The Anxiety Therapist
I’m Kristen Jacobsen, LCPC, therapist and author of UNPACKED, helping high-achievers understand and heal the anxiety, perfectionism, and childhood patterns quietly shaping their lives.
This channel shares practical, therapist-backed tools for understanding your nervous system and shifting the patterns that keep you anxious and overwhelmed. I’ve lived with anxiety since childhood and bring both clinical expertise and personal insight to this work. I’ve spent 15+ years in the mental health field, run a private practice on Chicago’s North Shore, and teach Psychology at National Louis University.
In addition to my clinical work, I developed Anxious to Anchored, a 12-week group program that expands on these ideas and focuses on nervous system regulation, core beliefs, and self-trust for high-achieving adults who want to move beyond symptom management.
(This channel isn’t therapy. If you’re struggling, please reach out to a licensed therapist or call 911 in an emergency.)

You overfunction so no one sees the ache underneath. The anxiety, the perfectionism, the self-doubt....it's exhuasting.
It helps to have someone who has walked this path before. Knowing where to go next is what brings relief & hope.
🧠 Anxious to Anchored is a 12-week group program that was built for you.

Look what I made.
One messy, vulnerable, yet transformative manuscript… soon to be my first published book.
It’s part therapy, part truth serum, and all the things I wish someone had told me sooner.
Right now, I’m deep in the editing phase, refining, reworking, and occasionally wondering what possessed me to start this in the first place.
More to come.
