, accompanied by an urgent need to "do something" to stop them. I work alongside clients to understand the reason. I guide clients to understand their lives, uncover anxiety's roots, and create a safe space while equipping them with valuable coping skills.

Available for Online Therapy

As a high-achieving man, anxiety and stress comes with the territory. And you wouldn’t be where you are today in life unless you’ve handled it pretty well until now. But most successful men find that anxiety eventually impacts them. Whether it’s slowly been eating at you for years, or you’ve just experienced your first panic attack, you’re not going crazy. There are solutions, and this can get better. I help men learn practical stress-management techniques, but I don’t stop there. I also help them identify the root causes of their stress and anxiety, and use research-proven EMDR therapy to systematically target them. The results are measurable, evidenced by deeper calm and clarity of mind.
