What is your go-to approach for anxiety therapy?

I teach the following tools in cognitive anxiety therapy:

  • Coping skills including meditation, breathing, journaling
  • The importance of creating structure in your day
  • How to embrace our emotions
  • How to use emapthy as as the compass for our meanth health journey
  • How to reframe iratonal fears, thoughts and befiefs

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in anxiety therapy?

I know a client is making progress in anxiety therapy when they begin to make meaningful emotional and behavioral changes that support the goal they came into treatment to address.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement anxiety therapy?

Clients can supplement their time in anxiety therapy by implementing coping skills through out the day, establishing healhty routines and surrounding themselves with a support system that allows them to feel seen, heard and validated.

What should someone do to prepare for starting anxiety therapy?

To prepare for your first anxiety counselong session, you can start by making a choice that you are worthy of investing in yourself and acknowledge how brave you are to take the fisrt step in scheduling as appointment.

Starting Anxiety therapy

What is anxiety therapy?

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Edison, NJ 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 Edison 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.

Types of Anxiety: What Kind of Anxiety Do I Have?

There are different types of anxiety, otherwise known as anxiety disorders. The anxiety most people know and refer to is generalized anxiety, of which means the individual suffers from anxiety surrounding a range of events. Other anxiety disorders, however, have a more specific theme. For example:

  1. Social Anxiety: People with social anxiety experience anxiety in social situations. Some experience social anxiety in specific circumstances, such as when speaking in public, while others experience social anxiety in any and all social situations.
  2. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterized by recurrent thoughts (obsessions) and behaviors (compulsions). Common repetitive behaviors include handwashing, counting, and so on. The individual feels compelled to repeat these rituals.
  3. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) develops after a traumatic or terrifying experience. Symptoms include hypervigilance, sleep disturbances, jumpiness.

I really appreciated that the person who initially took my insurance information who was extremely caring and invested in setting me up with the correct person to talk to even though I had been referred to my therapist and wanting to try talking to her first. I also am feeling so much better after having had several sessions with my current therapist Rebecca Warrington. I feel like she is extremely understanding and knowledgeable about the situation I find myself in which has been causing me grief and she has been helping me find ways to overcome my hardships. I absolutely have and would recommend thriveworks to anyone I think would benefit from the help of counseling.

The scheduling process was easy. My clinician is a good match for me. I appreciate her approach with me. She has been straightforward with information for the process, which for me is very helpful. . Only improvement recommendation is access to the dashboard/account. I wish we could just log in sometimes and not need a code. Im sure this is a security feature- and I do appreciate information being secure. My experience has been positive so far.
