Anxiety Therapist | Minneapolis & St. Paul

Takeaway: If it feels like your worries are holding you back from being the woman you want to be, you’re not alone. Many people–especially women–struggle with anxiety. The good news is that you don’t have to continue feeling this way. Anxiety counseling in Minneapolis and St. Paul can help you regain your confidence. 

 Does this sound like you?

You're constantly overthinking, worrying you said the wrong thing in a meeting, or when grabbing coffee with a friend. It feels like you can't do anything without worrying if it was wrong. Sometimes, your active mind allows you to stay one step ahead, but lately, it's just made you feel utterly exhausted.

You also identify as a perfectionist. You recognize that your high standards have helped you get far in life—especially in your career—but the goalposts that you set for yourself keep moving and it feels like you can never measure up. You want to feel good enough, but you are not sure how.

On top of it all, you struggle with boundaries, too. You check your email around the clock, even though you can recognize it spikes your stress level. You're always taking on new projects at work, even if you don't have the bandwidth. You don't always feel confident enough to say what you want or need, both in your career and in your personal life.

Sound familiar? I can help.

Meet Beth Klein, MS, LMFT | Feminist anxiety therapist

Anxious feelings and thought patterns can keep you stuck in a spiral that feels impossible to break out of. Thankfully, we can change that.

I'm passionate about helping women who are seeking change. Something has driven you to this point in your life, and it's clear that you want your life to be different. You want to feel different. Therapy makes that possible—I've seen it firsthand in my years of experience as an anxiety therapist.

I support women in rediscovering their values. By reconnecting with what's truly important to you, we can identify the steps necessary to living a life you feel passionate about. You'll step away from our sessions with the knowledge and confidence to harness the inner strengths you already possess.

 My approach to anxiety counseling in Minneapolis & St. Paul

I take an engaging, hands-on approach to therapy. While I'm eager to hear about what's brought you to therapy (and what you want to achieve), I'm not a "sit and listen" kind of therapist. I'm outgoing and actively involved in your care. Most of all, I want to ensure that you continue to make progress even after we've wrapped up our work together.

Therapy with me is also driven by values and social justice. We'll discover what's important to you and help align your lifestyle with those values. At the same time, we'll explore how larger forces, like sexism or racism, might be impacting you. Using both these lenses together helps us get a well-rounded view of who you are and what you want.

Right now, it might feel like you are your anxiety. In therapy, you'll learn how to separate yourself from your anxiety symptoms. This doesn't mean pretending you don't feel anxious. Rather, it's about observing your thoughts and feelings without letting them run your life. Your anxiety is a part of you, but you're also so much more than that.

In addition to my general orientation to therapy, I use a variety of different therapeutic techniques to treat anxiety, including:

anxiety counseling
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

  • Exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP)

  • Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)

  • Solution-focused therapy (SFT)

  • Motivational interviewing

If it sounds like we might be a good fit for each other, I encourage you to schedule a complimentary consultation.
