I start by developing a connection with my client and creating a space where they feel safe to explore and identify what is contributing to their anxiety. From here, I educate my clients on what anxiety is and how their thoughts and behavior patterns may be contributing. Finally, I help them develop tools and skills to reduce anxiety and increase their sense of well-being.
The tools I find most effective for anxiety therapy are:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in anxiety therapy when they become more self-aware and have a deeper understanding of what they are thinking and doing that does not serve them. This increased insight and self-awareness often lead clients to make beneficial changes.
I work with my clients in creating practice work for in-between sessions to help them continue their progress and growth. This often includes applying the skills taught in therapy such as breathing, meditation, and relaxation techniques.
To prepare for your first session, I recommend being ready to communicate what is causing you to come to therapy and what you hope to gain out of it.
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Waco, TX 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 Waco 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.
