Individual Counseling for Anxiety Disorders in North Charleston SC

If you’re here, maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or constantly battling worry that won’t let up. Anxiety can feel like a never-ending loop of overthinking, sleepless nights, and second-guessing everything, from what you said in a meeting to how you show up in relationships. It’s exhausting.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. I offer individual counseling for anxiety disorders in North Charleston SC, designed to help you break free from the constant noise in your mind and find a sense of peace again.

Hi, I’m Holly Hansen. I’m Here to Help You Feel Like Yourself Again

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPCS), and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC). With a Master of Science in Clinical Counseling, I’ve spent over a decade helping individuals like you navigate the overwhelming experience of anxiety and reclaim their lives.

My approach is compassionate, client-centered, and evidence-based. I believe healing happens through genuine connection and trust. I bring warmth, curiosity, and nonjudgmental support into every session. You don’t have to have all the answers before you come in. We’ll figure things out together.

At Cognizant Counseling Center, I provide a safe space where you can breathe, speak freely, and begin to untangle the knots anxiety has tied within you.

What Anxiety Looks Like in Daily Life

Anxiety shows up in so many ways. Maybe it’s overthinking every decision, replaying conversations in your head, or avoiding people and places that make your heart race. For some, it’s physical: tightness in your chest, racing heart, restlessness, or feeling on edge all the time.

You might feel like you’re just “high-strung” or “bad at coping,” but anxiety disorders are very real and very treatable. In my North Charleston-based counseling sessions, we’ll work together to identify the root causes of your anxiety and develop personalized strategies that actually help.

What to Expect from Therapy

In our work together, we’ll explore what’s fueling your anxiety such as past experiences, core beliefs, and unprocessed emotions, and build tools to help you manage it. I use a blend of therapeutic approaches based on your needs, including:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge unhelpful thought patterns
Hypnotherapy
Mindfulness techniques to ground you in the present moment
Solution-Focused strategies for making practical changes in your day-to-day life

Every session is tailored to you. We’ll move at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Over time, you’ll start to notice subtle shifts like less panic, better sleep, more confidence in your decisions, and the return of a version of yourself you may have forgotten was still there.

What Can Change Through Counseling

Healing from anxiety doesn’t mean becoming someone else. It means becoming more you. Therapy can help you:

Respond instead of react
Set boundaries without guilt
Let go of perfectionism
Quiet the constant self-criticism
Sleep better and breathe easier
Feel more present with the people you care about

If you’re in or near North Charleston, my individual counseling sessions offer a confidential, supportive space to do this work. Anxiety doesn’t have to rule your life, and you don’t have to manage it alone.
