Starting Stress management therapy

What type of therapy do I need for stress?

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.

How does stress management therapy work?

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.

What is the most effective therapy for stress management?

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.

What are 5 stress management strategies?

Five stress management counseling strategies include:

  • Deep breathing: Practice deep, slow breathing exercises to calm your body’s stress response.
  • Exercise: Regular physical activity can help reduce stress and improve your overall well-being.
  • Mindfulness meditation: Engage in mindfulness or meditation practices to stay present and reduce anxiety.
  • Time management: Organize your tasks and priorities to minimize stress related to time pressures.
  • Social support: Share your feelings and concerns with friends or a therapist for emotional support and problem-solving.

Should you go to therapy for stress?

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.

Does stress management help anxiety?

Yes, stress management counseling can help significantly reduce the amount of anxiety that you feel.

Is stress management therapy conducted in person or online?

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.

How long does stress management therapy last?

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 Management- Dover Thriveworks

Stress is a normal and constant part of our lives. For many people, it is also healthy! Yes, we all have those times when one little thing will send us over the edge, or there’s so much to do you don’t even know where to begin. But for many people, stress is healthy and normal. Without it, we may not work as hard for that promotion, pay attention while driving, or accomplish those big goals.

When stress is too high, too constant, and not accompanied with good coping mechanisms, the positive effects all but disappear, and negative effects swarm to take their place. Dover Thriveworks understands the concept of “balance” is much easier said than done. But it is possible. We are here to help you control your stress, instead of it controlling you. Reach out today for help.

Why Am I So Stressed? Signs of Stress

Our brain and body are hard-wired for danger, even though danger is different than it was hundreds of years ago. Your body can’t always tell the difference between a tiger attack and Tax Day. Too much of this stress and the body and mind begin to break down.

So, is there a way out of this stress-cycle when even our bodies are working against us? Of course! Dover Thriveworks counselors have years of experience addressing stressful problems and practicing coping mechanisms. Unmanaged stress can manifest itself in numerous different ways, unique to every person. Some signs that stress is getting out of control include:

  • Constantly avoiding confrontation (initiating the “flight” response)
  • Angry outbursts or aggressive behavior (initiating the “fight” response)
  • chronic headaches
  • joint pain
  • upset stomach
  • easily-triggered anger
  • irritability
  • panic attacks
  • feeling overwhelmed
  • trouble sleeping and/or nightmares
  • memory loss
  • impulsive behavior

You deserve to be free of these symptoms, and the stress that is causing them. Dover Thriveworks is excited to help you get to that life you’ve always dreamed of.

What Does Stress Management Counseling Look Like?

Healthy coping mechanisms are unique to every person and situation. There is never a situation that is too big or small for a moment of peace and relaxation. We don’t just want you to be less stressed during a counseling session, we want to help you build a new life style. Some tools we may teach and use during a counseling session with Dover Thriveworks include:

  • Learn mindful and relaxation techniques for when you are in a stressful moment
  • Proactively plan stress relivers
  • Talk through any underlying problems that may be causing stress
  • Practice healthy habits like getting enough sleep, exercise, and healthy nutrition
  • Build a strong social support group
  • Learn to identify stress before it gets to be overwhelming and ways to stop it from growing
  • Pick out negative thoughts that may be driving stress, and learn to replace them

I’ve been searching for the right fit. Had almost given up after 2 unsuccessful relationships with other counselors in the last year. Thriveworks makes scheduling easy, takes my insurance (Aetna), and offers quality, invested care. For the first time, I look forward to counseling sessions and feel so much better after! Hend Salah is helping me see things differently and get my life back on track.
