My focus in treating anxiety is utilizing DBT techniques. I find these techniques that emphasize self-regulation quite beneficial because they provide useful alternatives to address anxiety.
I teach DBT techniques in my sessions that are primarily to treat anxiety. These techniques provide coping skills, relaxation exercises, and emotional self-regulation that include mindfulness, which is also effective.
I believe a client demonstrates progress with anxiety when they are able to lessen fear-based responses to triggers and lead a more functional life.
I encourage self-care, relaxation techniques, as well as somatic exercises to supplement therapy.
I encourage clients to remain open to the progress that is possible and the transformations that can occur with the techniques provided.
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Chesapeake, VA 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 Chesapeake 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 distinguish themselves from this normal feeling through their severity and longevity. If you are experiencing unfocused thoughts, constant worry, or isolation because of your anxiety, you are not alone
