Individual Therapy for Anxiety and Depression
Individual therapy with Dr. Sisk offers a grounded, collaborative, and dynamic environment where clients can explore the emotional, relational, and practical challenges that shape their daily lives. Many people arrive feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship stress, self-doubt, or life transitions that feel destabilizing. Therapy provides structure and clarity, helping clients understand what feels difficult, identify the patterns that maintain distress, and build tools for a more grounded emotional life.
The process begins with a thoughtful exploration of what the client hopes to change. Together, client and therapist identify the concerns that brought them to therapy, the patterns that fuel these concerns, and the goals that would feel meaningful to achieve. This shared understanding becomes the roadmap for treatment.
Treatment Integrations
Dr. Sisk integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Psychodynamic Therapy.
CBT helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts, reduce cycles of worry or rumination, and shift internal narratives that contribute to anxiety or depression.
ACT supports clients in developing flexibility around difficult emotions, learning how to approach discomfort rather than avoid it. Psychodynamic work explores deeper emotional themes, early experiences, and relational patterns that continue to influence current behavior.
Psychodynamic Therapy helps clients understand and improve their communication, conflict cycles, and interpersonal boundaries.
Anxiety Treatment
For clients struggling with anxiety, therapy includes developing emotional regulation skills, grounding techniques, exposure strategies, and an understanding of triggers and avoidance patterns. Individuals learn to notice early signs of escalation, work through worry spirals, and create steadier internal responses.
Depression Treatment
For depression, therapy focuses on reconnecting with meaning, breaking cycles of hopelessness or self-criticism, and rebuilding motivation. Clients explore the emotional roots of sadness or numbness, understand what reinforces depressive patterns, and develop tools to build forward momentum.
Relationships
Relationship themes are an essential part of treatment. Many clients experience conflict avoidance, people-pleasing, emotional disconnection, or difficulty setting boundaries. Therapy helps individuals understand these patterns and practice healthier, more grounded ways of relating.
Throughout treatment, clients can expect a productive therapeutic partnership. Dr. Sisk blends practical skills with deeper emotional work, helping individuals move toward long-term resilience, clarity, and meaningful internal change.
