Find Calm and Control with Anger Management Therapy
Understanding Anger
Anger is a normal human emotion—a natural response to feeling hurt, threatened, frustrated, or misunderstood. But when anger becomes overwhelming, difficult to control, or leads to conflict in relationships, it can take a toll on emotional and physical well-being.
At Metro Psychotherapy & Counseling, we help adults understand the roots of their anger and develop healthier ways to express and manage it. Through a combination of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), we provide tools to help clients respond to difficult emotions with awareness and choice, rather than reaction.
Why Anger Becomes Overwhelming
Uncontrolled anger is rarely just about the moment that triggers it. Often, it’s connected to deeper feelings of fear, shame, grief, or powerlessness. Past experiences, chronic stress, and unaddressed trauma can all amplify emotional reactivity.
Common signs that anger may be interfering with your well-being include:
Frequent arguments or relationship strain
Difficulty calming down after conflicts
Impulsive decisions or regret after outbursts
Physical tension, racing thoughts, or feeling constantly on edge
Avoidance or withdrawal after emotional episodes
Therapy provides a safe space to unpack these underlying causes, identify patterns, and learn strategies to regulate emotions more effectively.
Our Therapeutic Approach
Our clinicians integrate evidence-based approaches tailored to your individual needs:
CBT helps you recognize thought patterns that fuel anger and replace them with balanced, constructive ways of thinking.
ACT builds emotional flexibility—teaching you to acknowledge difficult feelings without being controlled by them, and to act in line with your values.
DBT provides mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to reduce emotional intensity and improve communication.
Together, these modalities help clients develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and healthier responses to stress.
What You Can Expect in Therapy
In anger management therapy, you’ll work with your therapist to:
Identify personal triggers and thought patterns
