How do you work with clients with anxiety?

Anxiety can be very scary and unsettling.  I will work with you to learn different techniques that will help you reframe your thoughts and bring them back to present which will allow you to look at things more calmly, objectively and take back control over the situation. 

My name is Val Warne.  I live in Northern Michigan, am married and have 2 grown daughters.  I love the outdoors, nature and the slower pace of life this area offers. I have been a therapist for over 30 years and have worked in both the public and private sector.  I spent 10 years working with teens transitioning from high school to college, trade school or the work force and 18 years with the VA where I worked with disabled veterans transitioning back to civilian life and employment.  I also worked for several years in a private, out patient, rehabilitation facility that focused on closed head injury. I have had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of populations over the years and have developed a broad and diverse range of skill sets as a result.  I am vested and committed to helping you in your journey to healing.

When I work with anxiety, I see it as your body’s way of trying to keep you safe—even when it overdoes it. Together, we slow things down enough to understand what’s underneath the tension and racing thoughts. I teach tools for calming the nervous system and gently reconnecting with your own sense of steadiness. We’ll explore both the surface triggers and the deeper stories that fuel the worry, so you can respond to stress from a calmer, more centered place. My style is warm, straightforward, and rooted in helping you build trust in yourself again.

As a licensed therapist, I bring over two decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions. My practice centers on helping clients navigate complex emotional landscapes, with specialized expertise in depression, anxiety, grief, and mood disorders. I offer a deeply empathetic approach to addressing personal challenges such as social anxiety, isolation, workplace stress, and life transitions. My therapeutic work focuses on empowering individuals to cultivate self-love, develop resilient coping strategies, and heal from traumatic experiences. My professional background includes extensive work supporting women's mental health, caregivers, and individuals confronting significant life changes—from divorce and midlife transitions to serious health diagnoses. I am committed to creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, build inner strength, and develop meaningful pathways toward personal growth and emotional wellness.

Working with clients who experience symptoms of anxiety involves creating a safe and supportive space where they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors without any judgment. I treat each person as a whole human being—not just a diagnosis. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, build skills, feel more grounded, and see themselves in a new light.

When working with patients experiencing anxiety, I utilize an integrative approach that combines psychodynamic work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques. Psychodynamic work helps uncover and address underlying emotional conflicts and past experiences contributing to anxiety. With CBT, we identify and challenge negative thought patterns and beliefs, replacing them with more realistic and positive ones. DBT adds another layer of healing, focusing on emotional regulation and distress tolerance, helping patients manage intense emotions. Mindfulness techniques teach clients to stay present and grounded, reducing the impact of anxious thoughts and fostering a sense of calm. By blending these methods, I offer a comprehensive and empathetic approach tailored to each client's unique needs, supporting them in managing their anxiety and enhancing their overall well-being.
