Understanding the Nature of Anxiety

Anxiety is a clinical mental health condition characterized by persistent, excessive worry that interferes with daily activities and overall well-being. It often manifests through physical symptoms like tension, restlessness, and a racing heart, alongside cognitive patterns of fear and apprehension. Understanding the specific type of distress you feel is the first step toward reclaiming a sense of peace.

I’m the founder and clinical director of Daybreak Counseling Center. In this video, I discuss our holistic, client-centered approach to treating anxiety in psychotherapy.

The Therapeutic Process for Anxiety Care

Comprehensive Initial Assessment

Before your first visit, your therapist will reach out to you to arrange a consultation over the phone to conduct an initial assessment. This helps establish a connection with your therapist, as well as formulate treatment goals, so your initial session and ongoing therapy are as successful as possible.

Evidence-Based Therapeutic Techniques

Sessions often involve Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or other proven modalities designed to reshape negative thought patterns. You will learn to recognize the early signs of distress and apply practical tools to de-escalate your body’s stress response. These techniques are practiced in a safe environment before being applied to real-world situations.

Practical Coping Skill Development

Patients work on building a toolkit of grounding exercises and mindfulness practices that can be used outside of the office. These skills empower you to navigate stressful social or professional situations with increased confidence and emotional regulation. Over time, these practices become second nature, helping you maintain stability during life’s fluctuations.

A Holistic Client-Centered Approach

We believe every client is unique and has a personal story and set of experiences that bring them to therapy. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we look at you as a whole person, taking into account your history, cultural background, family of origin, and the life experiences that have shaped who you are. We then create a client-centered, personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, ensuring your care reflects who you are and where you are in this stage of your life.

“Patrick saved my marriage. First session in, he was able to connect with my husband — someone who says maybe 10 words a day. I’ve seen therapists since I was 16, and he is hands down one of THE best.”
