Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Lockland, OH.

I have provided stress management counseling and training for a variety of populations for 18 years. I am fully aware of the debilitating effects of anxiety, ranging from feelings of paranoia, phobias, to full-blown panic attacks. I utilize a reality-based, cognitive-behavioral approach with my clients. Together, I work with my clients in helping them achieve a healthier way of thinking about themselves, others and life in general.

Are you nervous a lot of the time? Isn’t it uncomfortable? And it doesn’t help to just be told to ‘calm down’. I am a highly trained clinical psychologist with years of both academic and clinical experience. I truly empathize with your emotional state(s) and can assist in improving your overall quality of life. How might this look? First, when you and I meet, you get support and time to just chat. This in itself can begin to lessen one’s stress. Together we can locate exactly what is making you anxious, and why. And then you and I create ways of decreasing your nervousness, and increasing your comfort level! Life can start to feel better when one’s anxiety is properly attended to.

We'll give you the essential tools to combat anxiety and help you form more positive thinking patterns that lead to calm confidence.

Like the old story of the frog that got cooked when the temperature of the water he was sitting in was gradually raised to boiling, our response to life's stressors may go undetected until we lose some ability to function, e.g. loss of concentration, chronic fatigue, failure to flourish, or a long personal conflict with not having enough confidence --just to name a few. Learning what really needs our attention and regulating our energy output is a way of getting the "best return" for our energy expense. Psychotherapy helps one reflect on self-care, realize unrealistic limits and encourages movement forward.

Anxiety and stress are common experiences that can significantly impact your quality of life, relationships, and overall well-being. Therapy offers a supportive and effective approach to managing and reducing these feelings, helping you regain a sense of control and balance. Through a personalized approach, therapy helps you understand and manage your anxiety, leading to a calmer, more fulfilling life.

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.
