Anxiety is so common in the United States, but you don’t have to struggle without support. My go-to strategies for folks managing anxiety are regulation-skill, mindfulness interventions, cognitive challenging and reframing (CBT), and helping folks identify triggers to anxious thoughts/feelings.
I teach regulation, mindfulness, and thought challenging most often!
Clients are making meaningful progress if they feel they can manage their anxiety, use coping skills more effectively, and/or if their general baseline has decreased at all.
Clients can supplement their time in anxiety therapy by using mindfulness techniques, exercising, engaging with their communities of trusted people, and seeking psychiatry services if needed.
To prepare for anxiety therapy, have an idea of what goals you’d like to work on so you can let your therapist know!
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Attleboro, MA 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 Attleboro 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.
Many of us suffer from anxiety, or uncontrollable worry, on a day to day basis. We worry about the aforementioned events, but we also worry about more mundane as well as more serious occurrences. This anxiety can have a major impact on life as we know it: it can harm our work, our relationships, and our overall functioning.
Fortunately, anxiety is highly treatable. If you’ve recognized that you have an anxiety problem, it’s important that you reach out for help. An anxiety therapist at Thriveworks Counseling in Attleboro, MA can provide you with this help. Our team of skilled, caring anxiety specialists have the tools, the training, and the experience to help you better understand and manage your anxiety. To get to work with one of these professionals, just give our office a call. A scheduling specialist will be happy to get you booked for your first session.
Yes, it is normal to worry… on occasion. When you start worrying more often than not, however, it becomes a problem. Again, anxiety is excessive, uncontrollable worry. It is accompanied by harmful mental and physical symptoms that can further hinder your life. These symptoms can vary in presentation and severity on a case by case basis. However, there are common symptoms. “The major signs and symptoms of anxiety include: excessive worry, stress that is out of proportion to a specific event or situation, fear, racing heart, irritability, racing thoughts, feeling of impending doom, nausea, sweating, difficulty sleeping and lack of concentration,” explains Paige Hartmann, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor at our Attleboro office.
If you’re worrying excessively and presenting any combination of the above, it’s important that you speak with a professional who can help you manage your anxiety. Fortunately, there are many techniques that can help you learn to put your thoughts into perspective, cut back on the worrying, and ultimately live a better, less-stressed life. Your anxiety therapist at Thriveworks in Attleboro will do their best to help you find success in treatment.
In addition to anxiety about random, day to day incidents, there are additional anxiety disorders that revolve around a central theme. Here are a couple of common anxiety disorders: social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and specific phobias. In any case, an anxiety therapist or psychologist at Thriveworks Attleboro can step in and make a difference. “Therapy can help an individual manage their anxiety by first identifying possible triggers/warning signs that can cause anxiety. Once triggers/warning signs are identified, the therapist and individual will work together to establish positive coping skills to help manage and reduce anxiety,” Hartmann explains.
Our team of anxiety specialists is here and ready to help you. We understand that anxiety can be frustrating—even debilitating. But you don’t have to keep suffering. We can help you begin to manage your anxiety and, in turn, live a happier, more successful life.
To schedule your anxiety therapy appointment, just call our office. A scheduling specialist will walk you through the simple process. Keep in mind that we have both in-person and online counseling appointments available. Both options can prove effective—it all comes down to your needs and preferences!
