Therapy for Anxiety and Stress Relief

Calm racing thoughts, reduce overwhelm, and rediscover balance with evidence-based support.

I offer in-person anxiety therapy in Brentwood, Tennessee, and virtual sessions for clients throughout the state. If you’ve ever wondered whether therapy could help you feel calmer or more centered, learn more below about how this process works.

Understanding Anxiety & Stress

Anxiety and stress can affect every part of life from your sleep, focus, relationships, and sense of control. While occasional stress is normal, chronic worry or tension can leave you feeling drained and disconnected.

​

Therapy provides a space to understand what’s fueling your anxiety and teaches effective tools to manage it, rather than feeling consumed by it.

Common Symptoms of Anxiety & Stress

Anxiety can look different for everyone, but some common signs include:

​

  • Constant worry or overthinking

  • Feeling restless, tense, or easily startled

  • Difficulty concentrating or relaxing

  • Trouble sleeping or staying asleep

  • Physical symptoms such as muscle tension or racing heart

  • Avoiding certain situations due to fear or overwhelm

​

Recognizing these patterns is the first step toward finding relief and clarity.

How Therapy Can Help

Therapy can help you identify triggers, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and develop tools for regulating both your mind and body.

 

Together, we’ll focus on:

​

  • Understanding the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behavior

  • Developing practical coping and grounding techniques

  • Building confidence and self-awareness

  • Managing panic attacks or chronic stress

  • Learning to respond with mindfulness instead of reactivity

My Approach
to Anxiety Treatment

I integrate several evidence-based approaches to treat anxiety and stress, including:

​

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Helps you recognize and reframe unhelpful thought patterns.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – Encourages mindfulness and value-based action.

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) – Assists in reprocessing past experiences that contribute to ongoing anxiety. (Learn more about EMDR here)

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – Supports deeper emotional awareness and self-compassion.

​

These methods work together to reduce symptoms, build resilience, and help you move through daily life with greater calm and confidence.

The Benefits of Anxiety Therapy

Over time, therapy can help you:

​

  • Feel more grounded and in control

  • Improve focus and sleep quality

  • Strengthen relationships and communication

  • Develop tools to manage stress before it becomes overwhelming

  • Create a greater sense of peace and confidence in daily life
