Fred:

There is so much pop-psychology gibberish out there looking to bilk people of money, it is sad. If you want to find a qualified, certified and trained counsellor, your best bet is with an MSW or above social worker. If you live in the U.S., you can go here to find one or more in your area:
https://www.socialworkers.org/register/default.asp

Like physicians, the field of social work is governed by legislative bodies and the law. This means you get quality counselling on an across-the-board scale.
People with degrees in psychology are not social workers. Social workers must take specific programs, meeting specific training criteria. The organization that governs social work in the U.S. is the National Association of Social Workers. (at the above website.)

Any further help needed, or questions, please ask away.

Best,
Jay

Sometimes people find self-help books/workbooks, etc. helpful. But this is mighty expensive. You could probably find a book at the library that provides good advice on self help for anxiety. In fact, you can probably find similar material FREE from non-profit groups on the internet. No need to spend so much cash, imo.

I have found some self help books useful. But self-help materials don't often substitute well for in person treatment, both therapy and/or meds.
