Anxiety Therapy

Let's Get Through This

If anxiety has taken over your life and you feel like you have lost control, anxiety therapy at Comprehensive Counseling Solutions can help. Our practice offers the most effective forms of treatment to help you get the relief from anxiety that you deserve.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, about 18% of U.S. adults experience anxiety with 4% of adults reported to have anxiety disorders classified as severe. When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option because therapy, as opposed to medication, treats more than just the symptoms of the problem.  

Types of Anxiety

There are many types of anxiety and several major types of anxiety disorders. People with anxiety can sometimes become easily overwhelmed by their emotions and try to cope by avoiding situations or experiences that cause them anxiety. Unfortunately, avoidance often backfires and feeds the anxiety. Anxiety therapy teaches how to identify and manage the underlying causes of your worries and fears through healthy, effective coping strategies so you can relax and look at situations in a new, less frightening way.

Common Anxiety symptoms include:

Nervousness, restlessness, or being tense
Feelings of danger, panic, or dread
Rapid breathing or hyperventilation
Increased or heavy sweating
Trembling or muscle twitching
Weakness or lethargy
Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything beyond the thing you are worried about
Insomnia
Obsessions with certain ideas, a sign of OCD
Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or experience from the past, a sign of PTSD

Tapping for Anxiety

Lisa has helped me take charge of my own happiness and situations that happen in my life. I can handle stressors in my life much better than I could just a couple months ago

My daughter says, ‘Thanks Lisa! You helped make my family stronger.’ That says it all in my opinion.

-Mother of Jenna

Lisa has a way of getting to the heart of the matter and helping people take responsibility for their choices and outcomes. I recommend Lisa’s training sessions for any business. Even if you don’t think your particular business would benefit from a “therapist” speaking – it will!

-Heather Howell

Our son was misdiagnosed with ADHD, doing poorly in school and feeling like something was ‘wrong’ with him. Lisa got us on the right path and now our son is happy, successful and feeling good about himself. Thank you for everything.

Lisa we wanted to thank you for all you have done for our family. Your work is truly priceless!! We will never forget how you helped turn our family into the best it could be!

-Wife and Mother

I never believed in therapy but decided to go as a last resort before my wife and I divorced. Lisa saved my marriage! She helped us both work through our resentments and issues. If you’re skeptical or have had bad luck with other therapists, I highly recommend you try Lisa before giving up!

-Dave S

My drinking was out of control and my wife was leaving me. Lisa’s direct approach and focus on my strengths got me headed in the right direction. Now i’m training for a marathon instead of drinking.
