How do you work with clients with anxiety?

When working with clients that struggle with anxiety, the first objective is to identify the triggers that cause you to become anxious. Once we identify the triggers, we discuss how we can come with. That can range from having a specific time set aside to "worry" to talking about what it would look like if it actually happened and formulating a plan that you are safe and comfortable with.

Hi! My name is Mira Brady, and I have been a counselor for 8 years. Thank you for considering me as your therapist. Choosing a therapist is very personal and I urge you to be judgmental as possible to find the right fit for you. My approach is to work beside you to achieve your personal goals and growth. My personal belief and value is to "Do No Harm" to any of my clients. I will work to make sure your mental health is my first priority. I also believe in autonomy. You have the right to decide what is best for you and your life. I will not pressure you to do or say anything that makes you uncomfortable.

I have worked with many teens and adults to address their symptoms of anxiety. As a safe space for you, I will help you identify and challenge negative thoughts and beliefs, teach you coping skills, and support you through the challenging (but often fun) therapy process.

I have been trained and certified in generalized anxiety disorder. I think it is important for people with anxiety to have a clear understanding of how the brain works and how it affects anxiety. In learning this, people can understand what is happening internally and be able to effectively cope with anxiety to where it no longer disrupts their lives.

I employ a holistic approach to working with clients with anxiety, combining psychotherapy with medication management when necessary. Through psychotherapy, I help clients understand the root causes of their anxiety, develop coping strategies, and challenge negative thought patterns.

In conjunction with psychotherapy, I may recommend medication management to alleviate severe symptoms or when other interventions are not sufficient. I collaborate closely with clients to tailor treatment plans that best suit their individual needs, aiming for long-term relief and improved quality of life.

Anxiety is one of the disorders I am most passionate about! In session, I help clients identify what their anxiety “looks like” (i.e. how does it make them feel, when does it occur”). Together, we develop strategies the client can use outside of session when feeling anxious. Throughout working with a client experiencing anxiety, I am always validating their feelings and providing them a safe and comfortable environment to explore and work through their thoughts and feelings.

My passion is working with teens and young adults navigating life stressors and anxieties around school/college, relationships, friends, or family.

Addressing symptoms of anxiety can include identifying the ways fear has hijacked the imagination to create false narratives, to utilize de-catastrophizing and self-compassion to implement support and gentlenss, and to acknowledge the desire for self-protection and more balanced ways to move towards this
