what is anxiety therapy?

Anxiety therapy provides a safe and supportive space to explore your fears, understand the root causes of your anxiety, and learn effective strategies for relief. Our licensed therapists use evidence-based approaches, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): One of the most researched treatments for anxiety; helps clients identify and change negative thought patterns.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Focuses on accepting anxious thoughts while committing to values-based actions.

  • Mindfulness-Based Therapy & Meditation: Techniques to reduce rumination and stay grounded in the present.

  • Exposure Therapy / ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention): Gradual, supportive exposure to feared situations; highly effective for phobias, OCD, and social anxiety.

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills: Emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness strategies.

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): Often used for trauma-related anxiety and PTSD.

  • Somatic Therapy: Body-based techniques that release physical tension and help regulate the nervous system.

  • Psychodynamic Therapy: Exploring unconscious patterns and root causes of anxiety, often connected to past experiences.

  • Humanistic / Person-Centered Therapy: A supportive, non-judgmental space that fosters self-acceptance and growth.

  • Integrative or Holistic Therapy: A blend of modalities tailored to each client’s unique needs.

With the right therapist, anxiety treatment can help you feel calmer, more in control, and better equipped to handle life’s challenges.
