Starting Anxiety therapy

What is anxiety therapy?

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in West Palm Beach, FL 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 West Palm Beach 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.

Do I Have Anxiety? What Are Anxiety Symptoms?

We all worry sometimes—about completing our work on time, making it to our daughter’s school performance, getting to and from safely, and so on. But there’s a fine line between occasional worry and excessive worry that you can’t control. If your worry has turned into the latter, you might have a problem with anxiety.

Anxiety signs and symptoms can vary in nature, but here is a list of common anxiety symptoms to keep an eye out for:

  • Excessive, uncontrollable worry
  • Racing thoughts
  • Irritable mood
  • Fatigue and nausea
  • Racing heartbeat
  • Sweating
  • Difficult concentrating

If your worrying has escalated or is becoming out of control, you might have anxiety. The symptoms above can help you better understand whether you might have an anxiety disorder. If you checked off multiple symptoms on this list, consider working with an anxiety therapist at Thriveworks West Palm Beach, FL to understand what’s going on and take back control.

What Anxiety Disorder Do I Have? How Can Anxiety Therapy Help?

The most prominent and well-known form of anxiety is generalized anxiety disorder, which one experiences regularly in response to different events and stimuli. There are other anxiety disorders, though, too. Consider:

  1. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): This type of anxiety comes with recurrent, unwanted thoughts and behaviors. For example, washing hands excessively or locking the door several times.
  2. Social anxiety disorder: With social anxiety, an individual feels anxious and/or uncomfortable in social interactions. One might experience social anxiety in any social situation or more specific situations, like being the center of attention.
  3. Post-traumatic stress disorder: This type of anxiety can develop after an individual has witnessed a traumatic experience. One might develop physical symptoms like shortness of breath as well as more psychological symptoms like flashbacks.

If you are experiencing symptoms of any of the aforementioned anxiety disorders, consider working with an anxiety therapist or counselor at Thriveworks West Palm Beach, FL. Our anxiety experts and psychologists are ready to help you.

Their billing is horrible. I signed a payment agreement and they did not honour it. They charged my card for way more than the agreed amount making my account go negative. Cancelled all my appointment and wont be using this service again.

I’m 3 times better, because of the instructions and medication. I never was a medicine, trusting person. But after seeing my Psychiatrist, and him explaining the benefits, I trusted the process. And thank God I did.!

I’ve been dealing with a few stressers before reaching out for help in the psychology space. I reached out mainly because the pain being caused in my relationship. Sarah welcomed me into her network here with such professionalism I felt instantly comfortable with having open and candid conversation. Since then my life has gone through and still going through major changes some good and some bad. I would like Thriveworks and Sarah know that this couldn’t have been a better time for someone like Sarah to open her door for me and coach me through some of things I’ve been going thru and point me in the right direction of how to be the best version of a person I can be. You can tell she is passionate about her work and cares deeply for clients like myself. If there’s ever a time where someone I know needs to talk to someone I will recommend Thriveworks and specifically Sarah if it’s possible. Sarah, keep up the good work. You’re making a positive difference in my life.
