Stress and anxiety are common emotions that affect millions of people worldwide, including those in the LGBTQ+ community.
These conditions can cause a range of physical, emotional, and cognitive symptoms, such as rapid heartbeat, racing thoughts, and difficulty concentrating.
Fortunately, therapy can be an effective tool for managing stress and anxiety. At Cadenza Counseling, we offer therapy services that can help you manage your stress and anxiety.
Here are some ways that therapy at Cadenza Counseling can support you:
Understanding Your Stress and Anxiety
The first step in managing stress and anxiety is to understand the underlying causes of these conditions.

We can teach you a range of coping strategies, such as mindfulness techniques, relaxation exercises, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.
These strategies can help you manage your stress and anxiety symptoms and improve your overall well-being.
Identifying and Changing Negative Thoughts
Negative thoughts and beliefs can contribute to stress and anxiety.
Therapy can help you identify and change negative thought patterns that are contributing to your stress and anxiety.
We can work with you to identify these negative thoughts and beliefs and help you reframe them in a more positive and realistic way. This can help you reduce your stress and anxiety levels and improve your mood.
Improving Self-Care Practices
Self-care practices are essential for managing stress and anxiety.
Therapy offers a caring space to discover what truly helps you feel grounded and supported.
We’ll work together to find self-care practices that feel realistic and nurturing for you — maybe that’s gentle movement, mindfulness, connecting with nature, or simply making time to breathe. You don’t have to figure this out alone. By slowly weaving these supportive habits into your life, you can ease stress, calm anxiety, and create more moments of peace and well-being each day.
