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.
Anger counseling can seem intimidating to people who have no experience with it. Often potential clients worry that it won’t help them or that their counselor won’t understand their unique issues.

There is no specific demographic of people who seek out anger counseling. Both men and women have issues. Some have pasts filled without violent, angry outbursts, while others internalize it to a degree that is destroying their lives.
Simply feeling angry doesn’t mean you need anger counseling. Anger is nothing more than an emotion and everyone feels it at some time in their lives. However, someone may need help with their anger if one or more of the following are true:
Anger counseling generally doesn’t try to help clients stop feeling anger. Instead, it treats anger as a symptom of a larger problem. Depending on your situation, your counselor may help you dig deep to understand the underlying causes of your anger.
They may also simply help you identify triggers and find better ways to handle them. For example, a person who is always angry at a specific person at work may discover that the real issue is that they don’t feel respected or heard. Your anger counselor may be able to help you assert yourself in a healthy way that empowers you without requiring you to resort to anger or violence.
The reality is that everyone with anger issues is different. Their path forward is different than anyone else’s.
