Cultivate patience and self control.

Does your anger feel like it’s controlling you rather than the other way around? Anger can be overwhelming, and when it builds up, it can lead to damaged relationships, poor decisions, and deep emotional pain. If anger has become a regular response to stress, frustration, or personal challenges, you are not alone.

At Tempest Counseling, we offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Somatic Therapy, and Mindfulness practices to help you identify triggers, regulate emotions, and respond calmly, even in the most challenging situations.

How Anger Management Counseling Works

Our anger management program at Tempest Counseling begins with an assessment of your unique triggers, emotional responses, and the underlying causes of your anger. Then, we guide you through a process that helps you take charge of your emotions and find healthier outlets for your anger:

  1. Identify Triggers: Through CBT, we help you recognize the patterns and triggers that lead to anger. Understanding these triggers is the first step toward managing your emotions more effectively.
  2. Body Awareness: Using somatic therapy techniques, you’ll become more aware of how anger affects your body. We teach you methods to release pent-up tension and reduce the intensity of emotional responses.
  3. Mindfulness Practices: Mindfulness helps you stay grounded during stressful moments. By focusing on being present, you can respond to situations thoughtfully rather than reacting impulsively.
  4. Practical Strategies: Each session equips you with real-world strategies for handling frustrating situations, communicating assertively, and diffusing potential anger triggers before they escalate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?

Absolutely, research has consistently shown that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. In fact, some clients report they find it more comfortable to express themselves from their own private space.

How long will therapy take to see results?

The duration of therapy varies depending on individual needs and progress. 91% of clients start to notice improvements within the first 30 days, but lasting change typically requires ongoing work over several months.

What can I expect in a therapy session?

In therapy, you can expect a safe and non-judgmental environment where you can openly discuss your experiences. Your therapist will use a combination of neuropsychology, somatic therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy to address your unique needs and promote healing.

How do I know if my therapist is a good fit?

Ensuring that your therapist is a good fit is crucial for effective therapy. At Tempest Counseling, we offer a complimentary consultation to help you determine if our therapists align with your needs and comfort level. During this session, you can discuss your concerns, ask questions, and get a feel for our approach. We are committed to your well-being, and if at any point you feel that your therapist is not the right fit, we are more than willing to connect you with another therapist who may better suit your needs.

Will my insurance cover online therapy?

We accept many types of insurance, including Aetna, Optum, United, Cigna, Oscar, and Oxford. If your insurance is out of network, ask about our fee reduction program that works with your out of network benefits to reduce your out of pocket costs by up to 80%.

Thomas Hanna is an amazing therapist. Truly, one of the best ones I have ever had. I fought to have him as my therapist because it was imperative that I had someone who was polyamorous just like me. He also gave amazing tips for reading materials on poly, attachment theories, and helped me cope with my anxiety and depression. He also has a cute cockerspaniel named Winnie who provided an abundance of serotonin each time she was present. If you want a therapist who will make you feel seen, heard, give you a loving but gentle sarcastic call out each time you do a "silly", and a puppy who will make you smile, choose Thomas. Thank you. Thank you for literally setting me free.

I am so deeply grateful for the work we've done together over the last 1.5 years, Thomas! You have been a HUGE gift and an incredibly significantly part of my healing team that got me through my miscarriages, fertility journey, subsequent marriage challenges and family dynamics I have needed to work through in this season. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! Having a therapist who personally understand deconstruction was a game-changer for me! I cannot fully express my gratitude for your neutral, safe support as I processed through my faith, my release of of religious norms and found new mooring in this season. Thank you for doing what you do!

Thomas Hanna is a lifesaver, but he is way too humble to take any credit for it. I saw him weekly for debilitating anxiety, and now I am living life to the fullest thanks to him. He gave me tools to work with that actually helped. He made me see things from a view that I never would've seen before. He helped me understand my anxiety and not be afraid of it. He is the easiest person to talk to and open up to. Choosing him as a therapist was one of the best decisions I have ever made, and I am forever grateful for him.

Thomas is the definition of a 11/10 therapist. He's a pleasure to talk to every single time. In our sessions, he always genuinely listens, and asks questions that had me re-consider my whole way of thinking.

Throughout our months working together, he's given me incredible points of view and mental models to consider situations from different angles. In doing so, he has changed my life.

It's been a pleasure working with you, Thomas!
