About Keith
Keith McCann is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. He works with people facing trauma, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and panic-related concerns. He emphasizes a straightforward, respectful approach and encourages people to take the first step toward change.
Keith believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths into the room. He uses that perspective to build practical steps people can try between sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now, what gets in the way, and small experiments to reduce symptoms and increase confidence.
Sessions are direct and goal-oriented, with time spent teaching skills and practicing them together. He often helps people notice patterns that fuel panic and anxiety, then works with them to try different responses. The aim is to make daily life more manageable rather than chase perfection.
Over his career Keith has seen many kinds of stress and mood challenges. He frames progress as steady effort and learning rather than quick fixes. His tone is supportive but pragmatic, asking people what matters and then helping them take steps toward those priorities.
If you are considering therapy, Keith invites you to begin with a short matching questionnaire to find a scheduling time that fits your needs.
Approaches that help with anxiety and panic
Keith uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and pattern change. One common approach helps people learn to notice bodily and thought patterns that trigger panic and then practice alternative responses to reduce episode intensity. This method is useful for panic attacks and social anxiety because it targets immediate reactions and builds coping skills.Another approach emphasizes gradual exposure to feared situations in small steps. By breaking feared activities into manageable parts and rehearsing them, people can expand what they feel able to do. This is often paired with breathing and grounding practices to manage moments of high arousal.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That plan can change over time based on what proves most helpful.
