Anxiety Counselor
The burdens, challenges, and everyday stressors that we face on a daily basis can create a buildup of anxiety. This anxiety can be scary and you may even feel as if it’s holding you back. Fortunately, talking to an anxiety counselor can help alleviate anxiety symptoms and give you the power to manage your anxiety.
What is anxiety counseling?
Anxiety is a completely normal response to stressful situations. We’ve all experienced anxiety at one time or another. Though sometimes anxiety can begin to take over and hold you back from your full-potential. This anxiety often comes with feelings of fear, worry, and possibly distress. Anxiety can also manifest as a physical reaction, such as heart palpitations, sweating, rapid breathing, and feelings of fatigue.
When your anxiety reaches a point where it begins to interfere with your everyday life, then it might be time to speak to a counseling psychologist.
Anxiety counseling takes a clinical approach to identifying, managing, and calming your anxiety symptoms. As a counseling psychologist, I work with you to identify and manage factors that may be contributing to your anxiety. We’ll also collaborate to find coping mechanisms that work for you.
Is an anxiety counselor the right choice for you?
While it’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed, stressed out, and anxious during times of uncertainty or pressure, there comes a time when help is needed.
We often feel anxiety as a result of a temporary stressor. This temporary stressor might be a heavy workload, a life change, public speaking, or any other situation that brings stress. Though sometimes we experience anxiety when there is no stressor present. If your anxiety continues to linger after the temporary stressor is gone, then you may want to speak with an anxiety counselor about treatment.
Another reason many people seek treatment for anxiety is as a result of an overwhelming stress load. When we have too much on our plate, this can lead to an overwhelming amount of anxiety. If this is the case for you, then you should consider speaking with an anxiety counselor.
Some other signs that you may want to speak to a professional psychologist include:
- You worry on a regular basis.
- You have trouble getting comfortable or sitting still.
- You feel fatigued during the day.
- You often feel restless or uneasy.
- You have a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep.
- You often feel irritable, jumpy or tense.
If any of these apply to you, then it is best to speak with a qualified anxiety counselor to find the treatment option that’s best for you.
Every situation is unique and there is no wrong reason for wanting to speak to an anxiety counselor. If you are ready to reach a breakthrough with your anxiety, anxiety counseling can certainly help you do so.
