Individual & Couples Therapy | Newport Beach, CA
There are important differences between stress and anxiety, but they feel quite similar. Both are based on perception, both feature uncertainty, and both are mutually reinforcing. Also, both tend to feel quite awful.
Stress and anxiety rarely respond well to advice alone — lasting change comes from learning to work differently with the thoughts, feelings, and patterns that keep them going. Treatment focuses on building practical skills for recognizing unhelpful thinking patterns and responding to them with more flexibility, while also developing a different relationship to difficult emotions — one grounded in acceptance rather than avoidance.
Rather than simply trying to eliminate anxious thoughts or stressful feelings, Dr. Seghers encourages his clients to clarify what matters most and take meaningful action even when discomfort is present. The goal isn’t a life free of stress or anxiety, but the capacity to move through it with greater clarity, resilience, and alignment with one’s values.
