Anxiety therapy FAQs

What is anxiety therapy?

How does anxiety therapy work?

Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.

How to deal with anxiety?

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.

Currently, it feels like talking to my therapist is like talking to a very experienced, specialized medical doctor. She asks precise questions to pinpoint my emotional /psychological triggers so that I can work to change them. The sessions feel invaluable for me to reach my mental health goals.

Scheduling online is generally very easy but it would be nice to be able to book future appointments with my provider right from the portal instead of clicking a link from an email. When I try to book again from the portal, I’m always shown different providers in the area but not mine. My provider is excellent, and I feel much better overall after our sessions!
