How do you work with clients with anxiety?
Working with clients experiencing anxiety, I employ a variety of therapeutic techniques tailored to their unique needs. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices, I assist clients in identifying triggers, understanding the root causes of their anxiety, and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms. Through relaxation techniques, cognitive restructuring, and exposure therapy, I empower clients to confront their fears and regain a sense of control over their lives. My approach emphasizes building resilience and fostering self-compassion as clients navigate their anxiety journey.
Welcome! I'm a passionate healthcare professional dedicated to providing compassionate and effective telehealth therapy. With a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness, I offer supportive counseling services for adults and older adolescents. My experience in counseling and case management has equipped me with the skills to provide impactful mental health therapy, ensuring my clients receive the care and support they deserve. I see clients almost exclusively during morning hours, up until noon (CST) and can easily accommodate people with non-traditional schedules, since I have appointments as early (or late!) as 1am CST. Just like a good workout, a therapy session first thing in the morning can help you start your day off right. In addition to counseling, I've been instrumental in developing innovative strategies for Medicaid Special Needs programs, emphasizing quality assurance and improvement in Illinois. My cross-functional leadership has enabled me to work collaboratively with community partners, optimizing program outcomes and enhancing quality of care. I hold certifications as a Case Manager (CCM) and Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), which reflect my commitment to providing holistic care. I'm dedicated to meeting my clients where they are at, and helping them to achieve their mental health goals, without judgement. My goal is to help you navigate your health journey with expertise, empathy, and unwavering support. Let's work together towards your well-being.
