Overcome Your Addiction With Professional Counseling
“My addiction is destroying my life.”
“I keep telling myself this is the last time… but I don’t believe it anymore.”
“I don’t think people would recognize me if they knew how much I struggle with this.”
“I don’t trust myself anymore.”
“When you have an addiction, your best efforts alone aren’t enough to break the cycle. It takes support, accountability, and strategy to find freedom. I’ve been through the process myself with pornography, and I’ve now been free for over five years. Book a free first session and let’s talk.”
- Luke Hollingshead MA, LPCC, NCC
Principles of Therapy for Regulating Emotions
How does it work? Here are some core concepts:
Understand the Cycle
Learn to recognize the patterns of triggers, urges, use, and aftermath so you can begin to interrupt the cycle with greater awareness.
Find the Root
Explore the underlying emotions, experiences, or unmet needs that may be driving the behavior with curiosity and compassion.
Build Healthy Rhythms
Create consistent routines that support stability, including sleep, nutrition, movement, and meaningful daily structure.
Establish a Support System
Surround yourself with people and resources that offer accountability, encouragement, and understanding throughout the recovery process.
Know Your “Why”
Clarify your personal reasons for change so you have a steady source of motivation during difficult moments.
What techniques do you use?
I utilize many modalities to meet the needs of my clients, but here are my primary techniques!
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy gives you a firm understanding of how your mind and emotions work, plus techniques for managing them.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps you live a fulfilling life through your values and accept what you cannot change.
Existential Therapy
Existential Therapy deals with your conception of people, the universe, and yourself to increase life satisfaction and fearlessness.
What populations do you serve?
I serve a wide range of populations, but here are some that I tend to be a good fit with.
Gen Z (18-29)
New technology has radically changed the world, forcing Gen Z to adapt to new problems that previous generations never had to face.
Millennials (30-45)
Being a Millennial myself, I understand the societal and generational problems that many of these men face.
Teenagers (13-17)
Finding their identity, I frequently challenge teens to think about what they want from their life and bear personal responsibility.
Christians
Being a Christian myself, I frequently incorporate faith and spirituality into therapy for clients who request it. However I serve clients from all backgrounds!
Gamers & Geeks
As a massive nerd and storyteller, I often utilize media references and metaphors to help clients understand concepts!
