Tatrina Bailey-Josephs is a Licensed Professional Counselor, who specializes in helping children, adults, and families find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can know themselves as peaceful, complete, whole, and safe. Tatrina has 14 years of experience in the mental health field, working as a counselor, coach, and administrator in trauma-informed care for individuals experiencing trauma, behavioral, and emotional issues.
Tatrina completed her Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) in Criminal Justice at Walden University and her Master of Arts (MA) in Counseling at Prairie View A&M University. She realizes how important it is to identify all aspects of an individual’s life that impact their wellbeing, including their physical health, support systems (family, friends, etc.), work or school environment, and faith/spirituality. Tatrina is concerned with the impact of loss and trauma and improving interventions to support trauma recovery for better emotional, physical, and relationship health.
Tatrina’s goal as a counselor is to provide a safe environment where you can explore your primary interests, develop goals, and determine strengths and assets as you move toward your aspirations. She believes in working in partnership to utilize your strengths to help you sort out your challenges and achieve your goals. Tatrina knows that no single approach is the right one for every individual, and so she uses a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Gestalt therapy, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, and psychodrama to individuals aged 13 and up. Tatrina’s hope is to help individuals who have the motivation to improve and the courage to seek growth through vulnerability and hard work.

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.
Even though anger isn’t a pleasant emotion, it’s normal to experience. All types of situations can make us angry—sometimes only briefly, like when we’re cut off in heavy traffic. And stronger moments of anger, like if someone discovers their spouse has been part of an extramarital affair, can last longer.
But continually experiencing deeper anger or rage in a way that feels uncontrollable or unresolvable, can become a serious problem for oneself and others. Over time, it can end up affecting an angry individual’s ability to function.
That’s why anger management counseling is helpful and by working with a provider, people with anger management difficulties can better harness their emotions and work toward building (and using) healthier responses to stressful situations. If you believe you could benefit from anger management counseling, consider scheduling a session at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Round Rock today.
Anger management counseling is a therapeutic process in which an anger management counselor and their client focus on identifying the triggers of the client’s anger. Then, once identified, a therapist will teach their client how to handle these emotions in a more positive, productive way.
It’s important to remember that anger management counseling can’t realistically remove all the sources of anger from a client’s life or emotional range. Even though it’s not a warm, fuzzy emotion, anger isn’t always unhealthy and it’s normal. That’s why anger management counseling’s goal isn’t to eliminate anger, but to ensure that it’s better managed.
To better manage and express anger, therapists teach their clients a variety of techniques, including:
These coping techniques used in anger management counseling are supplements to a main approach which often includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and group therapy.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment option for clients seeking assistance in controlling their anger. This is due to CBT’s short-term, goal-oriented approach. CBT is a form of anger management counseling that helps clients to quickly recognize when they’re starting to become angry.
Led by a professional, group therapy sessions help clients to bond with other people who are experiencing similar anger management issues. Group therapy has a unique advantage that helps you to feel less alone during treatment.
Regardless of the therapeutic approach, anger management counseling encourages clients to examine what’s causing their anger and to explore those emotions, including the consequences of losing their temper. After adequate time is spent exploring the triggers, natural reactions, and consequences of uncontrolled anger, an anger management therapist will teach clients how to correct their inappropriate or harmful behavior over time.
Going deeper, anger management therapists can even use anger management counseling as a way to uncover underlying symptoms of grief, depression, trauma, anxiety—any other mental health issues that could be making their anger more intense.
The negative impacts of anger can ruin someone’s career, relationships, mental health, physical health, and much more. It’s important to remember that however your anger is impacting you, the first step toward experiencing healing and freedom begins with reaching out for help to start the process of anger management counseling. Thriveworks offers evening and weekend sessions, provides same-week appointments to new clients, accepts most major insurances, and more.
