I am passionate about helping young adults as they adjust to new lifestyles with their own struggles in order to live more meaningful lives. I specialize in depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and life transitions using effective strategies.
Chris Furter is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) working under supervision and direction. He is passionate about helping young adults adjust to new or different lifestyles, each with their own struggles, in order to live more meaningful lives. Chris specializes in depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and life transitions using effective strategies.
Chris completed his Master of Arts (MA) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University. Prior to graduate school, he put his Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Economics to work in financial services. Chris utilizes several treatment approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), gestalt, existential, and Rogerian (person-centered) in addition to others. Chris has knowledge and exposure to multiple fields of study and their work-related outcomes, which allows him to understand the difficulties of various industries as well as career transitions after graduation. He enjoys meditating in his spare time and has used that experience to help clients struggling with depression and anxiety.
As a counselor working under direction and supervision, Chris enjoys working with people to help them feel heard and valued. Providing clients with a space where they can be their authentic selves is what he strives to do. While his path to counseling has been unorthodox, Chris realized therapy is his true calling upon finding that the most joy in his previous job came from interacting with clients to improve their lives.

My go-to approach for treating anxiety is helping clients identify how they experience anxiety and learn about how anxiety functions. I also treat anxiety by identifying and focusing on physical symptoms and coping skills, behavioral responses to use for different anxiety triggers, and reframing anxious thoughts. I find these techniques beneficial, as they can be adapted to help recognize anxious symptoms sooner and provide various ways to respond.
To treat anxiety, I teach the following tools:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in anxiety therapy when anxiety becomes less distressing and a client feels more confident managing anxious symptoms. The anxiety will become something clients feel comfortable living with, as they can demonstrate a strong ability to respond to anxiety in a healthy way.
Clients can supplement their time in anxiety therapy by leaning into what makes them anxious and noticing anxious patterns.
To prepare for your first anxiety therapy session, you can think of ways that you experience anxiety, whether they're in your body, through your emotions, or in your thoughts. You can also prepare by thinking about what has been helpful or unhelpful in managing anxiety in the past.
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Duluth, GA can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Duluth therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
