Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Briarcliff, TX.

Most of us experience anxiety and stress as part of our daily lives. Sometimes that stress is like the water we swim in--we may not notice our stress level until we are feeling overwhelmed and on the raw edge of an angry outburst or the helpless feeling of hopeless collapse. Learning to recognize our stressors, and the inner drives that cause us to react to them rather than respond is one important transformative tool that can bring us forward on the path to changing our relationship and the ways we respond to our ever changing worlds.

Occasional anxiety and stress are normal parts of life but sometimes it can seem like they are running your life instead of you. Counseling can help you understand & navigate your relationship with anxiety, it can provide practical tools for managing the stress and anxiety, as well as heal those parts of yourself determined to remain imprisoned by your own fears.

I provide practical tools to regain control over overwhelming thoughts and emotions. Through cognitive-behavioral techniques and dialectal behavior therapy, clients can learn to identify triggers, challenge negative patterns, and cultivate a sense of calm. I collaborate with clients to develop personalized strategies that empower them to navigate anxiety-inducing situations, ultimately fostering greater resilience and emotional well-being.

Both children and adults can struggle with anxiety and stress at times. Through counseling, I provide a supportive environment to help children and teens to overcome anxiety and approach life challenges in a new way.

I use a multifaceted approach that addresses the root causes of distress while equipping clients with practical coping skills.

I encourage curiosity and foster a supportive and non-judgmental therapeutic environment. Clients feel empowered to explore and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors. Ultimately, this collaborative process enables clients to cultivate resilience, regain a sense of control, and experience greater overall well-being.

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.

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.

Anxiety can make us feel stuck and like we live in a fog. It can even become crippling and consume our lives. The feelings of being overwhelmed and stuck may feel insurmountable.

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.

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.

Anxiety can be a debilitating condition that manifests in any number of behaviors including such things as isolating, and OCD rituals, to name a few. Many people who experience high anxiety have panic attacks which literally create a physical response that often mimics a heart attack. Panic attacks are terrifying and can sometimes occur without a trigger. When that happens, the fear of the panic attack is as intense as the anxiety itself which often causes more frequent and intense panic. The root of anxiety is fear. There are a number of therapeutic modalities that have scientific evidence that supports their effectiveness. I work to discover the cause and then find the right modality.

Anxiety and stress -- ah, how I know you both so well. Let's call them the twins as they tend to accompany so many of us this way on our journey in life. My goal in therapy is to help people have a better understand of what makes the twins (anxiety and stress) act out. What are the triggers in life, in their body, interpersonally that cause them to become unruly? These triggers are trying to teach us something. The question is what. For some, it may be linked to self esteem. For others it may be resources they need to engage to help fulfill their dreams. We then address better coping techniques to help people move past these difficulties and onto their dreams. We also use biofeedback.
