Hi,
Thank you for your question. Yes, a person can definitely go to therapy for stress. There are a lot of stress management strategies that you can try with your therapist, including deep diaphragmatic breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, mindfulness and meditation, and other coping strategies such as journaling, reading, drawing or other forms of artistic expression, listening to music, exercise or going for a walk, petting your dog, reaching out for support from a trusted friend or family member, etc. I would also recommend seeking professional help through therapy to explore other ways of dealing with stress that you can try.
Best,

The awesome thing about therapy is that you, the client, gets to decide on what to talk about and or work on. Of course, where therapy leads you is a whole other topic. However, if stress is a major issue or concern to YOU, then please feel free to reach out to a therapist to begin.
Hope this helps.

Yes, as a matter of fact people would be surprised to know that therapist use other therapist as a tool in mental health issues such as dealing with stress. Sometimes it just takes learning coping skills. You can do that with a behavioralist as well.
Yes, stress is an appropriate reason to see a therapist. You can learn strategies for decompressing and the importance of self-care. I would imagine that the stress is coming from somewhere in your life and perhaps it would be helpful to unpack this and process. It is also important to realize that we each have 100% of time. Think of it as a pie, like a pizza pie with slices but each slice is not evenly distributed. Your slices represent the percentages of how you allocate your time and the pie has to total 100%. So if you have a slice that is being allocated to sleep for 20% and work for 50% and family for 10% and social/friends for 15% that leaves you only 5% for medical, hygiene, self-care, alone time, house hold tasks, etc. etc. so of course you're stressed! Sometimes reducing your stress is also about reshuffling your pie chart and redistributing time percentages as in the pizza pie analogy.
Absolutely, but your insurance may not pay for it unless it's severe and medically necessary. Stress is basically your mind's response to a perceived threat, your mind's response to that response, how all that affects your health and well being, and your mind's response to that, often in an ongoing vicious cycle - your own Department of Homeland Insecurity. Going to therapy for stress is one of the best things you can do for yourself.
I hope this is helpful.

Absolutely! Therapy is a great way to process stressors, as well as gain coping skills, insight and perspective in dealing with stress.
