It is not uncommon for vocational rehabiliation to only concern itself with the work restrictions specified by the treating doctor. If you have work restrictions (due to stress and anxiety), you would have to bring them to the doctor's attention and the doctor would have to incorporate them as part of your work restrictions. The vocational counselor will only follow the work restrictions set by the doctor. Also, the problems you specified (stress and anxiety) are difficult to measure so that may be why the doctor left them out of your work restrictions.
