Starting Anxiety therapy

What is anxiety therapy?

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Stockton, CA can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.

How does anxiety therapy work?

Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Stockton therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.

How to deal with anxiety?

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.

Symptoms of anxiety

Common symptoms of anxiety include:

  • Sense of impending danger
  • Nervousness/restlessness
  • Trouble focusing
  • Excessive sweating
  • Shaking
  • Headaches
  • Stomach issues
  • Fatigue
  • Panic attacks
  • Increased heart rate

What is the best therapy for anxiety?

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.

Is anxiety therapy conducted in person or online?

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.

How long does anxiety therapy last?

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.

Is therapy worth it for anxiety?

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.

Need more help deciding?

We all feel jittery, or on edge from time to time. That’s completely normal; the problem is when these symptoms aren’t giving you relief because of their persistence. That’s when anxiety can spread, taking away from your biggest hopes and closest relationships, until it’s the only thing that’s left. 

At Thriveworks in Stockton, CA, our therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists know how to treat anxiety, and they want to help you find the relief you need. When you choose to connect with one of our professionals, you’ll be receiving industry-leading support and insight. When you partner with Thriveworks, anxiety doesn’t have to control your decisions. 

How Can Anxiety Therapy Help Me?

Though you might be experiencing some of the symptoms that we listed above, it’s important to note that anxiety manifests differently for everyone. But don’t worry, we will provide you with a customized treatment plan that’s designed to promote your personal growth and mental health, whilst addressing your specific anxiety symptoms. If you’re worried about what treatment from one of our psychologists or psychiatrists will be like or whether it will help, rest assured: Our treatment programs are designed to help you feel better and to produce results. Our providers can help clients cope with anxiety by: 

  • Using talk therapy or behavioral therapy to promote self-awareness 
  • Developing coping mechanisms to use in real life, anxiety-inducing situations 
  • Helping family members or partners understand their loved one’s anxiety through relationship therapy or family counseling 

While different mental health professionals may approach anxiety treatment a little differently, their goal is still the same. And that’s to provide you with the best possible care that we can.

What Kind of Anxiety Do I Have?

It’s also helpful to know that there are different types of anxiety. Depending on the person or their circumstances, anxiety can manifest as: 

  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): OCD causes thought loops, fixation on certain topics or emotions, and irrational fears associated with ceasing these activities. 
  • Social anxiety disorder: Social anxiety creates situational distress related to interactions with other people. Ranging from trips to the grocery store to important work meetings, social anxiety can be disruptive and damaging to one’s personal life. 
  • Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD): As its name suggests, GAD has no specific trigger but instead causes anxiety in multiple different scenarios, whether real or imagined. 
  • Panic disorder: This disorder induces panic attacks, which result in dizziness, chest pain, vertigo, and nausea. 
  • Post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD): PTSD, though well-known, can occur in anyone, although it’s primarily associated with veterans. This disorder can induce flashbacks to traumatic events, nightmares, and antisocial behavior.
