My go-to approaches for helping people in therapy are acceptance and commitment therapy and polyvagal theory. I prefer these two because of the focus on values and being able to move toward their intended goal regardless of their emotional state. ACT teaches that there are no such things as “good” or “bad” emotions. Polyvagal theory works within the nervous system to assist with emotional regulation. Utilizing these two approaches allows for more targeted and real-time assistance.
I teach a variety of tools in individual therapy to help assist with anxiety, including emotional regulation, communication, relational issues, decision-making, thought challenging, etc.
I know that a client is making meaningful progress when they inform me of the changes they've made, display decreased emotional reactivity to the themes surrounding what brought them into therapy, and have moved significantly closer to their intended goal.
Clients can practice learned strategies in addition to checking out suggested supplemental information in between sessions to supplement their time in individual therapy.
One of the things I think would be helpful is for someone to know that it is okay for them to feel uncomfortable starting therapy.
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Tallahassee, FL 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 Tallahassee 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.
What Does Anxiety Look Like?
Anxiety may present as the following symptoms:
Thriveworks therapists are trained to recognize anxiety symptoms and to implement successful treatment strategies that best suit their clients.
There are several evidence-based treatment approaches that Thriveworks counselors may use, including but no limited to:
Cognitive behavioral therapy has a high success rate in treating anxiety in the long term. It works by identifying and then modifying the thought patterns that lead to anxiety. For example, someone who has social anxiety might use their time in therapy to examine their beliefs about worst-case scenarios. Through cognitive restructuring with a licensed Thriveworks therapist, the client can retrain their brain to think in more adaptive ways.
There are many different types of anxiety disorders, though their symptoms can overlap. Only a qualified mental health professional like those at Thriveworks in Tallahassee, FL can accurately diagnose anxiety disorders. Once a client has a diagnosis, they can begin successful treatment. Anxiety disorders listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) include the following:
