How do you work with clients with anxiety?

When working with clients with anxiety, I use a personalized, holistic approach that combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, exposure therapy, and medication management (if needed) to help reduce symptoms, challenge negative thought patterns, and build long-term coping strategies, all while providing ongoing support and fostering a safe, collaborative space.

Hello, I'm Estelle "Stella" A. Webster, a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) based in Rochester, NY. I specialize in providing compassionate care and effective treatment for a range of mental health and substance abuse disorders. With experience in telehealth and in-person settings, I'm here to support you and your family every step of the way. At my practices, Henrietta Psychiatric NP Care and B.E.S.T (out of Long Island), and previously at Villa of Hope Behavioral Health Clinic, I've worked with patients of all ages, starting from 5 years old. I collaborate closely with a variety of healthcare professionals to ensure a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. Education is a vital part of my approach. I strive to make sure you understand your treatment options and the benefits and risks of any medications. My certifications and training include advanced practice nursing from St. John Fisher College, sexual assault nurse examination, and an in-depth understanding of psychiatric assessments and medication management. I believe in a holistic approach, providing supportive therapy and ongoing education to promote overall wellness. Whether through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, or simply being there to listen, my goal is to help you navigate your mental health journey with confidence. Let's work together to achieve a healthier, happier you. *Treatment philosophy My approach is one of collaboration. I do not walk in front of you. I walk with you, through whatever is happening. Within our therapeutic relationship you and I will make medication decisions, together. I practice radical acceptance, and meeting you where you are at, without judgment. Call me, If interested in taking control of your emotional health.

In the past several years, and for several understandable reasons, we've seen reported rates of anxiety and panic at an all-time high. Anxiety is something that everyone experiences to some degree or another, but sometimes, it becomes intense and overwhelming. Whether a client is experiencing mild or debilitating anxiety, I provide them with a safe and validating place to process and understand what they're experiencing, and I give them specific tools to manage and reduce anxiety.

I am a New York City-based licensed clinical social worker who believes that it’s powerful and healing to have a space to be heard and supported while addressing challenges and achieving goals. I work with adults of all ages and walks of life who want to live a happier and more satisfying and productive life. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, trying to understand their career and relationship goals, learning how best to respond to daily stress, anxiety, and challenges, and striving to improve their relationships, mental health, emotions, and self-esteem. Together, we will clarify your goals and develop insight, skills, and self-compassion. I provide my clients with the tools and skills to better understand themselves and feel resilient, grounded, and empowered to make changes. My approach is empathic and exploratory and I draw from a combination of skills- and insight-oriented modalities including CBT, DBT, EMDR, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I received both my undergraduate degree and Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan and spent several years working in the Department of Psychiatry at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell, where I treated individuals struggling with a range of mental health issues. Prior to that, I worked with individuals with chronic and progressive neurological illnesses at NYU Langone Medical Center. You are worthy of having a safe space to be heard, nourished, and supported. I know it can be intimidating and overwhelming to be vulnerable with a stranger, but I have every confidence that this journey will be beneficial and rewarding. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you and discuss how I can come alongside you as a support and a guide.

I do! I have extensive experience working with clients who suffer from everything from generalized anxiety to chronic anxiety, for all genders, ethnicities, and age ranges. Let me help you balance your life, schedule, and take the reins back from your anxiety, so you're the one running your life and mood-not your anxiety.

I have over a decade of experience working as a healthcare professional working the LBGTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, and my specialties include: ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Life transitions, emotional regulation challenges, grief, and trauma. I combine my psychiatric and psychotherapy work together, to treat my clients through an integrative approach that works to treat the entire challenge you’re facing, from a medicinal but also therapeutic way. I believe we're all products of the environment we grew up in, but it is up to us as individuals, to grow and learn about ourselves, so we can become the healthiest, and best versions of who we hope to be. My office is a judgement-free place, where I will help you improve your quality of mental help, and support you on your journey towards a happier, healthier life. I work with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Life transitions, emotional regulation challenges, grief, and trauma.

You have to be willing to LISTEN above all else. Reassure them that anxiety is a valid feeling, and then work alongside them to identify early onset triggers and symptoms, and come up with an action plan to mitigate these symptoms.

When working with clients experiencing anxiety, I provide a safe, supportive environment to challenge the anxiety voice. Together, we can explore the thoughts, emotions, and previous life experiences, and practice tools to help "talk back to" and manage the anxiety. We can explore the role that anxiety may have had to protect you in the past, and practice ways to communicate to the anxiety voice that you don't need its protection anymore.

Welcome! I'm glad you're here. Choosing to start therapy or medication management takes courage, but it is so rewarding! I would be honored to be by your side during your mental health journey. I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner with a private psychotherapy and medication management practice. (In other words, I am both a therapist and a psychiatric medication prescriber.) My areas of specialization include eating disorders, body image concerns, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and life transitions. I practice using several modalities including psychodynamic psychotherapy, adolescent-focused therapy for eating disorders, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and compassion-focused therapy for eating disorders.

I provide a safe and non judgmental environment. Most people say that I make them feel comfortable pretty quickly. I help each person to be curious and explore the root cause(s) and then discuss ways to decrease the anxiety. I also will also discuss and suggest, from the start, tools for you to try.

Julianne is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who also has a master of education in counseling (MSEd). Julianne is licensed in NY and CA, because she has been lucky enough to grow up in NY and live, for many years, in California. Julianne has worked as a counselor/therapist for over 20 years. Julianne works mostly with young adults-adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues and those experiencing life transitions.

The first thing I like to do with my clients presenting with anxiety is to try to understand the nature of their anxiety (e.g., triggers, responses to triggers, and how they cope). Then, I try to learn what does and does not work for them in coping with their anxiety. I like to provide my clients with easy coping tools from the very first session so that they feel empowered and some relief at the end of the first session.
