Counseling Resources for Procrastination, Anxiety, Perfectionism, ADHD & More

 

A curated collection for brains that want clarity, relief, and real support.

Disclaimer

This page is your personal treasure chest of resources that have supported countless

people navigating overwhelm, procrastination, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, perfectionism,

burnout, body image struggles, and “what-am-I-doing-with-my-life?” spirals.

Think TED Talks, books, insights, and perspectives that help you connect dots, feel seen,

and try new strategies, not a replacement for therapy, but a companion to it.

Zero Pressure Zone

You do not have to read, watch, or purchase anything listed here to be in therapy

with me.

You also don’t have to pretend you read any of it this isn’t school and I’m not grading

you.

These resources are here to provide insights, strategies and perspectives if you want

them, nothing more.

 

It’s important to recognize that while self-help books and videos can offer valuable

insights and guidance, they should not be seen as a replacement for professional

treatment from licensed mental health providers. While these resources can provide

support, spark growth, encourage insight and inspiration, they may not address your

specific needs or circumstances. Seeking therapy or counseling with a qualified

professional can provide personalized support, a safe space for exploration, and

evidence-based interventions tailored specifically to you. They can’t assess your needs,

understand your history, or tailor strategies to your personality, patterns, or nervous

system. Therapy with a licensed provider can offer the expertise and guidance necessary

to navigate through challenges and promote lasting change. Remember, reaching out

to a licensed professional is a proactive step towards your well-being and can provide

you with the comprehensive support you deserve. I provide evidence-based

interventions, clinical expertise, and individualized support designed specifically for

you: your goals, your experiences, your brain, your life.

Use these resources as supplements, not substitutes.

Read cover-to-cover or skim. Highlight or ignore. Listen on Audible during laundry.

Watch a TED Talk while cooking. Bring questions to therapy. Bring frustrations. Bring the

“I tried this and hated it.”

There is no wrong way, just your way.

And I’ll help you make sense of whatever you’re exploring, feeling, or trying along the

way.

Please Use Discernment

Some books use strong or explicit language. Some opinions won’t resonate. Some

suggestions may not fit your values or lived experiences.

You are encouraged to:

✔ Think critically
✔ Research authors
✔ Reflect on what aligns with your goals
✔ Leave what doesn’t feel right
✔ Bring anything to session if you want help applying it

Dr. Nichole Vincent and Life in Progress Psychological Services, PLLC maintain a

professional stance of not endorsing or agreeing with all ideas contained within

and videos for many clients. It’s essential to approach any self-help books, videos, or

other resources with a critical mindset and personal discernment. Different resources

may present diverse perspectives, and it’s up to you to evaluate and determine what

aligns with your values, beliefs, and therapeutic goals. As a licensed professional, Dr.

Nichole Vincent and Life in Progress Psychological Services, PLLC can provide
