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.

Therapy helps individuals identify and understand the triggers that lead to drug use or negative behaviors. By dissecting these patterns, therapy enables individuals to manage their responses to triggers more effectively. Therapy also equips individuals with practical strategies for managing stress, cravings, and other challenges associated with recovery. Skills such as mindfulness, stress management, and problem-solving are central to many therapeutic approaches, helping individuals navigate difficult situations without resorting to drugs or past behaviors.

Anxiety comes from fear. God tells us He "has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." We can access that power by making a conscious decision every day to surrender our anxiety to him. Trust God to take care of you, but also to guide you to others, including friends, clergy, and treatment professionals, who can help you walk this difficult path.

I approach counseling for anxiety and stress from a Cognitive Behavioral perspective. I think it is vital to examine the interplay among your environment, your relationships, your daily routine, your emotions, and your thoughts when it comes to treating anxiety and stress. Treatment often involves making internal or external changes to these aspects of your life. The hope is that changes to one part of your life will produce changes in the other areas.

Anxiety is a normal part of life. Sometimes, however, anxiety or stress can become overwhelming and take control of your life. Anxiety can affect your thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and even physical sensations. We utilize a cognitive-behavioral approach to help you manage anxiety symptoms, change unproductive thought patterns, identify triggers, express your deeper feelings and needs, and feel more calm and relaxed.

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.

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.
