Do you feel withdrawn or go against your own values to please others, or even lash out sometimes because you don’t know what to do with how you feel?

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW
Garner, NC 27529
Hello, my name is Deja Jackson and I have been a therapist since February 2021. Person-centered, interpersonal, mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are some therapeutic methods I utilize to help clients overcome struggles they may be having. Self-care is a big part of my practice, because I believe it can be difficult to care for others in our lives, when we are not caring for ourselves properly. I like to encourage my client to enforce boundaries they believe they need in their lives, understand the importance of compromise and when it is appropriate, and maintain mindfulness of needs and emotions.

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.
