Stress Management
Stress isn’t just in your head—it shows up in sleep, patience, focus, and health. When pace outruns capacity, your nervous system stays “on,” and recovery never quite happens. Stress management therapy at Mason Family Counseling helps you calm the body, right-size expectations, and build rhythms that protect your time and energy. In-person in Mason and telehealth statewide.

How We Treat Stress At Mason Family Counseling
We pair nervous-system skills with habit change. You’ll practice grounding and paced breathing, brief mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) tools that interrupt all-or-nothing thinking. We use acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to clarify values and align your calendar, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) informed strategies for emotion regulation and boundaries, and behavioral sleep methods to reset your nights. Together we design recovery blocks and simple focus habits you can keep during busy seasons. With permission, we’ll coordinate with medical providers when health factors contribute.
What Sessions Look Like At Mason Family Counseling
We map pressures, supports, and values, then pick two or three metrics—sleep regularity, protected focus blocks, and reactivity—to track weekly. Most begin weekly, then taper. Each session includes quick skills practice and one small experiment to try at work or home.
