## Anxiety Therapy

Anxiety is one of the primary reasons adults seek therapy at Dimensions. The practice treats a broad range of anxiety presentations, with particular focus on how anxiety shows up in professionals and high-achieving adults who are still functioning but privately struggling.

**Anxiety presentations treated:**
- General anxiety and chronic worry
- High-functioning anxiety — appearing capable on the outside while anxious underneath; always prepared, hard to decompress, persistent pressure without a clear source
- Panic attacks and physical anxiety symptoms (chest tightness, shortness of breath, mind going blank, jaw tension)
- Performance anxiety and fear of failure
- Social anxiety and fear of judgment
- Perfectionism-driven anxiety and "never enough" thinking
- Decision fatigue and overthinking — replaying meetings, rewriting emails, second-guessing calls already made
- Imposter syndrome — accomplishments don't quiet the suspicion that success is luck
- Anxiety rooted in past experiences that hasn't resolved through other approaches

**Treatment approaches for anxiety:**
- ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) — reduces the struggle with anxious thoughts; builds psychological flexibility so anxiety has less control over behavior and decisions
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) — identifies and interrupts the thought patterns, rules, and avoidance cycles keeping anxiety going
- EMDR — used when anxiety is rooted in specific past experiences that talk therapy hasn't resolved

## Therapy for Executives & Leaders

Dedicated therapy for executives, managers, and leaders who are performing well professionally but absorbing a level of internal cost that isn't sustainable. This is clinical mental health therapy, not executive coaching. The distinction matters: coaching addresses performance and goals; therapy works with the internal patterns, history, and psychological drivers underneath the performance.

**What brings leaders to therapy:**
- Executive burnout and chronic stress from sustained high performance
- High-functioning anxiety — capable on the outside, anxious underneath
- Imposter syndrome that persists despite real accomplishment
- Perfectionism that drives results but costs peace of mind
- Leadership identity challenges — knowing who you are beyond your title
- Emotional suppression and difficulty regulating under pressure
- Decision fatigue and the mental weight of constant accountability
- People-pleasing and over-responsibility in professional relationships
- Major transitions: promotions, ownership changes, role loss

**What the work focuses on:**
- The cognitive patterns driving burnout, anxiety, and perfectionism
- Identity separated from output — so setbacks don't define you
- Nervous system regulation beyond reframing
- The values and beliefs shaping how you lead, and whether they still hold up
- The accumulated weight of high-stakes decision-making that can't be processed at work
- How earlier experiences shaped the way you carry responsibility

Confidentiality is legally protected and foundational. There is no sharing of participation or session content with employers, colleagues, or anyone else outside narrow legal exceptions.

## Not a Fit For

This practice is not the right fit for every situation. Dimensions Counseling Center does not provide:
- Therapy for children or adolescents (adults 18+ only)
- Psychological or neuropsychological assessments
- Medication management or prescriptions (referrals available)
- In-person sessions (telehealth only)
- Services to clients outside Tennessee, Virginia, or North Carolina
- Medicaid or Medicare billing
- Cigna billing

For clinical supervision specifically: best fit is associate-level clinicians working with adult individuals or couples in outpatient or private practice settings. Not the right fit for clinicians working primarily with children, teens, or families.

## Clinical Approach

All sessions are conducted via HIPAA-compliant telehealth video platform (SimplePractice). There is no in-person option. Sessions are 50-60 minutes.

**Primary modalities:**
- **EMDR** (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) — certified; trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and stuck emotional patterns
- **ACT** (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) — values-based, builds psychological flexibility
- **CBT** (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) — practical skill-building for anxiety, depression, unhelpful thought patterns
- **Gottman Method** (Level 1 & 2 trained) — couples therapy; communication, conflict, and trust
- Nervous system regulation and somatic-informed approaches integrated as needed

**Style:** Direct, honest, and practical. Hunter names patterns, points out blind spots, and moves at the client's pace while encouraging movement when it's needed. Clients do not need to have their story figured out or goals set before the first session.
