I strongly believe in a person’s ability to be able to overcome difficult situations that may arise in their lives. That ability comes from self-motivation and guidance using a unified approach by problem solving, gaining insight, and implementing strategies to alleviate symptoms. My name is Courtney and I have 15 years of experience. I hold a Master's of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling from UAlbany. Prior to obtaining my Master's degree, I attended UCONN to double major in Psychology and Human Development and Family Studies. I am currently licensed as an LPC in the state of Connecticut. I have experience providing group, individual, and family therapy in the community, inpatient hospital, outpatient facility, group home, and residential settings. I have been able to serve diverse populations and have varied experience with people of differing ages, race, religion, sexual orientation, and diagnoses. I am passionate about working with individuals struggling with parenting and behavioral needs of their children, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, and substance abuse. I typically use CBT, mindfulness, dialectical behavioral therapy, and solution focused techniques to assist in mitigating the struggles people are experiencing. Most importantly I use a collaborative approach as the client is the expert of their lives and my role is to help provide guidance and feedback rather than to dictate and force opinions. I look forward to meeting you and being a help to you in anyway that I can.

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.
If you have anger issues, there is nothing to be ashamed of. We all struggle with something, be it anger issues, stress management, a mental illness, relationship issues, or something else entirely. We all have our own things to work on! And you might find that a counselor or therapist can help you achieve the desired results.
The licensed counselors at Thriveworks Counseling in Fairfield, CT help their clients manage their anger issues. If you struggle with anger issues, our anger experts will help you better understand where your anger stems from and assist you with reacting to enraging circumstances in a healthier manner. This might sound like a difficult task now, but your anger management counselor will guide and support you through this process. Reach out today for help.
Anger management counseling aims to help people understand and work through their anger. It’s as simple as that. For example, your Thriveworks counselor can help you understand your triggers, such as:
It’s okay to feel angry, as a result of the above triggers or other triggers. However, the way that you react and express your emotions is what you need to pay attention to. For example, if you react to maddening circumstances by inciting violence or picking fights with other people, you are not responding to your anger in a healthy way. While you shouldn’t internalize this anger, you should find a way to process your emotions and express them in a better way. We know it’s easier said than done, that’s why Thriveworks Counseling in Fairfield offers anger management counseling.
Anger management counseling will give you a clear direction for better understanding and expressing your anger. Your counselor will be sure to provide you with the safe, comfortable space that you need to open up about your feelings and make progress in therapy. Additionally, they will evaluate your angry tendencies to then provide you with examples of more productive responses to anger.
Anger management counseling can incorporate different therapeutic techniques into your treatment plan, which will work together to help you develop healthier ways for dealing with your anger. These techniques can include:
Anger is a powerful and sometimes scary emotion. It can frighten those who experience it as well as those on the receiving end of the anger.
