Stress, PTSD and Anxiety Therapists in Liberty Hill, TX.

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.

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.

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 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.

Therapist will work with client to explore and identify the root issues that are fueling issues related to stress and anxiety. Therapist and client will create a new and healthy daily routine that promotes balance and emphasizes joy. This new routine will consist of self care practices, engagement with hobbies, social interaction, and incorporating a rage of coping mechanisms.

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.

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.

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. Therapy can help children and teens to express emotions, develop positive coping skills, maintain healthy balance, and decrease anxious thoughts.

Do your thoughts and worries consume you? Do you ever feel like you can't get control of what's going on? Ever have a hard time shutting your brain off? I work with clients to identify sources of stress and anxiety. Believe it or not, not all stress and anxiety is bad, and it likely won't ever go away completely, but I help client learn how to manage their stress and anxiety so that it can still be beneficial without taking over their lives.

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.

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.

In working with stress and anxiety you can learn skills to help you recognize and manage your emotions. This will allow you to learn to respond rather than react to your stressors. Recognizing how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are related can allow you to examine and challenge your thoughts and behaviors to change the way you are seeing your stressors to a more adaptive view and realistic view.

Anxiety and Stress can at times overwhelm us. Continued unhealthy stress causes us to not perform at our best and may put us in a negative light towards others. We listen warmly and allow you time and space to process through your difficulties. We also offer you explanations and bring awareness to possible cognitive distortions. Combined with calming exercises and techniques provides invaluable mental health experience and minimizes stress and unhealthy anxiety.

Every day is three times more exhausting when you're stressed out. But in therapy, you can develop strength and self-confidence for coping with whatever life throws at you. From practical social skills, to learning how to relax, to standing up for your values, you'll find a way. And I'll be with you each step of the way. Reach out and start living life on your terms.
