Stress Management Worksheets

The Stress Management Worksheet can be used anytime a client faces particular difficulties managing stress levels and sources. It is commonly used for clients who have anxiety and depression, where stress is a reoccurring symptom. However, it can be used for any client facing hardship and adversity and needs support to move forward.

The mental health practitioner and client should create the most effective action plan. Although the client must agree to all action plan steps and should have a strong hand in what is listed, it is essential that the mental health practitioner guides the steps and sees value in them. It should be a collaborative effort to allow for progress and significant improvements in the client's day-to-day functioning.

The time required to complete a Stress Management Worksheet depends on the individual's reflection process. On average, it takes 10 to 30 minutes, but deeper self-exploration may take longer.
