How do you work with clients with anxiety?
When working with clients who have anxiety, my approach focuses on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where they feel heard and understood. We start by exploring how anxiety shows up in their life, identifying specific triggers, thoughts, and physical symptoms. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and challenge the thoughts that contribute to their anxiety, gradually replacing them with more constructive patterns. Additionally, we might integrate mindfulness practices to help manage anxiety in the moment, as well as techniques like deep breathing or grounding exercises to reduce physical symptoms. For clients who need it, we can discuss medication options as a supplementary tool for relief. Each person’s experience with anxiety is unique, so I’m collaborative in my approach, adapting strategies based on what feels most effective and empowering for them. Over time, my goal is for clients to feel more in control, less reactive to anxiety, and ultimately more resilient in facing life’s challenges.
With over a two decades of experience in nursing and mental health care combined, I specialize in understanding and meeting the unique needs of each individual. My journey began as a Certified Nursing Assistant, I loved caring for others and pursued the following: Licensed Practical Nurse , Associate of Science in Nursing, followed by a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing and a Master’s in Psychiatric Mental Health from Hunter College. I have worked in various challenging roles, including emergency room case management, utilization review, community nursing ,child and adult psychiatry. I am skilled in listening to my patients, addressing their concerns promptly, and coordinating with a network of resources to ensure they receive the best care possible. My expertise comes from addressing social determinants of health and medical /psychiatric needs to encompass total care. I have personal and professional experience with autism and the multifaceted approach individuals need as they age from behavioral recommendations, medication management, gold standard Applied Behavioral Analysis ( ABA), family needs related to burn out and working with education providers for growth and success.
