STRESS MANAGEMENT THERAPIES
Online Therapy for Stress
Stress is your body's way of dealing with difficult or taxing situations.
Types of Stress
While stress can be positive; keeping you alert to avoid danger, it becomes a problem when stressors are extended without periods of relaxation or relief. Online therapy for stress offered by Katherine Crusey, LMFT, is based on the specific stress you are facing. As such, she is able to create a customized plan using various stress management therapies to address underlying causes and treat your stress symptoms. According to American Psychological Association, there are four types of stress.
Acute
The most common type of stress, occurring in response to immediate challenges or pressures. It can be positive, for example, excitement before a big event. Or negative, a near-miss accident or an argument with someone.
Chronic
Long-term stress that persists over weeks, months, or years, often caused by ongoing issues like toxic relationships, or financial problems. Chronic stress can have serious health effects, including heart disease, and depression.
Distress
A type of negative stress in reaction to specific situations with negative connotations, usually manifesting in daily life. Events such as legal issues, work difficulties, divorce, chronic illness, etc can bring about distress.
Eustress
A positive form of stress that can motivate and enhance performance, such as the pressure to meet a deadline, prepare for a competition, or achieve a goal. Unlike distress, eustress is manageable and can improve resilience.
