- Psychotherapy (especially Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT)

How can therapy help manage anxiety?
Therapy assists individuals in understanding and managing their anxiety by identifying and addressing the underlying thoughts and behaviors contributing to anxious feelings. Therapists work to uncover the deepest layers of what your mind is communicating when you’re anxious, allowing for targeted treatment of each anxiety theme.
What therapeutic approaches are effective for treating anxiety?
Several evidence-based therapeutic methods have proven effective in treating anxiety, including:
– Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors contributing to anxiety.
– Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Utilizes guided eye movements to help process and integrate traumatic memories that may be causing anxiety.
– Prolonged Exposure Therapy: Involves confronting anxiety-provoking situations or memories in a controlled manner to reduce their impact over time.
What is the process of anxiety therapy?
The therapy process typically includes:
– Assessment: Evaluating the types of anxieties you’re experiencing and understanding the thoughts contributing to your anxiety.
– Treatment Planning: Developing a personalized plan using effective therapy techniques tailored to your specific anxiety themes.
– Skill Development: Learning and practicing strategies to manage and reduce anxiety symptoms effectively.
What should I expect during therapy sessions?
During therapy sessions, you’ll work collaboratively with your therapist to understand the root causes of your anxiety. The focus will be on developing coping strategies, challenging negative thought patterns, and practicing techniques to manage anxiety effectively. The goal is to equip you with the tools needed to maintain mental well-being and improve your quality of life.
How many sessions are typically needed?
The length of treatment varies by severity and the therapy approach:
- Short-term therapy (for mild to moderate anxiety): 8–16 sessions
- Moderate to severe or chronic anxiety: may require 6–12 months or more
- Ongoing support or relapse prevention: monthly or as-needed sessions after initial treatment
- Therapy is often weekly at first and may become biweekly or monthly as progress is made.
Is Anxiety Treatment suitable for everyone?
Yes, anxiety treatment is generally suitable for most people experiencing:
- Generalized anxiety
- Panic attacks
- Social anxiety
- Phobias
- OCD or trauma-related anxiety (with specific adaptations)
However:
- Some people may need a combination of therapy and medication for best results
- Youth, older adults, or those with co-occurring conditions may need tailored approaches
