Therapy for Anxiety:
Stop Running on Empty While Looking Like You Have It All Together
You've Built an Impressive Career. So Why Does It Feel Like You're Barely Holding It Together?
From the outside, you've got it all figured out. The title, the salary, the respect of your peers. But inside? That's a different story.
You're the high-performer who can't shut off the racing thoughts at 3 AM, mentally rehearsing tomorrow's presentation for the hundredth time. The executive who feels like an imposter in every meeting, certain someone will finally realize you don't belong there. The leader who's paralyzed by decisions that should be straightforward, second-guessing every choice.
Maybe you don't feel like you fit in with your team. Maybe you're convinced you're not smart enough, not capable enough, too anxious to think straight. You look around the conference table and wonder: How is everyone else handling this so effortlessly?
The truth is, you're exhausted from the mental gymnastics of appearing confident while feeling anything but.
The Real Cost of "Just Pushing Through"
Here's what's really happening: You keep taking on more because saying no feels impossible. You're working harder, longer, faster—thinking if you just do enough, the anxiety will finally go away.
Except it doesn't.
Instead, you're watching opportunities pass you by because the anxiety of going for that promotion feels unbearable. You're snapping at your partner over nothing because you're running on fumes. Your body is sending signals—tension headaches, digestive issues, that tight feeling in your chest—that something has to give.
You've tried the meditation apps. Downloaded them all, actually. Maybe you've read the self-help books, attended the weekend retreats, added more yoga classes to your already-packed schedule. You've told yourself to just breathe, just be present, just think positive.
And still, you're rushing around trying to do a thousand things at once, saying yes when you mean no, feeling judged, feeling stuck, wondering "How did I end up here?"
This isn't where you thought you'd be. Not like this - overwhelmed, disconnected from the life you worked so hard to build, trapped between who you appear to be and how you actually feel.
Maybe you're also caring for aging parents while managing your demanding career, juggling worry about a loved one's health challenges while trying to show up as the competent professional everyone expects. The anxiety isn't just about work anymore - it's bleeding into every corner of your life.
The worst part? You know you're capable of so much more. But the anxiety has you playing small, playing safe, playing a version of yourself that doesn't quite feel real anymore.
There's a Better Way Forward - And It Doesn't Involve Adding More to Your Plate
What if the solution wasn't about doing more, but about understanding what's really driving the anxiety in the first place?
At Choice Point Counseling Services, anxiety therapy isn't about quick fixes or temporary relief. It's about getting to the root of why you feel stuck, why you can't think straight, why the pressure feels unbearable - and developing practical tools that actually work in your real life.
A Different Kind of Therapy for a Different Kind of Client
I'm Dr. Lorraine Wong, and I get it because I've been there. Before becoming a board-certified clinical psychologist, I worked in the corporate world. I understand the office politics, the high-stakes decisions, the unique pressure of leading teams while managing your own self-doubt.
I bring over 16 years of specialized experience and advanced training in evidence-based approaches that are proven to work for anxiety:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you move forward even when anxiety shows up
TEAM-CBT to rapidly identify and shift the thoughts keeping you stuck
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) to face what you've been avoiding without being overwhelmed
This isn't generic therapy. This is practical, results-oriented work designed for professionals like you who need real solutions, not just coping strategies.
How We'll Work Together
Individual Therapy offers personalized, one-on-one sessions where we'll:
Identify the specific patterns keeping you anxious and stuck
Understand what's really driving your need to overwork, overprepare, and overcommit
Develop skills to handle difficult emotions without avoiding or overcompensating
Build genuine confidence that doesn't depend on external validation
Create sustainable change that aligns with what actually matters to you
Sessions move at your pace, focusing on what you need most—whether that's managing decision paralysis, setting boundaries without guilt, or finally believing you're good enough.
Intensive Therapy is for those who want accelerated results. If you're at a breaking point and can't wait months for traditional weekly therapy to work, intensive sessions condense the healing process:
Extended 2-8 hour sessions that maintain momentum and allow for breakthrough moments
Weekend retreats or concentrated multi-day intensives that fit your schedule
Deep, focused work without the constraints of 50-minute appointments
Achieve in weeks what might take months in traditional therapy
What Changes When Anxiety Doesn't Run the Show
Imagine making decisions with clarity instead of second-guessing yourself into paralysis. Going for the promotion because you actually believe you're capable. Coming home with energy left for the people who matter. Fitting into your own life again.
The goal isn't to eliminate anxiety—that's not realistic. The goal is to develop lasting tools that help you navigate challenges without sacrificing your wellbeing, your relationships, or your sense of self.
Dr. Lorraine Wong is a board-certified clinical psychologist (ABPP) with over 16 years of experience specializing in anxiety, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome for high-achieving professionals.
