Couples & Parenting Counseling Serving New York & Connecticut (Telehealth)

Anxiety & Stress

Anxiety can show up in many forms—constant worry, difficulty relaxing, irritability, overthinking, trouble sleeping, or feeling overwhelmed by even small tasks. Sometimes it looks like perfectionism. Sometimes it feels like exhaustion. And sometimes it’s simply the sense that you’re carrying far too much on your own.

At Westchester Psychological Associates, we provide compassionate, practical support for individuals looking to better understand their anxiety and build tools that restore calm, balance, and confidence in daily life.


Who We Support

We work with adults and teens experiencing:

  • Generalized anxiety or chronic worry

  • Stress from parenting, work, relationships, or major life demands

  • Perfectionism and pressure to “hold it all together”

  • Panic symptoms or physical manifestations of stress

  • Social anxiety or self-doubt

  • Overwhelm during transitions or unexpected changes

  • Burnout, emotional fatigue, or difficulty setting boundaries

  • Anxiety related to identity, belonging, or family dynamics

Whether anxiety is new or long-standing, therapy offers a steady space to slow down, understand what’s happening, and build new ways of coping.


Common Areas of Focus

Therapy for anxiety often includes:

  • Understanding the root causes and triggers of anxiety

  • Managing worry, rumination, and racing thoughts

  • Learning practical grounding, breathing, and regulation strategies

  • Setting boundaries and reducing emotional overload

  • Addressing perfectionism, people-pleasing, or unrealistic expectations

  • Increasing self-compassion and reducing negative self-talk

  • Improving sleep, daily routines, and stress management

  • Coping with life transitions and uncertainty


Our Approach

Our work blends evidence-based strategies—such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and emotion regulation skills—with a warm, supportive therapeutic relationship. We tailor sessions to your needs, pace, and goals, focusing on tools that make a meaningful difference in your everyday life.

Therapy is not about removing anxiety altogether; it’s about helping you respond to it with clarity, steadiness, and confidence.

  • Greater calm and emotional steadiness
