Starting Anxiety therapy

What is anxiety therapy?

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Lexington, KY 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 Lexington 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?

Anxiety is your body’s natural response to stress. It can manifest differently from one person to the next and cause both physical or psychological symptoms. Anxiety sometimes comes and goes, but for some people, like Emma, it can become extreme and interfere with your life.

If you’re experiencing persistent anxiety that affects your relationships, mood, or other aspects of your life, therapy for anxiety can help. Call Thriveworks Counseling in Lexington, KY today and you may be able to speak with a counselor or therapist within the same week.

What Are Some Common Anxiety Symptoms?

Not all feelings of anxiety are the same. For most people, anxiety rises during moments of high stress and falls once the moment has passed. But many others struggle to keep up with their daily life because anxiety has become persistent or excessive. This kind of severe anxiety can indicate the possibility of an anxiety disorder.

Common anxiety symptoms include:

  • Trouble concentrating
  • Restlessness
  • Increased heart rate
  • Rapid breathing
  • Difficulty falling asleep
  • Uncontrollable feelings of worry
  • Sense of impending doom or danger
  • Agitation or irritability
  • Fatigue or lethargy
  • Muscle tension
  • Panic attacks

If you’ve experienced some of these symptoms persistently and would like to pursue therapy for anxiety with a mental health professional, consider reaching out to Thriveworks in Lexington, KY. We can connect you quickly with a counselor or therapist who can help you manage and overcome your anxiety symptoms.

How Does Anxiety Therapy Work?

Talk therapy is a common tool used to treat anxiety disorders. Mental health professionals use talk therapy, also called psychotherapy, to communicate with their patients and help them identify and understand the issues causing emotional distress. Talk therapy can help you understand the stressors impacting your life, adjust the way you respond to stress, and reduce anxiety altogether.

Some common forms of talk therapy used to treat anxiety include the following:

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
  • Behavioral therapy
  • Interpersonal therapy
  • Psychodynamic therapy
  • Humanistic therapy
  • Exposure therapy
  • Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
