How do you work with clients with anxiety?
I see anxiety as 4 components. Many measure and describe anxiety as an emotion. I concur with that understanding, and I would add anxiety as also being the body, our thoughts, and actions associated with that feeling. Working with my clients mean working with all 4 parts. I explore how these parts show up in my clients' lives, then collaboratively create a treatment plan with my clients that is aligned with managing anxiety in a much better way to where anxiety no longer disrupts their lives.
Hi! My name is Adrian Gaither. I am a licensed professional counselor in Georgia, working with clients who are seeking to make healthy changes in their lives. I specialize in couples therapy, trained in Gottman Level 1. I am trained in Mindfulness Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help my clients manage depression and anxiety long-term, and I am trained in Trauma-Focused Therapy to help those experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder. Therapy is meant to be more than a visit; therapy is a transformational experience. My approach is to first understand the problem my clients bring into therapy, before I begin providing heavily researched treatment; treatment that is known to be successful in managing specific problem areas long-term. I listen to all of my clients and see them as a whole person - a human being. My approach is to see them. My clients can expect to have a new understanding of themselves and how to approach the problems they bring to therapy.
