Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Preventive Mental Health care with Dr. Anabelle Coppola:

What is a Clinical Psychologist, and how can they help me?

A clinical psychologist is a doctoral-level expert in mental and emotional health. They provide evidence-based therapy to help you develop coping strategies, build resilience, and prevent life's challenges from becoming mental health crises.

What is the difference between a Psychologist and a Psychiatrist?

Psychologists, like Dr. Coppola, hold a PhD or PsyD and specialize in psychotherapy and psychological testing. Psychiatrists, on the other hand, are medical doctors (MD or DO) who can prescribe medication and also provide therapy. Often, psychologists and psychiatrists work together as part of a comprehensive treatment team.

Do I need to have a serious mental illness to see a psychologist?

No. Seeing a psychologist like Dr. Coppola is beneficial for everyone, not just those with serious mental illness. Therapy helps manage everyday stress, improve relationships, navigate life transitions, and build skills to prevent more serious issues.

What is the difference between a panic attack and an anxiety attack?

Panic attacks are sudden, intense surges of fear with physical symptoms, often unexpected. Anxiety attacks, on the other hand, are typically a gradual build-up of worry in response to a specific stressor, and are generally less intense.

How can couples counseling or family therapy help prevent problems?

Couples and family therapy provide a safe space to improve communication, learn conflict-resolution skills, and navigate life transitions together. This investment strengthens bonds and helps prevent future relationship challenges.

What is mindfulness and how is it used in therapy?

Mindfulness is paying attention to the present moment without judgment. In therapy, it's used as a tool to reduce stress, manage difficult emotions, and prevent negative thought patterns.

Can therapy help me improve my sleep?

Yes, therapy can significantly improve sleep. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a highly effective, drug-free treatment. Dr. Coppola can teach you strategies to restructure your sleep habits and challenge anxious thoughts that prevent restful sleep.

How can a psychologist help my child or teenager?

Dr. Coppola provides a supportive space for children and teenagers to navigate challenges, such as anxiety, behavioral problems, and social skills. She equips them with tools to address these issues proactively and prevent them from impacting their long-term development.
