Positive changes are coming, I need a counselor/therapist to shepherd me through the process

Good morning all.  Spring is in the air and change is inevitable.  

After much thought, I have decided to rearrange a few things in my work and family life.  It is all positive, I have everyone's support and the exciting new changes will likely result in all sorts of personal growth (or at least an adventure).  On the outside I am shouting "Let's do this!" but on the inside I am a nervous wreck.  It's just who I am and the way that I am wired. 

I am a grown woman with kids and a husband.  I live/work in a fast-paced world so I am  looking for a no-nonsense, efficient counselor. I have no desire to go through weeks of talk therapy getting to the root of my anxiety, it is simply at given at this point.  I am at peace with my Nervous Nelly nature and I recognize that it is often a gift.  I will, however, gladly go through weeks of trial and error attempts at stress-busting strategies so that I can stay focused and on an even keel during these transitions.

Please send me a note, or list a name here, if you know of anyone you think could help me with this.  I think the guidance I am looking for boils down to stress-management and breaking a few bad habits (and perhaps creating a few good new ones.) Thank you!

You may want to search the archives for cognitive behavior therapy/CBT, since it sounds (to my layman's ear) like what you are discussing, and I know there are a few threads with detailed recommendations.

Have you thought about a life coach instead of a therapist....Keep you on task and on target and work with you through the fear?
