Libby Ochoa, LCMHC
You might spend your days keeping up appearances at work, only to collapse at home feeling completely spent, stuck in your head, or pulling away from the people you care about. When that happens, it is easy to start blaming yourself and assume you are just lazy or bad at managing life.
Feeling overwhelmed isn’t a character flaw. It just means constant stress, anxiety, or burnout have caught up with you.
I help adults figure out what is actually driving those feelings and build simple, practical ways to handle things differently.

What We Can Work On Together
Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling exhausted from work stress, stuck in their own head, or like they’re just failing to keep up.
In our work together, we might unpack challenges like:
Feeling “lazy” when you’re actually completely overwhelmed
Feeling drained and unable to leave work stress at work
Replaying conversations and stuck in spiraling thought loops
Trying to make sense of a breakup or lost relationship
Feeling scattered, disorganized, and overwhelmed
Let’s Take the Next Step – Together!
You’ve spent so much time showing up for everyone else. Therapy can be a place where you feel supported, too.
How I Help
We’ll look at the patterns in your life to figure out why you’re feeling stuck, and build simple, practical ways to help you handle things differently.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Spotting the unfair assumptions you make about yourself, like calling yourself “lazy” when you’re overwhelmed, so you can change how you react.
ADHD & Executive Function Support
Building realistic daily systems for focus, time blindness, and job burnout when your brain feels completely scattered.
Pattern & Root Cause Work
Connecting your current work and relationship stress to older habits so we fix the real driver instead of just managing symptoms.
Exposure Therapy
A way to break down panic, intrusive thoughts, and OCD rituals step by step, so your brain stops treating false alarms like real emergencies.
