My therapy sessions are also designed to be a safe and supportive space where you can explore your feelings, identify patterns, and develop tools for managing anxiety.

From mindfulness exercises to cognitive-behavioral techniques, I use evidence-based practices to help you reduce anxiety's impact on your daily life.
Anxiety can manifest in many different ways, and it’s important to understand the specific type of anxiety you may be experiencing. At Jessica Urzua-Jones LMFT, I help clients navigate various forms of anxiety, including:
-
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): This involves excessive worry about everyday situations, even when there is no apparent reason for concern.
-
Social Anxiety: Intense fear of being judged or humiliated in social situations, leading to avoidance of social interactions.
-
Panic Disorder: Sudden and repeated panic attacks that involve physical symptoms like chest pain, heart palpitations, and shortness of breath.
-
Phobias: Extreme fear of specific objects, situations, or activities that interfere with daily life.
-
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Recurrent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and/or repetitive behaviors (compulsions) that one feels driven to perform.
So no matter what type of anxiety you’re facing, I work with you to understand the root causes and provide practical tools for managing symptoms.
