Therapy for Chronic Illness

Online therapy for men and women suffering from chronic illness in Kyle, TX, and throughout the state of Texas.

How has living with your chronic illness affected your emotional well-being, relationships, or daily life?

Maybe during a severe flare-up, your doctor was dismissive again of your symptoms, or perhaps you had to cancel a weekend trip with friends leading you to feel disconnected. You may struggle to complete your day-to-day activities or have difficulty viewing the world positively.

Whatever it is that you’re experiencing, you’re beginning to notice the impact of this in every facet of your life:

  • Struggling to stay focused and productive at work because of mental fatigue

  • Stress, anxiety, and depression from managing symptoms

  • Strained relationships and feelings of isolation

  • Difficulty coping with uncertainty and the emotional toll of chronic symptoms.

  • Adjusting to diet, routines, or physical activities to manage symptoms.

The solution you’re looking for.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help.

It may feel impossible now, but you can challenge negative thought patterns. You can learn healthier coping strategies. You can foster a more balanced, calmer mindset.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you do 4 main things:

  • Managing Symptoms: Reduce stress and anxiety, which can lessen the intensity of physical symptoms and improve overall well-being.

  • Reframing Thoughts: Challenge negative beliefs about your illness, fostering a sense of control and hope.

  • Building Coping Skills: Develop tools to manage emotional reactions and adapt to the limitations of chronic illness with greater resilience.

  • Enhancing Quality of Life: Focus on identifying small, achievable goals to bring purpose, joy, and stability to your daily living.

I will help you through this process by tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances. My approach to CBT comes from a place of empathy and empowerment believing that your illness is not your identity, but this is a season in your life you will need to learn to navigate.

Make your diagnosis part of your story not your identity.
