How Can Anxiety Therapy Help?
Anxiety counseling can teach people to understand what they feel, why it’s happening, and ways to control it. As with any form of treatment, early intervention offers the best opportunity for a positive outcome.
Therapy is designed to give people the tools to manage their anxiety. And because anxiety disorders present differently, therapy can take several forms. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective method that helps teach clients how to identify negative thoughts and behaviors and cope with them.
Acceptance commitment therapy (ACT) vests people with the power to accept and manage their thoughts rather than try to change them. Exposure therapy can be used to treat phobias by introducing stressors incrementally to desensitize the client to the feared object or situation.
Mental health professionals can use different forms of psychotherapy, in conjunction with medication if necessary, to deliver a complete treatment plan. Your Thriveworks professional will determine the right course of action for your situation based on the severity and type of your symptoms.
When you’re ready to bring some calm back into your life, consider calling for an appointment at Thriveworks in Midland, TX.
