Anxiety Therapy: Understanding and Overcoming Anxiety

anxiety counseling houston tx

Anxiety is something many of us experience, whether it’s the kind that pops up before a big presentation, a life change, or even in the quiet moments when everything *should* feel fine.

If you’re reading this, you’re likely feeling the weight of anxiety in some way—and I want you to know, you’re not alone.

Anxiety can show up in many forms. For some, it’s the racing thoughts when trying to fall asleep. For others, it’s the tightness in the chest during a meeting or the overwhelming urge to avoid social situations altogether.

You might notice it when:

- Starting a new job or school and wondering, “Will I fit in?”
- Navigating major life events like a breakup, marriage, or becoming a parent.
- Feeling pressure to perform—whether at work, school, or even hobbies.
- Dealing with uncertainty, like waiting for medical results or coping with financial stress.
- Revisiting past experiences or relationships that left unresolved wounds.

These moments can make your heart race, your hands sweat, or your stomach churn. They can make you feel stuck, frustrated, or even question your own abilities.

Anxiety isn’t just in your head—it’s in your body, your emotions, and how you see the world around you.

The good news is that anxiety is highly treatable.

Together, we can explore what’s causing your anxiety and develop tools to manage it in a way that works for *you*. Maybe it’s learning to challenge the “what if” thoughts that spiral out of control. Or practicing ways to calm your body when it feels like you’re in overdrive. For some, it’s about understanding the root of the anxiety and healing from it. For others, it’s building practical skills to face the challenges life throws your way.

In therapy, there’s no “one size fits all” approach. Whether your anxiety feels like a low hum in the background or a thunderstorm that takes over your day, I’m here to listen without judgment and help you find a path forward.

You’re Not Alone

Anxiety can feel isolating, but you don’t have to face it by yourself. With the right tools and support, it is possible to reduce the intensity of your anxiety and build a life that feels more manageable and fulfilling. Whether you’re seeking help for the first time or you’ve tried other approaches in the past, I’m here to walk with you on this journey.

Let’s take the first step together.

  • Currently, our therapists are meeting in person or through virtual sessions. We use a secure HIPAA platform (Simple Practice) to conduct virtual video sessions which you can access on your computer, tablet, or phone.

  • All major credit cards are accepted for payment.

  • Because it is difficult to fill a cancelled appointment without sufficient notice, appointments cancelled without 24 hours notice and missed (no-show) appointments will be charged the full cost of the session.

  • We are not in-network with any insurance companies, so we do not bill directly. With PPO insurance plans, we are considered out-of-network providers and you may be reimbursed in full or in part, depending on your coverage. We can provide you with a monthly superbill to give to your insurer that is a receipt of services that may meet the criteria for individual mental health diagnosis (a requirement for any insurance compensation). Please check your coverage by asking the following questions:

    Does my plan provide out-of-network reimbursement for mental health?

    Is there a deductible I need to meet before you will start to reimburse me?

    How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

    What percentage of the fee do you cover?

  • You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your health care will cost

    Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have certain types of health care coverage or who are not using certain types of health care coverage an estimate of their bill for health care items and services before those items or services are provided.

    • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any health care items or services upon request or when scheduling such items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

    • If you schedule a health care item or service at least 3 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 1 business day after scheduling. If you schedule a health care item or service at least 10 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after scheduling. You can also ask any health care provider or facility for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you do, make sure the health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after you ask.

    • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more for any provider or facility than your Good Faith Estimate from that provider or facility, you can dispute the bill.
