Starting Stress management therapy in Woodstock

What type of therapy do I need for stress?

Thriveworks offers Stress management therapy, a type of therapy that helps people learn how to effectively manage and release their stress through the use of relaxation techniques, time-management practices, and mindfulness, among others. Relieving stress can greatly improve an individual’s mental health, as stress can detrimentally affect one’s emotional and physical well-being.

How does stress management therapy work?

Stress management therapy functions by identifying the source(s) of stress and the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that are tied to it, then addressing them and creating healthy strategies for dealing with stress on a long-term basis. Additionally, Stress management therapy also helps people discover what warning signs they have that can let them know that they are stressed so that they can be more proactive in managing it.

What is the most effective therapy for stress management?

The effectiveness of stress management therapy can vary from person to person, but some widely used and effective approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and relaxation techniques.

What are 5 stress management strategies?

Five stress management counseling strategies include:

  • Deep breathing: Practice deep, slow breathing exercises to calm your body’s stress response.
  • Exercise: Regular physical activity can help reduce stress and improve your overall well-being.
  • Mindfulness meditation: Engage in mindfulness or meditation practices to stay present and reduce anxiety.
  • Time management: Organize your tasks and priorities to minimize stress related to time pressures.
  • Social support: Share your feelings and concerns with friends or a therapist for emotional support and problem-solving.

Should you go to therapy for stress?

Whether to seek therapy for stress depends on the severity and impact of the stress on your life. If stress is significantly affecting your well-being, relationships, or daily functioning, therapy can be a helpful option to learn coping strategies and gain support. It’s important to assess your own needs and consult a mental health professional for guidance on whether therapy is appropriate for your situation.

Does stress management help anxiety?

Yes, stress management counseling can help significantly reduce the amount of anxiety that you feel.

Is stress management therapy conducted in person or online?

Stress management treatment at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does stress management therapy last?

For those with low amounts of anxiety and stress and simple goals, stress management therapy can be fewer than 12 sessions. However, for those with intense anxiety and more severe symptoms, therapy will likely last longer in order to effectively treat their stress and mitigate their symptoms.

Need more help deciding?

Stress is that internal urging to work harder and faster. It gets us up earlier, pushes us harder, and helps us achieve goals.

That is, healthy stress lets us do those things. Uncontrolled stress can do the opposite. It can break down the body and mind, resulting in sleepless nights, an unhappy life, and even mental illness.

We all know that feeling where one more thing will cause a breakdown. But what if that feeling was so constant, you’ve just gotten used to it? Stress is so prominent in today’s society that it can take a big wakeup call to realize how stressed you’ve been. Perhaps it’s your unhealthy coping mechanisms that you’ve had enough of, or a loved one pointing out your health. Whatever your reason for deciding to be less stressed, Thriveworks Woodstock Stress Management counseling is here to help you stay in the sweet spot of pushing yourself to be better, but not being as stressed.

What Are Symptoms of Unmanaged Stress?

Your brain is truly remarkable. It also hasn’t caught up with present times. When you’re walking down a crowded grocery aisle, your brain thinks you’re in immediate danger of not finding enough food. The annoying coworker is life-threatening competition to a brain that is still hard-wired for danger, even when no actual danger exists.

To us though, it still feels like stress, and the destructive side effects of it still hurt. Thriveworks Woodstock counselors understand that sometime brains work in weird ways. That doesn’t make your financial situation, relationships, or life changes any less stressful!

When stress really gets out of control, it can feel like everything is coming at you at once and holding you back from coping healthily. Thriveworks Woodstock Stress Management counselors is here to help you find a way out. We have walked alongside countless others to search for the roots of stress and find the best, healthy coping mechanisms for them.

The first step in healing is recognizing there’s a problem. Stress may be unmanaged in your life if some of these symptoms are present:

  • Constantly avoiding confrontation (initiating the “flight” response)
  • Angry outbursts or aggressive behavior (initiating the “fight” response)
  • chronic headaches
  • joint pain
  • upset stomach
  • easily triggered anger
  • irritability
  • panic attacks
  • feeling overwhelmed
  • trouble sleeping and/or nightmares
  • memory loss
  • impulsive behavior

Stress isn’t in control of you. With the right support, you can have peace and happiness again.

What Does Stress Management Counseling Look Like?

Healthy stress management is a life-long journey. As you change, so will how you handle stress. But what you gain from a Thriveworks Stress Management Woodstock session can be used for the rest of your life. Even when we aren’t there to cheer you on, you will have the knowledge and strength to handle whatever stress throws at you!

One of the key components of stress management is learning how to shift your thoughts and actions, not your circumstances. Changing your circumstances is absolutely something that may have to be done, but when it is your only coping mechanisms, it can be dangerous. Stress will always find you, so you have to learn how to beat it where you’re at.

A few examples of how we can do this include:

  • Learn how to handle a stressful moment through mindful and relaxation techniques
  • Proactively plan stress relivers throughout your week
  • Work through underlying problems that are aggravating your stress levels
  • Practice healthy habits like getting enough sleep, exercise, and healthy nutrition
  • Build a strong social support group
  • Practice identifying stress before it gets too overwhelming
  • Learn techniques to stop stress from growing
  • Learn to replace the negative thoughts that may be driving stress

There are as many ways to combat stress as there are to feel stress- a lot! Thriveworks Woodstock chooses to focus on your uniqueness as an individual, and to explore what you bring to the Stress Management Counseling session. You have what it takes to beat your stress and regain control of your life.

My 16 yr old daughter had been struggling with mood swings and depression/anxiety for a few years. We tried talk therapy first with a therapist but as she got older, the issues persisted. I contacted Thriveworks to seek out further help and everyone I engaged with was very helpful, very clear about the billing process and the psychiatry care schedule. We have had three sessions now with provider Melissa Gray and the care has been awesome. My daughter's mental health has been great and she is coping with things much better. It had been challenging to find the psychiatric care my daughter needed with other facilities either not taking new patients or being limited in the care provided. Thriveworks answered my call immediately and were able to get our first telemed appt within a few days. I strongly recommend Thriveworks!

I am so thankful to have found counsel with Ms. Porter. She has given me great coping strategies and is diligent in helping me walk through challenges and finding viable solutions. I started counseling in September and believe that I would not be able to navigate through the recent challenges had it not been for extensive counseling with Ms. Porter.
