Get Help from a Work Stress Therapist in Ontario and Feel Calm and Centered

Some stress at work is normal.

For many of us, our work is our source of survival. It’s how we pay for our lives and keep our families whole. So of course we’d feel a bit of stress managing that.

And everyone has periods of time when more work is necessary. For example, retail workers during the holidays, or business owners during “busy season.”

For others, starting a new job is stressful. They may have anxiety and stress days before beginning a new job. Imposter syndrome can creep in against our best intentions.

However, we all need time to counterbalance our lives with time for family, friends, and fun.

Work stress therapy will help you get to the root of your stress, so you can solve it at the source.

We’ll consider the things that are contributing to your experience of work stress.

• Relationships with boss and coworkers
• Job alignment with your skills, values, and goals
• Commutes and time spent getting to and from work
• Turning off work-related thoughts during your free time
• Rediscovering your work-life balance and filling your cup outside of work

I can also help you reconnect with your family and friends, even if it’s just a few hours each week.

What will your life look like with less work related stress and more peace and calm?

How will it feel to know your work compliments and enhances your life, rather than adds stress and burnout to it?

What are 5 signs of work-related stress?

Work-related stress often presents as physical, emotional, or behavioral symptoms. Key signs include:

• constant fatigue
• irritability with colleagues or loved ones
• frequent headaches or muscle tension
• difficulty concentrating, and
• disrupted sleep patterns

These symptoms can interfere with daily functioning and may worsen without support. Recognizing these signs early can be an important step in managing work stress and maintaining overall well-being.

What therapy is best for work stress?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is effective for work stress as it helps reframe negative thought patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) also builds resilience by focusing on personal values and accepting challenges. Both therapies address stressors constructively, enabling better coping strategies. Your therapist may tailor these or combine them with other approaches based on your specific needs. We may also draw on body-based therapies like EMDR and Somatic Experiencing.

What therapy helps with job anxiety?

Therapies like Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are beneficial for job anxiety.

How to stop being stressed about work?

Effective stress management techniques include setting boundaries, practicing mindfulness, and focusing on self-care.

Regular therapy sessions provide tools for resilience and finding balance in your work-life routine. I can help you reduce stress to manageable levels so you can function well and without the weight of stress on you.

Should I quit my job due to stress?

Quitting can be a big decision. Therapy helps you assess whether the stress is manageable with coping skills or if it’s a sign of deeper job dissatisfaction. Before deciding, therapy can help explore adjustments, communication strategies with your employer, and tools to reduce stress. It’s often beneficial to address underlying causes before making life-altering decisions.

How to deal with a boss who stresses you out?
