Stress Disorders Issues I Address in Online Therapy

Generalized Anxiety Due to Stress

Chronic stress can trigger excessive worry, tension, and difficulty relaxing. Therapy helps identify stress triggers and develop techniques to manage anxious thoughts.

Acute Stress Disorder (ASD)

ASD occurs after a traumatic event, with symptoms like emotional numbness and intrusive thoughts lasting up to a month. Early therapy interventions can help prevent long-term psychological effects.

Work-Related Stress

High job demands, long hours, and workplace pressure can lead to burnout, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. Therapy helps individuals develop coping strategies to manage work-related stress effectively.

Chronic Stress

Long-term exposure to stress can cause fatigue, irritability, headaches, and difficulty concentrating. Therapy, mindfulness practices, and relaxation techniques help reduce stress and improve overall well-being.

Stress-Related Insomnia

Ongoing stress can interfere with sleep, leading to restlessness and exhaustion. Behavioral therapy and relaxation techniques help restore healthy sleep patterns and improve overall mood.

Stress Incontinence

Emotional stress can contribute to bladder leakage in some individuals. Pelvic floor physical therapy strengthens muscles and helps improve bladder control.

Burnout Syndrome

Prolonged stress, especially in work or caregiving roles, can lead to emotional exhaustion, detachment, and reduced motivation. Therapy helps individuals recognize burnout, set boundaries, and develop healthier coping strategies.

Adjustment Disorder with Stress

Significant life changes, such as job loss or major transitions, can cause emotional distress. Therapy provides support in managing anxiety, depression, and adapting to change.
