Starting Anger management therapy

Can you get a therapist for anger issues?

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.

How does anger management therapy work?

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.

What are the 5 keys to controlling 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.

What is the best therapy for anger management?

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.

Is anger management therapy conducted in person or online?

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.

How many sessions do I need for anger management?

Often, Anger management therapy lasts between 4-6 weeks. However, it can last longer, dependent on the individual’s needs.

Anger Counseling can Help You Find Healthy Ways to Deal with Anger – Therapists in Charlotte

When people try to handle their anger problems on their own, they often believe that the solution is to find ways not to feel anger. While this may seem like a good goal the reality is that anger typically can’t be avoided altogether: it’s an emotion that everyone feels.

So if you can’t avoid anger there’s no hope, right? Wrong. The reality is that your top goal should be to find ways to deal with anger in healthy ways. That’s where anger counseling comes in. At Thriveworks Counseling & Coaching we can provide assistance for you to work through these issues and put an end to the consequences of your anger. Reach out today for help.

How Can Anger Counseling Help?

The blame shouldn’t be placed on the anger itself but on the behaviors that follow it. Whether it’s mild irritation or extreme rage, there are always options. You don’t have to respond aggressively or violently. You don’t have to feel out of control.

An anger counselor can start by assessing your anger. He or she will look at factors like the triggers for your anger, the frequency with which you feel anger, and the levels of your anger. They can then find the path forward that will deal with your specific causes of anger.

Benefits of Anger Counseling

Imagine if you could respond to situations that frustrate you without getting out of control. Imagine if you could remain relaxed, peaceful, and calm as you express why something is frustrating to you. In anger counseling you’ll get a personalized approach but it will likely involve work to help you recognize your triggers.

When you know what your triggers are you can take different actions before the situation gets out of hand. You can be assertive and express your needs and you can use the specific skills you learn in anger counseling to manage these triggers.

You don’t have to feel out of control. You don’t have to worry your friends and family. Thriveworks Charlotte Counseling & Coaching is here to help.

I have been seeing Terryn Maher for a couple of months now and she is awesome!! Very knowledgeable, attentive, thorough, thoughtful, caring, etc. I could go on for awhile. I’ve been in counseling with another therapist for about 14 years but I already feel like I’m getting so much more from working with Terryn. Thriveworks on a whole has been great to work with as well. They are easy to work with and schedule appointments with. I was nervous about working with a company over directly with just the therapist but it has actually worked out well. I highly recommend them!

I've worked with Mrs. Matson for close to a year now and I can say with certainty that she's a great counselor to go to for help with emotional regulation and understanding, grief management, and processing trauma in healthy and beneficial ways. Her use of meditation techniques to get to the root of my emotions and habits have helped me understand so much about myself and why I operate the way I do. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone just starting out looking for a good counselor, or anyone looking for a friendly empathetic professional who listens well and draws from a wealth of information to provide really quality services.

I have seen Dr. Daniel Stillwell for a year for individual and couples counseling and I trust him immensely. He is a skilled, authentic, and highly competent professional. I’ve also referred him to others and they described the same. Thriveworks staff have been very helpful with insurance and appointments.

Adriana Blanco is wonderful. I never felt any judgement from her during our sessions. She is compassionate, firm and extremely knowledgeable. I could not see myself opening up as much with another counselor, thank you for putting her in my path.
