Anxiety will cripple you from living your life. There are concrete skills you can develop that help reduce anxiety and manage it when it tries to take over. You have more power than you think over your own anxiety and I can help you avoid the pitfalls of anxiety that so many people fall into. I've had tremendous success in treating my clients who struggle with this unique but common disorder. You don't have to let it stop you from having the life you want.

I am trained in mindfulness-based stress reduction, and it's a great approach to reducing anxiety. I teach simple strategies that you practice daily. One simple strategy is just before you fall asleep at night, think about your day and choose the best part. This techniques puts you in a positive frame of mind just before you fall asleep. When you practice this daily, over time you will begin to fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and get that good quality sleep while you are asleep.

Anxiety and stress happen when you are faced with a problem in which your tried and true coping mechanisms don't work. Remember, even positive things can lead to stress because it requires you to change and adapt to the situation. I offer counseling tailored to your needs that will help you identify your stressors and learn how to overcome them. You can not avoid stress but you can ensure that you deal with it effectively and quickly.

Are you stressed or anxious? Anxiety is usually partly caused by "what if" questions that you ask but don't answer, instead imagining that the worst will overtake you and you will be left helpless and hopeless. I will help you to look at these questions and really answer them, rather than relying upon your fear-filled imagery to determine how you'll feel. In addition to helping you look at what you can do to cope in the various scenarios you imagine. Depending upon the extent of your problems, we might work to teach you skills to relax and calm your mind, learn to control your breathing, problem-solve, communicate more effectively, set limits, and more.

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.

Everyone experiences anxiety at some point, but for some the anxiety is so frequent or intense that it interferes with their lives or even triggers panic attacks.

A certain amount of Anxiety and Stress are normal in life. But when life gets too big, we sometimes lose the ability to deal with them effectively and need help. There are many ways that counseling can help bring relief (some of it immediately!) in these areas. Some people find relaxation tools are helpful in day to day approaches but we also need to be able to tap into other tools when that is not enough. With an expanded tool kit, we have more options, more tools, to deal with stress and anxiety where we do not have to live in their relentless shadow.

Clients presenting for relief from anxiety and stress may achieve their goals via cognitive-behavioral therapy, or CBT. Lowering anxiety often entails replacing irrational thinking and feeling with better thoughts and beneficial feelings- and consequently, different behaviors become possible that are beneficial for change. Clients can achieve mental discipline and more control over their feelings than they typically believe is possible when they first come in for counseling. Emotional intelligence is a goal that can be achieved by understanding what self differentiation means and how it is a valuable part of the family systems theory approach that I use with clients.

We have all experienced anxiety and stress at certain points in our lives, and some of us much more than others.

As your pastor and counselor, I can help you apply this biblical wisdom to your life and work with you to develop practical ways to manage stress and anxiety. Don't let these emotions control you any longer – let's work together to find peace and calm in the midst of life's challenges.
