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 and Coping – Online Counselors and Therapists in Greenville, SC

Everyone experiences stress – it’s normal; and while we often have the coping stills to manage that stress, we also find that we may not have the coping skills we need to manage certain stressors.  Maybe this feels like your situation.  If so, you’re not alone.  Many people are struggling with new challenges, thoughts, and fears – but you don’t have to go through this alone.  Thriveworks Greenville online counselors can help! (864) 952-4048

What Is Stress?

Stress occurs when we are faced with persistent challenges, particularly ones where the choices are difficult – possibly not even ours to make.  Stress keeps us alert, hyper-focused on a thought, task, or outcome.  When experiencing stressful situations, our senses are heightened, creating the “fight or flight” response.  Some stress is fine. It can wake us up and make us more aware. Too much stress can create serious emotional and physiological issues. If left untreated, stress can lead to:

  • headaches
  • increased blood pressure
  • anxiety
  • chest pain
  • gastrointestinal issues
  • sleep issues
  • depression

What Are Coping Skills?

Coping skills, sometimes referred to as “coping mechanisms,” are tools that people use when faced with challenges that create stress in their lives.  These tools aren’t limited to dealing with stress either.  Coping skills are commonly used for managing depression, phobias, trauma, or any type of painful emotion, feeling, or memory.  Coping skills are simply strategies for processing your feelings.  They provide the opportunity to differentiate between irrational and rational beliefs, giving you the ability to make appropriate adjustments to your thoughts and behaviors.  Simply put – coping skills are problem-solving tools to help you successfully manage stressful situations.

Coping with Stress

It’s important to take care of yourself – mind, body, and spirit.  During periods of increased stress, people who take care of themselves find that they’re better prepared to face new challenges and overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. This is where Thriveworks Greenville Online Counseling can help.

I have been seeing a therapist via Thriveworks every other week for several months and I couldn't be happier. The intake form was easy to fill out and somehow managed to put me with someone who works perfectly with me. She works at my pace, she understands and works towards our goals, and she helps me to see things more clearly as we process the issues at hand. She never 'tells me' what the issue is or how to solve but instead she leads me there so I can see it on my own as that is much more effective. I was very nervous about online therapy but after this experience with Kristen, I would recommend it to everyone, regardless of the severity of their issues. Kristen is a true professional and can ebb and flow as I am ready to process things. She has been a game changer for me, my family, and my colleagues.

Mr Sachs has been outstanding with his handling of our sessions. Personally, I believe that therapy/counseling is truly a personal experience and the therapist needs to be matched to the patient as much as the patient with the therapist. I feel like he was a perfect fit for what we needed with our sessions.
