For Pembroke Pines parents, professionals, and students, when the body's alarm system keeps firing without a real fire, therapy can help it learn what's safe again. In-person at the Weston office · Telehealth across Florida · English / Español [Contact Maria](/contact) [About anxiety therapy](/anxiety-therapy) ![Sunlit therapy room with a warm linen couch, anxiety therapy for Pembroke Pines residents with Maria Van Thienen, LMFT](/assets/anxiety-couples-KOeHu1Mw.jpg) Pembroke Pines, FL ## About working with clients from _Pembroke Pines_. Pembroke Pines carries the full weight of suburban-family life: two-career households, kids in three different schools, aging parents close by, financial pressure under the surface. Anxiety here often shows up as tight sleep, short fuses with the people you love most, or a chest that won't quite unclench during the drop-off line. Maria's office is about 15 minutes northwest via Pines Boulevard. Many Pembroke Pines clients come in person on a weekday evening; others prefer secure telehealth so they can squeeze a session into a lunch hour or naptime. Both formats produce real work. The approach combines CBT, somatic skills, and mindfulness, anxiety is treated where it actually lives, not only where it's described. You'll leave with practical tools your body can reach for in real moments. When trauma is the engine underneath, EMDR can be added. Bilingual throughout (English / Español), which matters in a city this multilingual. Adults, teens, and children are welcome. What we work on ## The shape of the _work_. - Generalized anxiety and worry - Panic and physical symptoms - Social anxiety - Sleep loss and overthinking - Perfectionism and overwhelm - Health anxiety - Depression that travels with anxiety - Teens and school-age children Modality ## CBT + somatic + mindfulness. Anxiety is approached on every level it lives, thought, body, and behavior. You'll leave with tools, not only insight. When deeper material drives the spiral, EMDR can be folded in.
