Depression and anxiety
Many people experience some level of anxiety or depression in the course of their lives, usually during times of loss, change, or life transition. Some people suffer more severe forms, such as clinical depression, agoraphobia, or panic attacks. LifeSolutions counselors are trained to offer support and guidance in developing effective coping skills for any level of depression or anxiety. If medication or additional treatment is needed, LifeSolutions also assists in finding appropriate, affordable resources that are covered by your employer’s insurance.

Drug or alcohol abuse
LifeSolutions conducts a thorough assessment for substance abuse or addiction and coordinates treatment at the most appropriate level of care. To provide support through the initial recovery process, employees referred for drug and alcohol problems may be monitored by a counselor for up to one year.

Family members, friends, or co-workers who are concerned about an individual's drug or alcohol use also can receive confidential counseling and support through this service.

Family, marital, and other relationship concerns
LifeSolutions offers short-term individual, marital, and family counseling for all types of personal issues, including marital conflict, domestic violence, parenting concerns, elder care, children's problems at school, separation, and divorce.

Stress
Stress is a common reaction to the increased demands of work or home. Our counselors assist employees in developing an effective stress management plan that may include relaxation training, time management skills, assertiveness training, or suggestions for balancing work and family life. Educational workshops on these topics are also offered.

Work-related concerns
LifeSolutions offers employees at all levels the opportunity to develop a variety of skills needed in today's workplace. These skills include career planning, coping with change, and resolution of workplace conflicts.
