What's your experience with clients with anxiety?
As a therapist in private practice, the bulk of my work has been with clients who struggle with anxiety and depression. The thoughts, experiences, and feelings that come with anxiety and depression are palpable and often times when we are struggling through it alone, it can feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Individual therapy is a great tool to address these challenges. In my work with those struggling with anxiety, panic, and depression my client explore the root of their experience as well as learn and practice new ways to cope and respond to their triggers.
Hi, I'm Kalisha Crone and I’m a licensed clinical social worker who is passionate about supporting communities of color and helping all of my clients improve their overall well-being. My life’s journey paired with my education has afforded me countless learning opportunities that have shaped me into the therapist that I am today. I use techniques such as mindfulness, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral interventions to create a safe space for my clients to process, reflect, learn, grow and eventually go forth on their own. I believe in the power of resilience and I understand that in sharing our stories and receiving the validation that we deserve we can heal the hurt and trauma we have carried for far too long. I care about you, your family, and your story. You can trust that I will treat you with respect, dignity and compassion in every interaction, while maintaining the highest standards for integrity and ethics. Please feel free to contact me for a free consult to see if we are a good fit!

How do you work with clients with anxiety?
When I work with someone struggling with anxiety, I take a compassionate and structured approach tailored to their unique needs. My clients can expect a safe, non-judgmental space where they can express their fears, worries, and emotions openly. The first step is often helping you understand how anxiety works—what triggers it, how it manifests physically and emotionally, and how it can be managed. I use a combination of Mindfulness, Self Compassion and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Through mindfulness, you will become more aware of your thoughts and sensations in a way that helps break the automatic cycle of anxiety. Self-compassion is key because many people with anxiety are incredibly hard on themselves.  These skills are meant to develop a kinder, more supportive inner voice. CBT comes into play by identifying and challenging negative thought patterns that fuel your anxiety, replacing them with healthier, more balanced perspectives. Over time, you'll learn how to better manage anxiety, reduce panic attacks, and feel more in control of your emotions. My goal is to empower you to face life’s challenges with greater resilience and self-understanding.
With over 12 years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals overcome Panic Disorder by utilizing a compassionate and integrative approach. My practice is centered on evidence-based techniques, including Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Experiencing a panic attack can feel overwhelming and terrifying. During an episode, it’s common for individuals to experience intense physical symptoms such as a racing heart, shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, or a feeling of choking. These sensations often lead to a fear of losing control, fainting, or even dying. Emotionally, panic attacks bring on a wave of fear and a sense of impending doom, making it feel like the world is closing in. Many people describe feeling detached from reality, as if they are watching themselves from the outside.  In my practice, I work with clients to break the cycle of panic and anxiety, empowering them with the tools and skills needed to manage overwhelming emotions and regain control of their lives. My approach combines mindfulness and self-compassion to help clients build a deeper understanding of their triggers and reactions, while CBT provides practical strategies to challenge and reframe negative thinking patterns.  My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where clients can feel heard, understood, and equipped to face their challenges with confidence. I offer individualized treatment plans tailored to each client’s unique needs, fostering personal growth and long-term resilience.
