Stress Management

Stress is more than a feeling. It shows up in sleep, patience, focus, and health. When responsibilities stack up, your body can stay on alert and your calendar stops leaving room to breathe. Stress management therapy at Emberhaven gives you a calm place to sort the noise, reset expectations, and build sustainable rhythms that protect your time and energy. Sessions are available in person in Greensboro and High Point or via secure telehealth across North Carolina.

Life is demanding. Make space to breathe.

How We Treat Stress

We pair nervous-system skills with practical habit change so relief shows up in daily life. Early sessions focus on grounding and paced breathing, brief mindfulness and body-awareness tools, and CBT strategies that interrupt worry spirals and all-or-nothing thinking. We add Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and align your schedule with what matters, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) informed skills for emotion regulation and boundaries, and behavioral sleep strategies to restore a steady sleep-wake rhythm. Together we design recovery blocks in your week, experiment with focus habits (such as time-blocking), and craft boundary language that fits your personality at work and home. When medical factors contribute (pain, hormones, ADHD), we’ll coordinate with your providers at your direction.

What Sessions Look Like At Emberhaven

We begin by mapping pressures, supports, and values, then set two or three concrete targets you can feel within a few weeks—often sleep consistency, one protected focus block per day, and a short recovery routine. Most people start with weekly sessions, then taper to biweekly as skills stick. Each visit balances quick practice (breathing, grounding, boundary rehearsals) with small experiments for the coming week. We track markers like sleep efficiency, reactivity during tough moments, meeting overload, and follow-through on recovery blocks so you can see progress. Over time, clients notice steadier energy, better focus, fewer spikes, and more margin for people and activities that matter.
