Christian: My go-to approach for treating anxiety is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
Amy : My go-to approach for helping people in anxiety therapy is to focus on problem-solving and identifying patterns of negative thoughts and behaviors. I find the best benefit in this because this allows the client to process feelings, learn to identify triggers, and focus on future goals. I also cater my approach to each client's needs, as every person is different.
Christian: I teach the following tools in anxiety therapy:
Amy : "I teach the following tools in individual therapy:

Christian: Clients can supplement their time in anxiety therapy with self care!
Amy : Clients can supplement their time in therapy with mindfulness techniques, increased socialization, open communication with their support system, and increased physical activity, such as yoga.
Christian: Come open, honest, and ready to be supported!
Amy : To prepare for your first therapy session, you can write notes that you would like to discuss, think of your goals for therapy, and try not to be nervous, because I am here to help!
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Cornelius, NC can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Cornelius therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
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.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
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.
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.
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.
