I enjoy working with children, teens, and their families to achieve their goals through supporting healthier and happier relationships. Clients often tell me that our work has helped them to sort through their thoughts and feelings to gain clarity, to grow, to learn about themselves, to develop confidence, and to feel empowered to make important decisions. I employ a flexible approach tailored to the needs of each client. I use an eclectic approach to therapy, guided by the needs of the client. When trust is established, change happens.

Lisa Gabel is an LPCC and she has obtained additional education in the areas of addiction and substance use disorders as well as trauma-informed care, anger management, and domestic violence counseling practices.
Many individuals struggle with anxiety, depression, panic, and struggle to process trauma. When adjusting to these changing life situations finding healthy coping solutions can be challenging. Many individuals turn to unhealthy coping behaviors to cope with their emotions. As a clinician, I enjoy assisting clients and their families to find healthy coping skills and rebuild and renew their motivation and purpose to create their best life.

Whether it be anger management, anxiety, depression, alcohol/ drug problems or out of control sexual issues, people come to the place where they want help.
Over the past 18 years I have found clients seeking my assistance who are searching for ways to improve their lives. Many times we find ourselves either stuck or unable to break free from the thoughts, feelings or behaviors that seem to drag us down. Many people find it helpful to be able to voice their struggles to someone who will be non judgmental or condemning. I have found that people want to renew their hope for a better tomorrow, others need to regain their inner strength, while others long for a new vision of what their life could be.

The end goal of therapy is not simply to “be happy” and never experience other emotions, like sadness or anger, but to learn tools and coping skills that can better help you with life's challenges.
Life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows; it can be filled with challenges, difficulties, and hardships. I believe that life is all about perspective and the way we react to problems. Our trials and tribulations are opportunities for us to grow into stronger and wiser individuals. When challenges arise, most people ask, "Why?"

Do you wake up with just enough energy to make it through the day? Is your day filled with feelings of insecurities, sadness, fears, shame and anger? Other days, do you rely on your intuition to manage intense emotions and excessive worries? How about avoiding certain situations, lacking concentration, or keeping yourself excessively busy; possibly anxiety? Anxiety is inevitable. However, when your worries are persistent, disruptS your daily activities, and sabotages your relationships, it maybe time to seek support. I welcome the experience to see if I could be your source of support.

How long does therapy take for anger management?

Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.

How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?

Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.

Is there medication for anger management?

Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.

What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
