My preferred method for addressing anxiety involves a combination of client-centered therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). In client-centered therapy, I create a nonjudgmental space where clients can freely share their experiences. This approach helps them feel heard and understood. Following this, CBT techniques are used to help clients recognize and challenge any distorted beliefs that may be fueling their anxiety. This dual approach aims to promote self-awareness and empower clients to manage their anxiety more effectively.
I guide clients in utilizing the CBT triangle to uncover the underlying beliefs fueling their anxiety. Once identified, clients can then focus on reframing and distancing themselves from these unproductive beliefs. The goal is for clients to develop a more constructive belief system that better supports their well-being.
I can recognize a client's progress with their anxiety when they become increasingly aware of their unhelpful beliefs and can transition from a negative belief momentum to a more positive one. They start to realize the power of perspective and how they have control over which perspectives they empower.
Clients can enhance their ability to manage anxiety by practicing mindfulness and being present with their anxiety, viewing it as a signal pointing to an unhelpful belief. During this time, clients can write down these unhelpful beliefs to gain a clearer understanding of what is embedded in their life template/beliefs, and then focus on restructuring these beliefs.
Clients can prepare for their therapy intake by reflecting on their personal narrative and identifying moments of heightened anxiety they wish to discuss with the clinician. Additionally, conducting some research on cognitive behavioral therapy to understand the dynamics of personality and ego flow can be beneficial.
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Duluth, GA can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Duluth therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
