Anxiety & Stress
Support when worry, tension, or pressure takes up more room than you want.
Understanding what brings you in
Stress can affect both mind and body.
You may be managing constant mental activity, a body that feels braced, or pressure to keep everything under control. Even when life looks manageable from the outside, the effort can feel exhausting.
Counseling can help you understand what keeps stress active, notice how anxiety shows up, and explore more supportive responses.
Experiences and concerns
Some experiences that may bring people to counseling include
- Persistent worry or overthinking
- Feeling restless, tense, irritable, or unable to settle
- Difficulty sleeping or switching off
- Perfectionism, self-criticism, or fear of making mistakes
- Avoidance or indecision when something feels overwhelming
- Physical cues such as tightness, shallow breathing, or a racing heart
How counseling may help
More than telling yourself to relax
Lisa may help you notice connections among thoughts, emotions, expectations, actions, and physical responses. Counseling can include practical ways to respond to stress while exploring the patterns beneath it.
Mindfulness and body awareness may be useful and are adapted to the individual. Therapy may also explore how earlier experiences or relationship patterns connect with anxiety today.
