Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Leominster, MA 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 Leominster 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.
There are many different causes of anxiety, from traumatic events to personality traits and mere genetic factors. These vary on a person to person basis, as do many of the specifics for anxiety. For example, you might feel anxious on a day to day basis about a variety of events, while another individual might only encounter anxious thoughts and feelings when exposed to very specific circumstances, like those that involve social interactions.
The good news is that regardless of the specifics, an anxiety therapist can help you to understand and manage your anxiety. If you are in the Worcester area, and you’re experiencing anxiety, consider working with an anxiety therapist at Thriveworks Counseling in Leominster, MA. We have anxiety therapists and psychologists on our team who are ready to work with you right away.

We all tend to worry a little too much—about what traffic’s going to be like in the morning or whether our loved one will have a safe flight. This is normal. But some of us worry excessively and constantly. While the signs and symptoms of anxiety can vary, there are several common symptoms. “Major symptoms of anxiety vary from person to person but some of them are insomnia, avoidance of certain tasks or activities, difficulty concentrating, and restlessness,” says Venturiely Grullon, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor at the Leominster office. “There are also physical symptoms of anxiety such as sweating, trembling, fatigue, and palpitations.”
If you’re a big worrier and you’re experiencing any combination of the above, you might have an anxiety disorder. As we said earlier, you aren’t alone and you don’t have to navigate this journey that is understanding and managing your anxiety by yourself. An anxiety therapist at Thriveworks Counseling in Leominster can offer you the professional help and guidance you’re searching for.

Anxiety can make functioning on a daily basis difficult. It can cause one to feel nervous in social situations, feel fearful in crowds, obsess over mundane tasks, and more.
