Stress

Feeling Overwhelmed, Stressed, or Stuck in Life?

You work hard every day. You push through exhaustion, stress, and the pressure to keep everything together. But deep down, something doesn’t feel right.

  • You can’t seem to turn off your racing thoughts, no matter how hard you try
  • You feel on edge—nervous in social settings, especially around those who make more than you
  • You struggle with self-doubt, telling yourself that you don’t deserve to feel better
  • Past experiences with therapy left you feeling misunderstood or unheard
  • You just want to feel some sense of peace, but don’t know where to start

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Stress and anxiety can take a toll on your work, relationships, and overall well-being. But it doesn’t have to stay this way.

Therapy Can Help You Regain Control and Find Relief

You might believe that stress and anxiety are just “part of life.” But the truth is, you deserve to feel better—to find peace, confidence, and relief from the weight you’ve been carrying.

With Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), holistic techniques, and a client-centered, relational approach, we help clients:

  • Quiet the mental noise and feel more in control of their thoughts
  • Manage stress without feeling overwhelmed
  • Build confidence and stop second-guessing themselves
  • Develop healthier ways to cope with work and personal challenges
  • Feel truly heard and understood in therapy—without judgment

You don’t have to keep pushing through alone. Therapy can help you figure out who you are!

Common Signs of Stress & Anxiety

Stress and anxiety show up differently for everyone. Some of the most common symptoms include:

  • Feeling constantly on edge or restless
  • Racing thoughts or difficulty concentrating
  • Trouble sleeping due to worry or overthinking
  • Avoiding social situations or feeling out of place
  • Physical symptoms like headaches, muscle tension, or stomach issues
  • Feeling like you’re not good enough or that you don’t belong

If these struggles sound familiar, therapy can help you develop the tools to manage stress, reduce anxiety, and improve your quality of life.

A Down-to-Earth, Judgment-Free Approach to Therapy

We know that many of our clients have never been to therapy before—or worse, have had bad experiences in the past. That’s why we do things differently.

With the therapists at Michael Noll Counseling, you don’t have to put on a front or worry about being judged. We understand the unique stressors of blue-collar workers, the frustration of not feeling heard, and the struggle of not feeling “good enough” for friends, family and work.

Our approach is simple:

  • We meet you where you are: No pressure, no pretense—just real conversations and real solutions
  • We focus on practical strategies: You’ll gain tools you can actually use in your daily life, not just generic advice
  • We believe everyone deserves quality care: Your worth isn’t tied to your job, income, or background

Our Approach to Stress & Anxiety Therapy

We use Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a holistic, client-centered approach to help you build lasting change. Therapy is more than just talking—it’s about learning practical skills to manage stress, calm your thoughts, and improve your overall well-being.

Through therapy, we help you:

  • Identify thought patterns that keep you stuck in stress and anxiety
  • Develop and use mindfulness to stay present and in control
  • Build confidence and self-worth
  • Find healthier ways to cope with daily challenges

You don’t have to face this alone. We’re here to help.
