My go-to approaches for anxiety are CBT, DBT, and mindfulness. I prefer mindfulness, CBT, and DBT, as they help the client understand what is going on within them both internally and externally, and how to effectively manage their emotions and anxiety.
I teach the following tools in anxiety therapy: recognizing and activating all five senses (sight, smell, hear, taste, touch), grounding yourself by holding an object, using a grounding chair, asking yourself basic questions, positive coping statements, breathing exercises, recognizing body sensations, expanding awareness, etc.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in anxiety therapy when their day-to-day functioning is no longer inhibited by anxiety symptoms.
Clients can supplement their time in anxiety therapy with exposure to anxiety-producing events, cognitive restructuring (replacing negative thoughts with positive thoughts), mindfulness, or exercise.
To prepare for your first anxiety therapy session, you can make a list of your concerns and goals, come with questions for your therapist, and be open and honest with your feelings.
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Littleton, CO 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 Littleton 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.
Do you live in constant worry? Are you overburdened, stressed, and mentally depleted, making it difficult to think clearly and complete tasks? You might be suffering from anxiety—excessive fear and worry over events and outcomes that have yet to happen and may never actually occur.
You don’t have to coexist with crippling anxiety. Call us at (720) 358-7560 to schedule your appointment today.
