Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is considered the most effective psychotherapy for anxiety.
CBT combines cognitive therapy and behavior therapy. Cognitive therapy helps patients identify thoughts that trigger anxiety and replace them with more realistic ones. Behavior therapy teaches patients coping skills for dealing with different problems.
I know a client is making meaningful progress when they consistently practice the techniques given in therapy.
Clients can supplement their time in anxiety therapy by consistently practicing the techniques learned in therapy.
To prepare for your first anxiety therapy session, you can prepare yourself to be open and honest.

Anxiety and depression are mental illnesses that unfortunately go hand in hand. Anxiety makes you feel like you’re not doing something you’re supposed to be doing. Depression makes you feel like it doesn’t matter what you have going on and you should just do nothing instead. It’s a constant back and forth that makes you feel overwhelmed. Luckily, if you’re battling either or both of these mental illnesses, there is help readily available.
At Thriveworks Counseling in Dumont, NJ, our anxiety and depression therapists are highly trained and experienced in helping people from all different backgrounds work through their challenges. Anxiety and depression can feel extremely isolating. But it doesn’t have to stay that way. If you need some extra guidance and support, reach out to us today.
As we briefly touched on before, anxiety and depression have a lot of overlapping symptoms that can make it difficult to distinguish between the two sometimes. After a period of anxiety, you might become depressed about your experience. And vice versa. Here are some common signs and symptoms of anxiety and depression:
As you can tell, a lot of symptoms overlap. If you are experiencing any or all of the ones listed above or feel like you might be battling these mental illnesses, consider reaching out to our office. Our therapists can not only help you overcome these feelings, but accurately diagnose you.
Deciding to seek out the help of a therapist isn’t always an easy decision. Plus, if you’ve never been to therapy before it may seem a little scary or intimidating. However, working with a therapist is actually pretty easy and straightforward. When you begin, your therapist will work with you to understand what your goals and needs are, as well as to help you identify where the root causes of these emotions stems from. In doing so, they’ll come up with an individualized treatment plan that aims to help you start living a happier, healthier life.
Treating anxiety and depression is possible. And treating them properly can improve your overall quality of life. Some of our clients go months, even years, with no true answers as to what is causing their pain. We’ll help you change your thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs surrounding the feelings you have in order to create more positive patterns. If you have been experiencing these difficult emotions on an ongoing basis, it may be time to contact a dedicated, trusted therapist. Recovery is possible.
When you feel isolated and think you don’t have anyone to turn to who understands what you’re going through, reach out for a helping hand at Thriveworks. Our team of therapists are dedicated to providing client-focused care with your needs in mind. We believe expectational client care starts with compassion.
