Many people with anxiety appear like they have everything together.

They show up to work.
They meet responsibilities.
They support everyone else.

From the outside, they may seem calm, capable, and dependable.

But internally, they may be dealing with constant worry, overthinking, and exhaustion.

This is often called high-functioning anxiety.

People experiencing it may feel like they always need to stay productive, handle everything themselves, and keep going even when they feel overwhelmed.

Over time, carrying that level of pressure can be incredibly draining.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep carrying it by yourself.

Therapy sessions can be a place to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin finding healthier ways to cope. I offer many coping strategies and tools to help. Check out my website: www.ntbeardslee.com to learn more.

Have you ever heard the term high-functioning anxiety before?

People sometimes ask me how I became a therapist.

The truth is, it wasn’t the path I originally planned.

There was a time in my life when I was navigating uncertainty about my career and trying to figure out what direction I was meant to take. During that time, I was working with a therapist who saw something in me that I hadn’t yet seen in myself.

One day they suggested that I might have the qualities to become a therapist.

At first, I was surprised by the idea. But the more I reflected on it, the more it began to resonate with me.

That conversation eventually led me down a path that has become deeply meaningful. Today, I have the privilege of sitting with people as they navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, difficult relationships, and major life transitions.

Therapy is a space where people can slow down, feel understood, and begin to make sense of the experiences they’ve been carrying.

Being able to offer that kind of support is something I’m incredibly grateful for.

Sometimes the right path finds us in unexpected ways.

Hello and welcome! I'm Nicole Turner Beardslee LIMHP LPC LADC. 🌿

I’m a Licensed Independent Mental Health Professional based in Omaha, Nebraska, and I work with adults who are navigating some of life’s most difficult seasons.

Many of the people I work with are dealing with anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, or major life transitions. Others come to therapy because they are struggling with complicated family relationships, low self-esteem, or learning how to set healthier boundaries.

Therapy can also be a place for professionals — including other therapists — to have a supportive and confidential space to process their own experiences.

My approach is warm, thoughtful, and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can slow down, reflect, and begin to understand yourself with more clarity and compassion.

Seeking support takes courage, and you don’t have to figure everything out alone.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, therapy can help.

If this resonates with you, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey. 🤍Check out my website: www.ntbeardslee.com for more information about my services!

Many people are feeling overwhelmed by the news and uncertainty in the world right now.

If you’ve noticed your anxiety increasing, difficulty sleeping, or feeling constantly on edge — you’re not alone.

Our brains are wired to respond to perceived threats, and constant exposure to stressful information can keep us stuck in a cycle of worry.

If anxiety about current events is affecting your daily life, therapy can help you develop tools to manage stress and feel more grounded. Reach out to NTB Counseling Services for more information: wwwntbeardslee.com

Your anxiety makes sense.

When the world feels unpredictable, our brains go into threat-detection mode.
Constant exposure to distressing news can keep your nervous system on high alert.

Anxiety in response to uncertainty is a normal human reaction. Limit the news cycle

Staying informed is helpful.
Constant updates are not.

Try:
• Checking the news once or twice a day
• Avoiding doom-scrolling before bed
• Turning off breaking news alerts
Focus on what you CAN control

You cannot control global events.
But you can control:

• Your daily routine
• Your boundaries with media
• How you care for your body and mind
• How you show up for the people around you. When anxiety rises, bring your body back to the present:

• Slow deep breathing
• Go for a short walk
• Stretch your body
• Step outside for fresh airTalk about what you’re feeling

You don’t have to carry it alone.

Talking with:
• Friends
• Family
• A therapist

can help you process uncertainty and feel more grounded. Message NTB Counseling Services for more information: www.ntbeardslee.com

Lately I’ve been thinking about something many of us forget:
mental health isn’t only about big breakthroughs… it’s about small daily resets. 🌿

A few things that help me reset:
✨ Taking a quiet walk without my phone
✨ Drinking my coffee slowly instead of rushing
✨ Saying “no” when my energy is low
✨ Reminding myself that rest is productive too

You don’t have to fix everything today.
Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is pause, breathe, and start again tomorrow.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed lately, you’re not alone. 💛

What’s one small thing that helps you reset? Feel free to message for more information about our services NTB Counseling Services www.ntbeardslee.com

Honestly, achieving goals isn’t a straight line to success. There can be days when anxiety, burnout, imposter syndrome is louder the passion to keep goung. Everyone faces their own struggles.

What I learned? Overcoming obstacles isn't about ignoring the pain, or white knuckling your way through life. It’s about nurturing yourself through it. Feel afraid, feel tired, feel overwhelmed. Then take that one tiny step even when your mind is screaming "stay in bed." Or ‘I can’t do it’.
If you are facing a massive roadblock right now, I want you to know you aren’t alone. You are stronger than you feel. Keep going. 💡Reach out to NTB Counseling Service to begin your healing journey. www.ntbeardslee.com
