What is anxiety therapy?
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Orlando, 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 Orlando 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.

How Can Thriveworks Orlando Counseling Help with My Anxiety?
As we mentioned previously, many people who live with anxiety feel embarrassed or ashamed. They feel that seeking help for anxiety is a weakness. The truth is that it takes strength to ask for help—and many people do! Anxiety is one of the most common reasons people start working with a counselor. You really can reduce or eliminate the symptoms of anxiety with the help of a counselor—and Thriveworks Orlando Counseling is here to provide that help. Here’s how we are uniquely qualified to help:
- We understand what it’s like to experience anxiety. When a person hasn’t had anxiety in their life, they often think that it’s simply feeling nervous or scared. Those who deal with chronic anxiety know that it’s much more serious and can affect virtually every aspect of your life: eating habits, work or school, sleep, and relationships. People who experience chronic anxiety often feel that they have no control over their lives. We understand that this can feel scary and overwhelming, and we are here to help you get your anxiety under control.
- We can help you understand the reasons for your anxiety: Sometimes there’s an underlying cause for anxiety–usually it’s trauma. You may not realize that something that happened years ago is still having a negative impact on you. Thriveworks Orlando Counseling can help you uncover these issues in a safe, secure place where you can finally work through your trauma or any other underlying cause of your anxiety.
- We can assist you in getting to the root of the problem: In a perfect world, you’d simply take a pill and your anxiety would disappear. The reality is that though anxiety medications may be able to help you with the symptoms of anxiety, they can’t help with the root cause. Fortunately, Thriveworks Orlando Counseling can help with the root cause.
- We can create a customized treatment plan just for you: If treating anxiety was the same for everyone, then there’d be no need for counselors—you could simply talk to your general practitioner and get a medical treatment plan. The truth is that everyone comes to these issues from a different place. The right way out of anxiety is different for everyone. At Thriveworks Orlando Counseling we don’t treat you like just another client. We treat you as the individual you are and give you the tools you need to move forward.
