In stress and anxiety management therapy, the therapist works with the patient to develop coping skills to manage stress more effectively. The goal is to develop ways to deal with stressful life situations so you keep functioning and not feel paralyzed. Stress and anxiety management can help you:

• Deal with negative thoughts about stress
• Manage stressful situations
• Stop obsessing about stressful situations
• Deal with panic attacks-sometimes in conjunction with medication
• Confront your fears and understand that many fears are irrational
• Anxiety, stress or guilt issues
