Siobhan Strickhart, LPC Psychotherapy & Counseling

Siobhan Strickhart, LPC Psychotherapy & Counseling I work with adults who’ve spent a long time being the “strong one”—the helper, the overthinker, the one who keeps it all together even when it’s hard.

linktr.ee/insessionwithsiobhan If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place. My style is real, supportive, and trauma-informed. I use EMDR, DBT, and attachment-focused therapy—but more than that, I’ll actually show up and be in it with you. No

blank stares or therapist clichés here. I’m the kind of therapist who gets curious, asks the hard questions gently, and helps you explore the stuff you’ve maybe never said out loud. You don’t need to have it all figured out to start. Whether you’re ready to dig in or just testing the waters, there’s space for you here. Therapy with me isn’t about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all advice. It’s about helping you get back to you—in a way that feels doable, honest, and grounded in who you are. And above all, I’ll meet you as a real human—with warmth, care, and a deep belief that healing is possible, even if it hasn’t felt that way before.

A little update!

I’m now licensed in Connecticut 🤍

Which means I’m seeing clients virtually in NJ, PA, and CT.

If you’re someone who looks like you have it all together but feels overwhelmed underneath… this is the work I do every day with clients.

Reach out through the link in my bio.

Feel free to share this with someone in CT who’s been looking for a therapist.

“Getting to know yourself” sounds simple… until you try.

Because it means noticing:
– what you feel (instead of pushing it away)
– what you need (instead of what you should need)
– who you are when you’re not performing for everyone else

And that can feel… uncomfortable.

You're not becoming someone new—
just finally meeting the version of you that’s been there all along.

You don’t have to earn your worth by doing more.

You showed up.
You tried.
You got through the hard moments (even the quiet ones no one saw).

That counts.

In a world that keeps moving the bar, let this be your reminder:
You already did enough today.

Save this for the days your mind tells you otherwise.

The workshop is back!
Now virtual (in-person date coming soon).

You don’t struggle with boundaries…
You struggle with what happens after you set them.

The anxiety.
The guilt.
The “should I take that back?” spiral.

That’s what we’re actually working on.

In this live workshop, you’ll learn how to:
– Stay steady after saying no
– Stop over-explaining
– Understand your nervous system (so you stop blaming yourself)
– Feel more confident in your decisions

A lot of what you call “overthinking,” “people-pleasing,” or “shutting down”
are actually nervous system responses that made sense at one point.

But if they’re leaving you feeling stuck, disconnected, or exhausted…
it might be time to explore what’s underneath.

This is the work we do in therapy—slowly, safely, and without overwhelm.

If you’ve been thinking about starting, this is your sign.

Anxiety doesn’t always look the way people expect it to.

It’s not always panic attacks or something you can clearly point to.

Sometimes it’s:
constantly thinking
feeling on edge
struggling to fully relax
even when everything seems “fine”

A lot of the people I work with are high-functioning.

They’re managing their lives, showing up for others, and doing what needs to get done…

…but internally, it feels like their mind never shuts off.

And that’s exhausting.

This kind of anxiety is often rooted in how your nervous system learned to stay alert—especially if you grew up needing to be aware, responsible, or emotionally attuned to others.

It makes sense.

And it’s also something you can learn to work with, rather than feel controlled by.

Save this for when your mind won’t slow down
or share it with someone who might need it.

Feeling overwhelmed?
Here are 6 practical mindfulness techniques to help you manage anxiety rooted in childhood experiences.

1️⃣ Breathe deeply to find your calm. Start by inhaling for four counts, holding for four, and exhaling for four. It’s all about grounding yourself in the moment.

2️⃣ Release tension with a body scan. Close your eyes and bring awareness to each part of your body from your toes to your head. Let go of any tension you notice.

3️⃣ Connect with your senses using the 5-4-3-2-1 technique. Identify 5 things you can see, 4 things you can feel, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste. This simple exercise will help you reconnect with your surroundings.

4️⃣ Journaling can bring clarity to your thoughts. Spend a few minutes writing down how you feel, without judgment. It’s a great way to create distance from overwhelming emotions.

5️⃣ Understand your past to navigate your stress. Recognizing how your childhood experiences shape your responses today can empower you to manage anxiety more effectively.

6️⃣ Seek support. If you’re struggling, remember that you don’t have to go through this alone.

Let's connect today and explore how therapy can help you on your healing journey!

Feel it. Name it. Let it move through you.

Your emotions aren’t problems to fix—they’re signals to understand. The more gently you meet them, the easier they pass.

Notice → Acknowledge → Accept → (Sometimes) Act → Let go.

Radical Acceptance is one of my favorite DBT skills to teach and one of the hardest to fully wrap your head around.

Most people hear “radical acceptance” and immediately think…
“So I just have to be okay with it?”

No. 100% No!

Radical acceptance isn’t about liking what happened.
It’s not about approving of it.
And it’s definitely not about giving up.

It’s about acknowledging reality as it is
so you can stop fighting what you can’t change and start deciding what comes next.

Many times, suffering doesn’t come from the situation itself, but from the part of you that keeps saying:
“this shouldn’t have happened.”

And that internal resistance?
It keeps you stuck in the loop.

Radical acceptance sounds more like:
“I don’t like this… but this is where I am right now.”
“This hurts… and I can get through it.”
“I can’t change this part, but I can choose what happens next.”

This is a skill we build in therapy. Slowly, safely, and without forcing it.

Because acceptance isn’t something you jump into.
It’s something you learn how to hold.

Save this for when your mind starts fighting reality.
