Anxiety Therapy & Counseling

Anxiety is common, treatable, and nothing to be ashamed of.

Anxiety can affect many areas of life — thoughts, emotions, relationships, sleep, and overall well-being. When anxiety becomes overwhelming or begins interfering with daily life, therapy can help you understand what’s happening and develop tools to feel more grounded, calm, and in control.

At Murfreesboro Therapy, Tammie Elkins, LMFT provides compassionate, evidence-based anxiety therapy for adults and adolescents in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment.

Understanding Anxiety

Anxiety is more than occasional worry or stress. It may show up as constant nervousness, racing thoughts, restlessness, irritability, or physical symptoms such as tension, fatigue, or difficulty sleeping. For some people, anxiety feels like a constant background noise; for others, it may come in waves or sudden spikes.

Common experiences related to anxiety include:

• Excessive worry or fear
• Difficulty concentrating
• Feeling on edge or easily overwhelmed
• Avoidance of certain situations
• Physical symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, or muscle tension
• Panic attacks or intense moments of fear

How Anxiety Therapy Can Help

Therapy provides a safe space to explore the root causes of anxiety and learn healthier ways to respond to stress and fear. Rather than simply managing symptoms, anxiety therapy focuses on understanding patterns, building coping skills, and creating lasting change.

Through counseling, you can:

• Identify triggers and underlying stressors
• Learn tools to manage anxious thoughts and physical symptoms
• Develop healthier coping strategies
• Improve emotional regulation
• Increase confidence and resilience
• Feel more present and in control of daily life

Progress happens at your pace, with support every step of the way.
