When worry becomes overwhelming

Everyone feels anxious sometimes—before a big meeting, during a major decision, or in unfamiliar situations. But when that anxiety starts running the show—interfering with your sleep, hijacking your thoughts, or making everyday tasks feel unmanageable—it may be time to reach out for help.

At New Light Counseling, we support individuals navigating anxiety with warmth, curiosity, and evidence-based care. Whether your anxiety shows up as racing thoughts, muscle tension, panic attacks, or perfectionism, you're not alone—and it doesn't have to stay this way.

What Does Anxiety Look Like?

Anxiety can show up in many ways, including:

Constant worrying or racing thoughts
Difficulty sleeping or relaxing
Avoiding situations or people
Panic attacks or intense fear
Trouble focusing or feeling "on edge"
Physical symptoms like chest tightness, rapid heartbeat, or stomach issues

If these symptoms are interfering with your daily life, therapy can help you find relief and reclaim a sense of calm and control.

You might not even call it anxiety—just “stress,” “overwhelm,” or “never being able to relax.” But deep down, it feels like your nervous system is always on alert.
