Anxiety Therapy in Michigan
If your mind rarely gives you a moment’s peace — if you’re always bracing for the next thing that could go wrong, replaying conversations at 2 a.m., or feeling your heart race over something you can’t quite name — you’re not overreacting, and you’re not alone. Anxiety is one of the most common reasons adults reach out for therapy, and it’s also one of the most treatable.
Lori Little, MA, offers anxiety therapy for adults across Michigan — in person in Keego Harbor and online by secure telehealth statewide. Wherever you start, the goal is the same: to help you feel like yourself again, instead of ruled by worry.
How Anxiety Shows Up Day To Day
Anxiety looks different for everyone, but if several of these feel familiar, you’re in the right place
A mind that won't slow down.
Racing thoughts, endless "what ifs," overthinking every decision, rehearsing worst-case scenarios that rarely come. Your brain treats ordinary life like a threat to be managed.
A body that's always braced.
A pounding heart, tight chest, knotted stomach, tension headaches, restlessness, or bone-deep fatigue. Anxiety lives in the body as much as the mind — and sometimes the physical symptoms, or worry about your health, are what you notice first.
Things you've quietly started avoiding.
Declining invitations, dreading the phone, sitting near the exit, steering around certain places, people, or situations. Social settings, specific fears, or anything unpredictable can start to feel like too much — and your world slowly gets smaller.
Nights you can't switch off.
Lying awake with a spinning mind, waking at 3 a.m. to a spiral of worry, or feeling exhausted but wired. Sleep and anxiety feed each other.
Panic that seems to come from nowhere.
A sudden surge of fear, a racing heart, dizziness, or the sense that something is very wrong. Panic attacks can be frightening — and the fear of the next one can become its own weight.
Being "on" all the time.
A low hum of dread, irritability, trouble concentrating, snapping at people you love, or never quite being able to relax even when nothing is wrong.
Anxiety can feel permanent — like it’s simply who you are. It isn’t. With the right support, the racing mind can quiet, the body can settle, and the situations you’ve been avoiding can start to feel manageable again. Most people are surprised by how much can change.
How therapy helps
Together, you and Lori look at what’s fueling the anxiety — the thoughts, the patterns, and sometimes the past experiences underneath it — and build practical tools to change it. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to shift anxious thinking, EFT to calm the body’s stress response, and EMDR — a powerful, evidence-based approach — for anxiety rooted in past events or specific fears and phobias. It’s a whole-person, holistic approach rather than a one-size-fits-all script.
You can expect support with:
- Quieting racing thoughts and constant worry
- Calming the physical symptoms of anxiety
- Facing avoided situations at a pace that feels safe
- Understanding and interrupting panic attacks
- Sleeping better and focusing more clearly
- Getting to the root of long-standing or trauma-related anxiety
