Anxiety Therapy Orlando: 5 Signs You Have Anxiety

Written by: Elizabeth Yoak, LMHC

Lately, you haven’t felt like yourself. You’ve been feeling overwhelmed, jittery, and tense. Things that you used to be able to do with ease now feel impossible to accomplish without a sense of being on edge. To avoid feeling overwhelmed, you may have even started to avoid certain tasks that make you feel this way.

As this feeling goes on, you start questioning what it is that you’re experiencing. You’re starting to wonder “Is this what anxiety is like?”. You’ve heard the term anxiety used before but you’re curious if this describes what you have been feeling. Mostly though, you just want to feel calm again.

We are passionate about helping people move from feeling anxious and overwhelmed to calm and collected.

Written by: Lauran Hahn, LMHC

You’re anxious and edgy. You’ve tried to limit your screen time, but picking up your phone almost feels like a compulsion.

After you set a limit, you rationalize breaking it because you’re waiting on an important work email or you posted an engaging post on social media. Regardless of the reason, it’s a slippery slope because before you know it, you’re checking the portals nonstop again.

At Mindful Living Counseling, we help people with anxiety learn coping tools to manage things so that they are comfortable in their skin again. One of the things we explore is screen time and its impact on anxiety.

Anxiety Therapy Orlando: A Guide to Understanding and Overcoming OCD

Written by: Lauran Hahn, LMHC

How often have you heard someone say, "Oh, I'm so OCD," or make a joke about OCD while dismissing the serious issues it causes? Obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD, is a complex mental health condition. Living with obsessive-compulsive disorder involves much more than being too neat or liking things done the exact way. People with OCD are trapped in a loop of repetitive thoughts and behaviors over which they believe they have no control. The really bad part is that most people with OCD are aware that their fears are irrational, but they believe they have no control over them. OCD rituals can consume a lot of time and significantly disrupt a person’s daily life.
