## Posts
- [You Make Complete Sense](https://richmondanxiety.com/you-make-complete-sense/): He was a 35-year-old attorney. First therapy session ever. You could see the fear in his eyes. He leaned in like we were about to trade government secrets. 

## Pages
- [FAQs](https://richmondanxiety.com/frequently-asked-questions/): We offer walk-and-talk sessions along the James River, with Parke meeting at Robious Landing and Daniel and Devin at Pony Pasture. We also offer telehealth through SimplePractice, a HIPAA-compliant platform accessible from anywhere in Virginia. Phone sessions are available for clients who prefer to move while they talk.
- [Addiction Therapy](https://richmondanxiety.com/counseling-for-addictions/): Most addictions start as a way to take the edge off. A drink to loosen up. A hit to relax. A gambling session to escape. A porn binge to numb out. It works for a while. Until it doesn’t.
- [Depression Therapy](https://richmondanxiety.com/therapy-for-depression/): For men, depression doesn’t always look like sadness. It can show up as irritability, a short fuse, frustration, restlessness, or shutting down. You get quieter. You pull back. You stop enjoying the things that used to help you feel like you. You feel enraged by small things. Work becomes heavier. Home becomes harder. Joy feels out of reach. Hopelessness starts to set in.
- [Communication Skills](https://richmondanxiety.com/communication-coaching/): Most of the men we work with struggle with either being too passive or too aggressive. And it makes sense. No one ever taught us how to communicate. Which is insane when you think about it, because communication is what makes us human. It is the basis of every relationship we have, personal and professional.
- [Anxiety Therapy](https://richmondanxiety.com/anxiety-therapy/): If you’re like most guys we see, anxiety doesn’t hit all at once. It builds quietly in the late-night overthinking, the restless mornings, the jaw that never unclenches. You’ve probably told yourself to calm down or push through. Maybe you’ve read the books, tried the breathing apps, even doubled down on working harder to stay ahead of it all.
- [Anger Therapy](https://richmondanxiety.com/anger-management/): Anger is a fire. It is a conditioned pattern fueled by the old ways you learned to see yourself, other people, and the world. Then the stories start. The arguments in your head. The justifications for why you are right and they are wrong. All of it begins to dump gasoline on the fire.
- [Self-Esteem Therapy](https://richmondanxiety.com/self-esteem-therapy/): It hits like a gut punch when it finally dawns on you: “Oh shit, I’m not laid back at all. I’m a pushover.”
- [Social Anxiety Therapy](https://richmondanxiety.com/social-anxiety-disorder-treatment/): “What in the hell is wrong with me?” That is the line most men repeat in their heads when social anxiety hits.
- [Online Therapy](https://richmondanxiety.com/online-therapy/): Most of the men we work with are stretched thin. Work, family, pressure, expectations. Adding one more thing to your plate can feel impossible. That is why online therapy exists. It removes everything that gets in the way of actually getting help.
- [Walk and Talk Therapy](https://richmondanxiety.com/walk-and-talk-therapy/): Long before offices and schedules, men solved problems side by side. Hunting parties, scouting trips, long walks between camps. They talked about the same things guys wrestle with today: fear, responsibility, relationships, purpose, the weight of being needed by everyone around them.
- [Stress and Burnout Therapy](https://richmondanxiety.com/therapy-for-burnout-and-stress/): Burnout doesn’t hit all at once. It sneaks up on you. One day you’re just tired. Then you’re exhausted. Then you’re staring at your computer wondering why you feel nothing at all.
- [Testimonials](https://richmondanxiety.com/testimonials/): “I’ve learned how to identify what I’m actually feeling, why I’m feeling it, and what the real need is underneath it.”
- [The Newsletter](https://richmondanxiety.com/the-newsletter/): One idea. Two minutes to read. Once a month.
- [The Book](https://richmondanxiety.com/the-book/): Dude, Breathe is a book in progress. It’s written for the everyday guy. It consists of short, direct chapters that deal with the stuff men struggle with but rarely say out loud. Purpose. Connection. Anxiety. Mild addictions. Lacking joy. Feeling overstimulated and worn down by modern life.
- [Daniel Owen](https://richmondanxiety.com/daniel-owen/): A lot of the guys I work with are doing “fine” on the outside. They’re capable, thoughtful, and showing up for work and life. But internally, something feels off. Anxious. Flat. Disconnected. Or just hard to put into words.
- [Our Pricing](https://richmondanxiety.com/our-pricing/): Starting therapy is an investment in yourself. In your mental health, your relationships, and your well-being.
- [Devin Byrne](https://richmondanxiety.com/devin-byrne/): I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia, and I work with men who feel anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed by the constant pressure to keep it together. I help guys rebuild confidence, find balance, and start enjoying life again.
- [Contact](https://richmondanxiety.com/contact/): Schedule a Free Consultation
- [What to Expect](https://richmondanxiety.com/what-to-expect/): It’s completely normal to feel anxious before starting therapy.We know the feeling. The heart racing, the palms a little sweaty, the uncertainty about how it will go.
- [About](https://richmondanxiety.com/about/): I’m a therapist in Richmond, VA who works with men who feel anxious, stressed, or burned out. Most of the guys I work with are functioning at a pretty high clip, but not feeling that great about life. Many are confused by that. After all, they’ve followed the playbook our culture handed them, but aren’t all that happy. That’s a hard realization. I’ve had it myself.
- [Home](https://richmondanxiety.com/): You’ve gotten really good at pretending. Most people don’t know how hard you are on yourself or how lost you feel.
