Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Bellingham, WA 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 Bellingham 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.
Anxiety disorders can make everyday events feel as stressful as giving a high-stakes presentation or being in an interview. For those who struggle with anxiety, the symptoms can interfere with their careers, relationships, and day-to-day life.
Our counselors, therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists at Thriveworks in Bellingham, WA are here to help you reduce anxiety. When you’re ready to take the first step, consider reaching out to our scheduling specialists to make your first appointment.
Anxiety disorders are mental health disorders characterized by feelings of stress, worry, or fear that interrupt daily activities and make it difficult to function normally. There are many types of anxiety disorders, including phobias, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The most common form of anxiety is called generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), which affects millions of adults yearly. People with GAD experience excessive worry most days for a period of at least six months, in conjunction with at least three of the following anxiety symptoms:
One of the most common forms of therapy used for treating anxiety is called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). In CBT, clients learn to recognize and reframe thought patterns that feed into anxious feelings and behaviors. This form of therapy also often involves homework assignments focused on documenting worries and learning to cope more effectively.
Other types of therapy include dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), exposure therapy, and psychoanalysis. Treatment for anxiety might also involve learning and implementing grounding exercises into your daily life. This can take the form of physical exercise, like yoga or running. Your counselor might also recommend trying mindfulness practices, like deep breathing or meditation, or making other modifications like cutting out caffeine, eating a balanced diet, and regulating your sleep schedule.
Since anxiety can affect people in different ways, treatment for anxiety can also vary from person to person. At Thriveworks, your provider will customize a treatment plan that makes sense for your specific situation. Some people benefit from one or more forms of talk therapy, other people from prescription medication, and others still from a combination of treatment modalities. Having open and honest communication with your therapist or counselor about your symptoms and concerns will be key in getting the help that’s best suited to your needs.
