I use CBT. CBT is versatile and it gives control to the client to figure out how best to achieve their goals.
I teach the following tools for gaining insight into the issues clients are facing: problem-solving skills, coping skills, breathing techniques, communication skills, self awareness, expressing themselves through effective communication, stress reduction, and meditation.
I know a client is making progress in therapy when they are actively engaged and sharing their thoughts and feelings about the subject matter. I can also tell when the session is over and it feels like we just started, as that means we are both actively engaged in the subject matter of the meeting.
Clients can participate in group therapy or a self-help group. They can also read written material online or in books related to the issues they are dealing with.
To prepare for the first session, you can take a personal inventory of what you want to accomplish in therapy and write it down so you remember what you want to say.
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in West Hartford, CT 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 West Hartford 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.
