Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in El Paso, TX 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 El Paso 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.
Amy thought she knew what anxiety was—but she’d never experienced it herself until now. She was used to hearing, “I feel anxious today,” or, “My anxiety is out of control.” But she now realizes that these people weren’t experiencing a full-blown anxiety disorder like she currently is.
Have you ever felt like Amy? She experiences out-of-control fear and worry the majority of the day, every day. There isn’t any distinguishable, warranted reason for her fear and worry either. She just can’t help feeling on edge. Amy started feeling this way after her parents got divorced—a heartbreaking and life-changing event.
This is typical for people with anxiety and other mental health disorders. They don’t exactly understand why they feel the way that they do. However, their symptoms often stem from an event or experience. Mental health disorders aren’t simple. Fortunately, mental health experts specialize in assessing and treating them.
If you are experiencing anxiety, it’s important that you talk to a mental health professional about it. They can bring light to your situation, offer a greater understanding, and help you manage your symptoms. If this sounds like something you need or could benefit from, reach out to Thriveworks Counseling in El Paso, TX. We’re here to help you with your anxiety.
Anxiety is characterized by out-of-control worry, as we described earlier with Amy. Often, there is no warranted cause of this worry or fear. In other instances though, there are specific events or triggers that bring on the individual’s anxious thoughts and feelings.
Here are some of the most common types of anxiety:
All of the above are anxiety disorders that can cause significant distress and interfere with important areas of life. For this reason, it’s important that anyone who experiences symptoms of anxiety sees a professional.
Anxiety isn’t easy to control or manage on your own. While self-care activities—like journaling and exercising—can help you mitigate and relieve anxiety, therapy is often necessary to help one get their anxiety under control.
In addition, medication, like anti-anxiety medication, is a good fit for certain individuals. This kind of medication can lessen one’s anxiety symptoms while they work with a therapist to get to the root of the problem.
We want you to feel comfortable and empowered to make meaningful progress with your anxiety counselor. Our professionals are all skilled, caring, and experienced. And they’ll use their passion and expertise to help you live a happier, healthier life again.
