Stop the Constant "What If" Loops That Keep You Up at Night

Anxiety Therapy in Baton Rouge | Liz Jones, LCSW

Your mind won't quit. You replay conversations, catastrophize things that haven't happened, and brace for the worst. You're exhausted from managing an anxiety that never fully goes away. There's a way to quiet it.

Individual therapy session for anxiety in Baton Rouge with Liz Jones, LCSW

Does Any of This Sound Familiar?

  • Replaying conversations for hours, convinced you said the wrong thing.
  • Avoiding situations that trigger the spiral — phone calls, social events, conflict.
  • Physical symptoms you can't explain: tight chest, stomach in knots, shallow breath.
  • Lying awake running through tomorrow's problems even when everything is fine.
  • A constant low-level hum of dread that no one else around you seems to feel.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in anxiety treatment at my Baton Rouge office. If you're ready to stop managing anxiety and actually overcome it, reach out today.

How We Stop the Spiral

Anxiety is not a character flaw and it's not permanent. Here's how we actually work on it:

Identify Your Exact Triggers

We map the specific thought patterns and situations that send you spiraling, so you stop feeling ambushed by your own mind.

Build a Real Toolkit

You'll leave sessions with concrete techniques to interrupt the cycle before it takes over — not just "breathe and think positive."

Address What's Underneath

Anxiety is often the surface. We work on what's driving it so relief actually lasts rather than requiring constant management.

Types of Anxiety We Work On Together

Generalized Anxiety (GAD)

The constant worry that cycles through work, health, relationships, and everything in between — never fully settling.

Social Anxiety

The panic that sets in when your phone rings and you don't recognize the number. Or any situation where you might be judged.

Panic Attacks

Those terrifying waves that come out of nowhere and leave you afraid of when the next one will hit.

Health Anxiety

Convinced every headache is something serious, and no test result actually reassures you for more than a day.

Work & Performance Anxiety

Paralyzed before presentations, over-preparing for every meeting, and never feeling ready enough no matter how much you do.

People-Pleasing & Fear of Disappointing

Saying yes to everything you want to say no to, then lying awake resenting it and yourself.

Perfectionism

If it's not done exactly right, it doesn't feel done at all. The standard keeps moving and you can never catch it.

Relationship Anxiety

Searching for signs that they're pulling away, convinced they're leaving even when things seem fine.

What to Expect in Anxiety Therapy

No generic advice. No homework you'll forget. Here's how the work actually unfolds:

1

Understand Your Anxiety

We identify exactly how your anxiety shows up: triggers, thought loops, and physical responses that are unique to you — not a textbook case.

2

Break the Cycle

Using evidence-based techniques, we interrupt the spirals and build new ways of responding when anxiety-provoking situations arise.

3

Build Lasting Change

Skills and self-awareness you keep after therapy ends, so anxiety loses its grip permanently rather than coming back the moment life gets hard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most clients see meaningful shift in 8–16 sessions, though this varies. Anxiety severity, history, and how much it's affecting daily life all play a role. We'll assess regularly and you'll always know where we are in the process.

No. Breathing is one small tool. We'll identify what's actually driving your anxiety — the underlying patterns, beliefs, and often deeper roots — and work on those directly. You'll have strategies that work in real situations, not just in a calm moment.

Not necessarily. Therapy alone is highly effective for anxiety. Medication can be a useful complement for some people. I'm happy to coordinate with a prescriber if that seems like the right fit for your situation.

If it's affecting your sleep, your relationships, your work, or your ability to enjoy your life, it's enough. You don't need to be in crisis to deserve support. Waiting until it's "bad enough" usually means waiting until it's much harder to treat.

Sessions are $125 and are private pay. Upon request, I can provide a Superbill — an itemized receipt you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. A Good Faith Estimate will be provided before services begin, in accordance with the No Surprises Act.
