Anxiety

Anxiety can show up in many ways—racing thoughts, tension in the body, or difficulty relaxing even when things seem fine. At Abundance Counseling Services, we work together to understand what’s driving your anxiety and to build tools that help you feel calmer, more grounded, and more in control of your day-to-day life.

​

Interventions may include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Learning to recognize and challenge negative thought patterns while building healthier behaviors and coping skills.

• Mindfulness: Practicing being fully present and aware, helping you feel less reactive and more balanced in the moment.

• Somatic Experiencing (SE): Supporting your body’s natural ability to regulate and release stored tension from anxiety through gentle, body-based awareness and grounding techniques.

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Using bilateral stimulation to reprocess distressing experiences and reduce the emotional intensity of anxious memories or triggers.

• Controlled Deep Breathing: Using simple techniques to calm your body, increase oxygen flow, and regain a sense of control.

• Personalized Anxiety Management: Identifying triggers and developing strategies that help you manage stress in ways that fit your lifestyle.

• Support Systems: Strengthening connections with family, friends, or community supports that help you feel understood and supported outside of sessions.

• Medication Collaboration: When appropriate, referrals to your primary care provider or psychiatrist for additional support through medication.

Depression

Depression can make everyday life feel heavy—draining your energy, motivation, and sense of joy. You may find it hard to concentrate, connect with others, or even get out of bed some days. At Abundance Counseling Services, we work together to understand the root of your depression, create space for healing, and rebuild a sense of hope and connection.

​

Interventions may include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Learning to challenge negative thinking patterns, increase self-compassion, and create small, achievable changes that support emotional balance.

• Mindfulness: Developing presence and awareness to reconnect with your body, emotions, and moments of calm, even in difficult times.

• Somatic Experiencing (SE): Gently releasing stored emotional and physical tension that can keep depression “stuck” in the body, helping you move toward greater ease and vitality.

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Reprocessing painful experiences that may contribute to feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness, allowing you to integrate them with more self-understanding and strength.

• Behavioral Activation: Identifying meaningful activities that support connection, movement, and purpose to help lift mood over time.

• Support Systems: Exploring relationships and resources that can help you feel seen, supported, and less isolated.

• Medication Collaboration: When appropriate, referrals to your primary care provider or psychiatrist for additional support through medication.

Grief

Grief is a natural, though deeply painful, response to loss—whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or a major life transition. It can bring waves of sadness, anger, confusion, and even numbness. At Abundance Counseling Services, we offer a compassionate space to honor your loss, understand your emotions, and begin to find meaning and peace in your own time and way.

​

Interventions may include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helping you navigate unhelpful thoughts such as guilt or self-blame and replace them with more supportive perspectives.

• Mindfulness: Encouraging gentle awareness and acceptance of the grief process—allowing emotions to move through rather than be avoided.

• Somatic Experiencing (SE): Supporting the body in safely processing the physical sensations of grief, tension, and emotional overwhelm.

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Assisting in reprocessing distressing or traumatic aspects of loss, reducing emotional pain, and fostering integration and acceptance.

• Narrative and Meaning-Making Work: Helping you tell the story of your loss, honor your relationship with what or who was lost, and begin to reconnect with meaning and purpose.

• Support Systems: Identifying the people and communities that can hold space for you through your healing journey.

• Medication Collaboration: When appropriate, referrals to your primary care provider or psychiatrist for additional support through medication.
