ANXIETY THERAPISTS IN-PERSON IN PLANO + ONLINE ACROSS TEXAS
You show up for everyone around you, but it feels like that support isn’t reciprocated.
Recently, you might have noticed yourself feeling irritable and snapping at loved ones more often than you'd like. Or maybe you are withdrawing from friends, or feeling utterly burnt out at work. It seems like you have nothing left to give, and every day you're running on fumes.
But it feels like there’s no other way—like if you don't handle things yourself, they won't be done right, or even at all. This leads to taking on all the tasks, feeling overworked, and becoming resentful of the people around you. It's a heavy burden to carry, always having to be the one to keep everything together. This constant responsibility can make you feel as if no one truly understands or cares enough to help lighten the load, and asking for support makes you fear you’ll be a burden to someone else.
Maybe it feels like you…
Are on the verge of snapping after burning the candle at both ends for too long
Bend over backward for others but still never feel good enough
Have achieved your goals but you're still searching for ways to prove your worth
Don’t have any time for yourself, have to do things to “earn” rest, or can only rest once your body literally shuts down
Have to hide your true self or the people around you might judge or leave you
Together, we’ll shift the stories you’ve been told about yourself & unlearn what isn’t serving you.

OUR APPROACH
Helping you untangle yourself from the mess of stress.
When you and your therapist begin this work, you'll take a close look at what you’ve been struggling with recently. Together, you'll figure out when things started to go off track and explore the efforts you've already made to fix the situation. Then, you'll reflect on times when you felt less stressed and more at ease—moments when you experienced genuine joy and confidence. By identifying what has worked for you in the past—and what hasn't—you can understand which coping strategies you've outgrown and find new, healthier ways to move forward.
You'll also dive into the importance of foundational healthy habits like good sleep, proper hydration, balanced nutrition, regular exercise, sunshine, and social connections. Together, you'll assess where things might be out of balance and work on establishing a routine that prioritizes your well-being. It's essential to fill your cup with nourishing habits rather than running on empty or, worse, with unhealthy sludge. Through this journey, you'll also explore the beliefs and values around rest and productivity that might be leading you to feel stuck, burnt out, and like you always have to put yourself last.
Prioritizing self-care is crucial, and you and your therapist will talk about what that looks like for you—
Whether it's something you feel allowed to do and why or why not. Then, you’ll work together to shift those stories and unlearn restrictive rules (both spoken and unspoken) that are no longer in alignment with your beliefs or values, or the life you want to create and live for yourself. Your therapist will teach you tangible skills to stay grounded and present, especially when anxiety hits. You'll reconnect with your inner child through fun, creativity, and curiosity. Plus, you'll work on connecting your mind, body, and gut through emotional expression and somatic practices—which will help you learn to listen to and honor your true needs and desires.

Common questions about therapy for anxiety & stress
-
Anxiety can be experienced differently from person to person. Some describe it as a heavy weight on their chest, making it hard to breathe or think clearly. For others, it’s the mind always racing with worries and what-ifs, leaving them feeling on edge and exhausted. If you think you may be experiencing anxiety, therapy is a great way to unpack what’s going on and learn ways to minimize the physical symptoms and navigate how to soothe the racing, catastrophizing thoughts so you can find calm in the chaos.
-
Anxiety often comes from a mix of past experiences, stress, and sometimes, just the way our brains are wired. It's a way our body tries to keep us safe, even if it doesn't always get it right. In therapy, we use a combination of reframing thoughts and making the body feel safe in the present to create more balance and manage anxiety.
-
Stress can take a toll on both your mind and body, making you feel irritable, overwhelmed, and tired. It can lead to headaches, trouble sleeping, and even weaken the immune system. Identifying the underlying causes of stress and working through them can help alleviate the mental and physical symptoms associated with it.
-
Our clinicians use a variety of therapy methods to help their clients learn to live with their anxiety. Some of these include EMDR, Brainspotting, mindfulness, somatic practices, IFS-informed techniques, and more. Together, you and your therapist will determine which approach might work best after learning about your story and discussing what’s going on with you.
