Anxiety in the Workplace
Therapy That Works
Personalized Therapy for Managing Work Stress and Performance Anxiety
If you’re feeling anxious at work, you’re not alone. Whether it’s tight deadlines, pressure to perform, fear of public speaking, or struggling to focus through constant stress—workplace anxiety is real, and it can take a toll on your health, relationships, and confidence.
At Minisink Psychology, we offer evidence-based, personalized therapy that helps professionals and students alike regain control of their thoughts, manage physical symptoms, and build emotional resilience—so you can show up fully at work without feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or burnt out.
Is Work Anxiety Affecting You?
You might be dealing with workplace anxiety if you find yourself dreading going to work—even before the week begins. Maybe you replay small mistakes over and over in your head, no matter how minor they are. Your heart might race before meetings or presentations, and you may struggle to focus, prioritize, or finish tasks on time. It can also feel difficult to speak up, take risks, or ask for help, even when you need to.
For many, social interactions or the pressure to perform can feel draining, even if the work itself isn’t the issue. Work-related anxiety often shows up quietly at first, but if left unchecked, it can begin to affect your sleep, your confidence, and your ability to enjoy life outside of work.
How Therapy Can Help
Our approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to support lasting change. These methods are designed to help you:
Reframe unhelpful thought patterns
Learn tools to calm the nervous system in high-stress situations
Navigate workplace dynamics and boundary-setting
Strengthen emotional regulation and decision-making
Regain a sense of self-confidence and purpose
We don’t just help you “push through” anxiety. We work together to build real, sustainable change from the inside out.
