Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Coats, NC.

Anxiety and stress are part of being human, but are certainly not always easy to cope with. I help people strengthen their abilities to cope with life's challenges, enabling them to better work through present and future obstacles. Anxiety can result from ongoing situations, chemical imbalances, or past hurts. I use mindfulness based approaches, cognitive behavioral approaches, and strengths based approaches to best address each person's hurdles. I also help people reduce the amount of stress or anxiety they have in their lives through a combination of psychotherapy and coaching.

Counseling for anxiety and stress can be helpful by providing overall stress management skills in addition to determining what specifically is triggering your anxiety and stress. Many times, stress is happening for a specific reason to give you information about what needs to change in your life. Therapy can help explore what may not be going well and give you ideas about how to handle those situations differently. You may be surprised by what is contributing to your stress level.

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.

Anxiety is a common mental health condition involving discomfort, worry, and fear over a perceived threat. Stress can make us more susceptible to anxiety as it reduces our capacity to regulate our thinking, behavior, and emotions when faced with a challenging situation. Common types of anxiety include social anxiety, generalized anxiety, phobias, OCD, and PTSD. At Mindly, we utilize proven effective treatments to help people overcome difficulties anxiety is causing in their lives. Cognitive behavior therapy in particular is an effective treatment for anxiety and can also help develop more effective ways to manage stress.
