Anxiety Therapy Orlando: How Psychological Safety Reduces Workplace Stress

Anxiety Therapy Orlando: How Psychological Safety Reduces Workplace Stress

Written by: Lauran Hahn, LMHC

You’ve been in that meeting. The one where someone shares an idea and the room goes quiet. Not because it wasn’t helpful, but because no one wants to say the wrong thing. So they say nothing at all...

Or maybe you’ve watched a high performer stop offering feedback. A new hire holds back a question. A manager pushes through exhaustion, too afraid to ask for help.

This is what a lack of psychological safety looks like. Not drama. Not a disaster. Just… silence. Disconnection. People are protecting themselves instead of engaging. A psychologically safe workplace doesn’t mean people are always comfortable. It means they’re not afraid.

Anxiety Therapist Shares How to Become a Better Decision-Maker

Anxiety Therapist Shares How to Become a Better Decision-Maker

Written by: Lauran Hahn, LMHC

Your friends invite you out to dinner. You’re excited…it’s been too long since you’ve had a chance to catch up. But then, there’s that project waiting on your desk, the one with a deadline breathing down your neck. Part of you wants to say yes, and another part feels you should stay home and finish the work. No matter what you choose, guilt creeps in, and you feel stuck in the middle. Sound familiar?

When even simple choices like what to eat, what to wear, or whether to accept an invitation start to feel overwhelming, decision-making can turn into a source of stress rather than freedom. And when anxiety is part of the picture, those everyday moments of choice can feel paralyzing.

Anxiety Therapist Orlando: Shares Tips for Dealing with Insomnia

Anxiety Therapist Orlando: Shares Tips for Dealing with Insomnia 

Written by: Lauran Hahn, LMHC

It's 3 a.m., and you're lying in bed, calculating how many hours of sleep you'll get if you manage to fall asleep soon. You think to yourself, “If I don’t sleep, I’ll blow my presentation tomorrow. I’ll be exhausted in the morning. I haven’t slept well all week. I'll never sleep again." The longer it takes you to drift off, the more anxious you become. You get up, make a cup of tea, and read a book. When you finally go back to bed, you feel wide awake.

Stress and Anxiety Therapy Orlando: Effective Leaders Know How to Manage Their Stress

Stress and Anxiety Therapy Orlando: Effective Leaders Know How to Manage Their Stress

Written by: Lauran Hahn, LMHC

What if your most powerful leadership move… was to pause?

As a leader, you're constantly in motion, whether it’s making decisions, holding space for others, putting out fires, or navigating pressure from all sides. That kind of constant activation can take a toll. Over time, your nervous system may start to run on overdrive, your clarity clouded by anxiety, and your ability to lead intentionally begins to slip

Stress and Anxiety Therapy Orlando: The Leadership Thermostat That Sets Your Team’s Culture

Stress and Anxiety Therapy Orlando: The Leadership Thermostat That Sets Your Team’s Culture

By: Lauran Hahn, LMHC

We often think of leadership in terms of output, what’s accomplished, how quickly, how well. But underneath every decision, deadline, and meeting is something quieter but just as powerful: the energy you're bringing into the room.

Every team has an emotional tone. Sometimes it's buzzing with anxiety. Other times it’s sluggish or tense or scattered. That tone isn’t just about personalities or work stress. It often starts with you, the leader. Your nervous system sets the pace, the pressure, and the culture. That’s not a burden, it’s an opportunity.

Anxiety Therapy Orlando: How to Be Kind, Direct, and Assertive Without Guilt

Anxiety Therapy Orlando: How to Be Kind, Direct, and Assertive Without Guilt

Written by: Lauran Hahn, LMHC 

How often do you say yes when you want to say no? How often do you simply go along to keep the peace? You stay silent when a team leader dismisses the idea you’ve spent hours working on. You agree to intimacy when you're not in the mood for it. Maybe you just want to please. Perhaps you've been raised to be "nice" and avoid conflict. You're used to putting others' needs ahead of your own. Or you don't want to upset or disappoint others. Too often, you don’t ask for what you need or share your opinion because you don’t want to rock the boat, but it leaves you feeling drained, resentful, and frustrated.

Stress and Anxiety Therapist Explains The 3 Hidden Layers of Burnout

Stress and Anxiety Therapist Explains The 3 Hidden Layers of Burnout

Written by: Lauran Hahn, LMHC

You’re doing everything you can to keep up— showing up, pushing through, getting things done. But inside, it’s getting harder to care. You’re tired in a way that rest doesn’t fix. You wonder if this is just how it’s going to be now.

Or maybe you’re the one people look to for answers—the leader holding the team together, spinning plates while trying not to drop your own. If things feel heavier than they used to, it’s not just you. The way we’re working isn’t working.

And that means burnout isn’t just a personal issue. It’s a leadership and culture issue—one that can be change

Not All Therapy Is Created Equal: How to Find the Best Therapist in Orlando for You

Written by: Lauran Hahn, LMHC

If you’ve ever searched for the best therapist in Orlando and ended up overwhelmed, you’re not alone. There are so many options out there, and trying to figure out who’s the right fit can feel exhausting, especially when you’re already carrying emotional weight.

Orlando Therapist: Understanding Mood Swings

Orlando Therapist: Understanding Mood Swings

Written by: Lauran Hahn, LMHC 

You feel as if you're on an emotional rollercoaster all the time. You catch yourself switching from feeling calm to edgy in a split second. One moment you're relaxed, and the next your heart is racing, your shoulders are tense, and a sense of dread washes over you.

As an Orlando Therapist, I see all the time how trauma disrupts emotional balance and how stress and anxiety can make mood swings feel so overwhelming.

I’ll walk you through why these emotional ups and downs happen—and more importantly, what you can do to feel more grounded, steady, and in control again.
