My counseling focus is Marriage and Relationship counseling as well as depression and anxiety. I believe our core problems tend to stem from our desire to be validated and loved by others. When we do not feel worthy, "good enough" or loved we engage in self-protective behaviors (fight or flee), pain comes to the surface and we experience hurt, anger, anxiety and other destructive emotions.

Visit www.freedomwellness.org. Most people come to counseling because something has become too difficult to manage and previous coping has become ineffective at gaining control. The journey toward change is possible only when we learn to "relate differently" to that "something". Tomorrow begins with a glimpse of what you are becoming...not who you have been or what has happened. Follow the wisdom of Lao Tzu in a journey of a thousand miles beginning with a single step and let us begin your journey toward personal, ongoing, therapeutic change.

“We are all born same, we are completely cute, innocent, sweet, and we need that reflection of ourselves as little human beings to live, …” – Anneke Lucas. Hello, I’m Bill, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) located in Bowling Green, Kentucky. It seems that life can sometimes take a bit of the cuteness, innocence, and sweetness away. It is important to remember that our need for belonging and attachment continues throughout life and is not outgrown. If anything, the need may grow to seemingly greater levels. When our needs are not met, the response may be one of experiencing emptiness in life and low self-esteem.

As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor I consider therapy a path of change by way of a specific kind of partnership where clients feel understood, valued, and free to explore patterns of thoughts, emotions, conflicts, and relationships. My approach to counseling is a blend of theoretical concepts aimed at resolving conflicts and refining the necessary skills to meet life's challenges.

Every client is so unique, it would be impossible for me to describe the “ideal client”. I suppose if I was to have to narrow it down, I would prefer a client be open to communicating and be in a place where they are ready to do the things they need to do to accomplish their goals. Most clients come into therapy knowing what they would like, and many know what they need to do to get to where they want, there just seems to be a gap in knowing what needs to be done and making moves.

Anger Management Therapists

How long does therapy take for anger management?

Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.

How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?

Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.

Is there medication for anger management?

Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.

What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
