Does this sound familiar?

When worry or low mood
runs the day.

Anxiety and depression are common, treatable, and nothing to be embarrassed about. They are also exhausting to manage alone.

✦

Your mind races at night and replays conversations you've already had.

✦

Things you used to enjoy feel like effort, or feel like nothing at all.

✦

You cancel plans, then feel worse about cancelling them.

✦

Physical signs: tight chest, headaches, appetite or sleep changes.

✦

You're irritable with the people you care about most.

✦

You manage to function all day, then have nothing left when you get home.

Inside the work

From coping
to changing.

Sessions focus on understanding the cycle and interrupting it with skills that fit your actual life.

01

Name the cycle

You'll learn how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors feed each other, and where that loop can realistically be broken.

02

Practice the skill

CBT, mindfulness, and grounding strategies are practiced in session so they're available when you need them.

03

Make it stick

Skills get repeated between sessions until they stop feeling like homework and start feeling like habit.

In her words
My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and individualized. I use evidence-based approaches such as CBT while focusing on practical coping skills that can be applied to everyday life.
Dashon McNelley, LPC · Founder, NeuroAxis Counseling
Approaches used

Many people make meaningful progress with therapy alone. NeuroAxis Counseling does not prescribe medication, and will coordinate respectfully if you also see a prescriber.
It varies. Many people leave the first few sessions with at least one concrete skill to try, while deeper change builds over time.
Yes. Children, adolescents, and adults are all seen, with the approach adapted to age and developmental needs.
That's worth bringing up in the first session. What was and wasn't helpful shapes how your care is built this time.
Many people find video sessions work well for anxiety and depression. Telehealth is available anywhere in Alabama.
