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.
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.
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.
Five stress management counseling strategies include:
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.
Yes, stress management counseling can help significantly reduce the amount of anxiety that you feel.
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.
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.
Stress, by nature, seems negative. It indicates a level of responsibility that is overwhelming, or impossible to complete or escape. However, stress can be a driving force for creating the life that you really want. If you learn to understand your stress, and change your life in corresponding ways, you can benefit from this negative seeming part of life. Thriveworks Marietta, GA counselors can help you understand your stress, identify the causes, and develop healthy ways of managing it. Reach out today to schedule an appointment.
There are many different ways that individuals deal with stress. Some are healthy, such as exercising, spending time with friends, playing a game, or reading. Some are unhealthy, such as overeating, smoking, and drinking. Many times, stress becomes so overwhelming that your personality becomes affected. You become short tempered, easily angered, and generally unpleasant with even those you love the most. Even the slightest disrespect can cause intense range in an overly stressed person. Someone cutting you off on the highway, or getting in front of someone in line, can cause an overreaction in an overly stressed person.
