Anxiety Therapists in California

Anxiety is about future fears. Your thoughts start the process that make you feel, then behave with panic. We will help you look at your thoughts which cause your discomfort. We offer simple skills that will diminish this discomfort for a more relaxed feeling in any situation. 

We have Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists who cater to the busy professional, couple and family by offering evening and weekend Telehealth appointments. We also have a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with anxiety, depression, trauma, panic and creatives. We are located in beautiful Downtown Long Beach, CA; Inland Empire, CA and West Hills, CA.

When working with clients experiencing stress or anxiety, my approach is centered around creating a safe, supportive space where they can feel understood and empowered to manage their symptoms. Stress and anxiety can feel overwhelming, whether it’s tied to specific life circumstances, ongoing worries, or deeper-rooted concerns. My goal is to help clients break free from these patterns and regain a sense of calm, clarity, and control over their lives. Together, we can explore both the surface-level stressors and the deeper emotional or cognitive patterns that may be contributing to your anxiety. I also focus on practical strategies to manage their day-to-day symptoms. This may involve mindfulness exercises, grounding techniques, and learning to reframe anxious thoughts to prevent them from spiraling into panic or excessive worry. I also help clients build healthier coping mechanisms and establish boundaries that can reduce stress, while promoting greater balance in their personal and professional lives so that they can navigate the world with a sense of calm, power, and confidence.

I believe that therapy is a space where you can be yourself, and I would love to be a part of helping you to explore your life in a meaningful way. Coming from a creative background, I decided to become a therapist to engage more deeply with the human experience, both intellectually and emotionally.  My work is centered around helping people grow into the fullest version of themselves—one that feels more authentic, more alive, more aware, and more at peace. Above all, I believe that real healing comes from the unique relationship we build together. Therapy works when you feel deeply seen, heard, and cared for, and that is what I strive to provide in every session. Together, we will work to explore your past, understand how it shapes your present and current relationships, and create a path toward a more meaningful and fulfilling now and future. My approach is rooted in empathy, curiosity, and respect, and I welcome clients from all walks of life. I also am LGBTQIA+ affirmative, culturally-sensitive, and sex-positive, so please bring yourself however you are.

Anxiety is one of the most common diagnoses. I have worked with many patients with anxiety or panic. I have also worked with incarcerated individuals with the same diagnosis. Regardless to the situation, there are ways to help manage the symptoms and see change. 

My name is Dr. Bryant and I am so excited to meet ya! I treat people virtually in the state of California. I also offer both in person and virtual services in the state of Tennessee. I created As You Are Therapy because therapy can be terrifying! I developed my practice with that in mind- so I could be different. As You Are was created with autonomy in mind. Come sit on my couch (IRL or Virtually) and be as authentically you as you want (literally without judgement). I want you to walk in, feel welcomed, and leave feeling your best. My therapeutic approach matches your vibe and we will build a relationship where comfort and acceptance are priority. Healing is a progression and I cannot wait to see you, as you are!  

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears by looking at situations in a new, less frightening way. With CBT, you're able to adjust the thoughts that directly influence your emotions and behavior. This adjustment process is referred to as cognitive reconstructing, which happens through different CBT techniques. Most people with clearly defined behavioral and emotional concerns tend to reap the benefits of CBT. In addition, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy has proven highly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. During an EMDR session, you will be guided through a series of eye movements or other types of bilateral stimulation while focusing on a specific traumatic memory or anxiety-provoking situation. This helps to reprocess the negative emotions and beliefs associated with the memory or situation, leading to a reduction in anxiety symptoms.

Many people look for something beyond the question, “How does that make you feel?” I hope my sessions can not only act as a sounding board, but also provide a safe space to unload, explore and develop solutions to life’s problems. While my approach to therapy is empathic and compassionate, it is also direct and directive. My goal is to help clients identify the root of potential issues and work collaboratively to construct a solution. My intention is to provide support, problem-solving skills, practical tools and coping strategies to help overcome negative patterns.

I provide a safe and non judgmental environment. Most people say that I make them feel comfortable pretty quickly. I help each person to be curious and explore the root cause(s) and then discuss ways to decrease the anxiety. I also will also discuss and suggest, from the start, tools for you to try.

I often start with collaboratively investigating your particular anxiety experience to understand it's physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual affect on you, as well as its causes. I use a combination of Internal Family Systems, relevant neuroscience psychoeducation and family systems processes to help you find a pathway to less anxiety and a more balance and calm.

My name is Chris White and I have been practicing for 15 years. I work with motivated adults, couples that are stuck but not experiencing intense conflict, and mature and motivated teenagers with families that are willing to consider family therapy if recommended. An area of focus is folks interested in using Internal Family Systems to increase their ability to choose, harmonize their inner world, and increase their access to attributes such as compassion, curiosity and clarity.

Anxiety is often seen in a negative light, however exploring more regulation and challenging unhelpful thoughts is the key. Regulating anxiety and stress in a way that is not a fracture but to find the benefit. We will introduce through psychoeducation when there is underlying anxiety and how to regulate it. It does not have to be debilitating, but managed. Working somatically and mind process will help moving anxiety along in a healthier way.

When it comes to anxiety, I understand how overwhelming and isolating it can feel. My approach to working with anxiety is rooted in compassion, patience, and a deep understanding of how anxiety impacts not just the mind but also the body and spirit. Together, we’ll explore the roots of your anxiety—whether it’s triggered by specific events, past experiences, or patterns in your thoughts and behaviors. We’ll work to understand the unique ways your body responds to stress and how you can learn to navigate these responses with more ease and self-compassion. Here’s how we can approach anxiety together: Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques: We’ll use mindfulness practices, breathwork, and grounding exercises to help you stay present and calm when anxiety arises. These tools help create a sense of control and safety in moments of overwhelm. Cognitive and Emotional Exploration: We’ll gently explore your thought patterns and how they fuel anxiety. By identifying negative or unhelpful beliefs, we can reframe and shift the way you perceive situations, helping reduce stress and worry. Somatic Awareness: Anxiety often lives in the body. We may explore how physical tension, breath patterns, or nervous system responses are tied to your anxiety, and work together to help your body feel more relaxed and balanced. Building Coping Strategies: You’ll gain practical tools for managing anxiety in everyday situations—whether it’s dealing with work stress, social anxiety, or fear of the future. We’ll also focus on building resilience so you can face life’s challenges with more confidence. Holistic Support: Depending on your needs, I may integrate other holistic practices (like energy work, meditation, or nature-based healing) to address the mind-body connection and help you find a deeper sense of peace. Healing anxiety is not about eliminating all stress, but about finding balance and learning to navigate life with greater ease and presence. My goal is to help you reconnect with your inner calm, regain control over your thoughts, and trust in your ability to handle what comes your way. You don’t have to face anxiety alone—I’m here to support you through every step of the journey.
