My go-to approach for treating anxiety is using mindfulness-focused cognitive behavioral therapy. I find the most benefit in using strategies from this because it allows people to learn they have permission to experience their emotions while also exploring ways to change perspectives and behavioral strategies.
I teach the following tools in anxiety therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in anxiety therapy when they recognize they are able to face anxiety-provoking situations with more ease and realize they have more confidence in being in situations that they used to avoid.
Clients can supplement their time in anxiety therapy with journaling techniques, using deep breathing and grounding exercises outside of sessions, incorporating a self-care routine, having “mini self-therapy” to monitor their anxiety outside of sessions, using self-compassion, and practicing mindfulness.
To prepare for your first session to address anxiety, you can reflect on what some of the triggers for your anxiety have been, symptoms you have been noticing, the impact of the anxiety on your life, and goals around anxiety that you would like to work towards in therapy.
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Boca Raton, FL 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 Boca Raton 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 can vary from person to person and even change in appearance on a daily basis, but it’s main characteristic is excessive, uncontrollable worry.
