Areas of Focus for Therapy
Anxiety
Anxiety can affect many aspects of daily life, causing persistent worry, restlessness, and difficulty concentrating. At Anchor Clinical Psychology, LLC, we help individuals understand the underlying causes of their anxiety and develop effective coping strategies. Through evidence-based therapy, clients learn to manage symptoms, reduce stress, and regain a sense of calm and control.
Depression
Depression is more than just feeling sad, it can impact mood, motivation, sleep, and relationships. We provide a compassionate, supportive environment where individuals can explore their feelings and experiences. Using proven therapeutic approaches, our goal is to help clients find relief from depressive symptoms, foster hope, and rediscover joy and meaning in their lives.
Trauma
Experiencing trauma can lead to emotional distress, intrusive memories, and difficulty trusting others. Our trauma-informed care recognizes the profound impact of these experiences and offers a safe space for healing. Through specialized therapies, we support clients in processing trauma, rebuilding resilience, and moving forward with renewed strength and confidence.
Sleep difficulties can impact concentration, mood, and overall well-being, often leaving individuals feeling drained and overwhelmed. At Anchor Clinical Psychology, we work collaboratively to identify contributing factors and support clients in developing healthier sleep routines. We emphasize practical strategies such as improving sleep hygiene and building good habits that encourage more restful and restorative sleep.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective, evidence-based approach that helps individuals identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to emotional distress. CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, teaching practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other challenges. Through collaborative sessions, clients learn to reframe negative thoughts, develop healthier coping strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting change in their lives.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based approach that helps individuals accept difficult thoughts and emotions rather than struggling against them. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and committing to actions that align with those values, promoting psychological flexibility and well-being. Through ACT, clients learn mindfulness skills, develop greater self-acceptance, and take meaningful steps toward a more fulfilling life.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a specialized therapy for treating trauma, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). CPT helps individuals identify and challenge unhelpful beliefs related to traumatic experiences, fostering a healthier understanding of themselves and the world. By working through these thoughts in a structured, supportive environment, clients can reduce trauma symptoms, improve daily functioning, and regain a sense of safety and control.
