Yes, there are therapists who help with anger via Anger management therapy. It’s a therapeutic process that an individual goes through to manage their anger and identify its triggers. They’re given clear instructions on how to improve their angry behavior as well as a safe space for opening up about their emotions.
Once an individual’s triggers are identified, anger management therapy focuses on helping the individual process and respond to these emotions in a more positive and productive manner. The anger management therapist will provide coping strategies and ultimately help their client take back control of their anger.
The five keys to mastering anger include identifying triggers, pausing before reacting, calmly expressing emotions, discovering constructive outlets for frustration, and seeking professional assistance if necessary. Acquiring these skills through Anger management therapy empowers individuals to effectively manage and navigate their anger.
The best therapy for anger management often involves cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps individuals identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior related to anger.
Anger management therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Often, Anger management therapy lasts between 4-6 weeks. However, it can last longer, dependent on the individual’s needs.
Experiencing frequent or intense anger can disrupt your life and relationships, but effective anger management can help you regain control and lead a healthier, calmer life. At Thriveworks West Lake Hills, we offer compassionate counseling to support you in managing your anger and improving your overall well-being.

Anger is a normal emotion, but when it becomes excessive or uncontrolled, it can be distressing and harmful. It often leads to feelings of regret and can manifest physically, affecting both your body and mind.
Therapy plays a crucial role in anger management by helping individuals identify triggers, address underlying issues, and learn healthier coping mechanisms. Various therapy approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based techniques, can be effective in helping you manage your anger.
Anger becomes problematic when it interferes with your daily life, relationships, or physical health. If anger leads to self-harm urges or significantly impacts your overall well-being, seeking counseling is essential.
Anger management therapy typically involves exploring the root causes of your anger, learning to recognize and regulate your emotions, and developing effective communication skills. Our experienced therapists at Thriveworks are dedicated to helping you understand and manage your anger effectively.
In addition to therapy, there are immediate strategies you can use to manage your anger, such as practicing meditation, journaling, exercising regularly, and seeking spiritual support. These techniques can help you cope with anger at the moment and prevent future outbursts.
