What is your go-to approach for anxiety therapy?

My go-to approach for treating anxiety is cognitive behavioral therapy. I find the most benefit in CBT because it addresses the root of people's anxieties/fears and engages the client in challenging these thoughts to develop a more positive mindset.

What tools do you teach in anxiety therapy?

I teach the following tools in anxiety therapy:

  • Grounding techniques: Skills that help people recenter themselves during times of rumination.
  • Breathing techniques: Taking the time to stop and breathe deeply is really beneficial in signaling to our brain that we are not in danger like our anxiety tends to make us think we are.
  • Cognitive reframing: This involves identifying an individual's thoughts that are causing distress and trying to reframe these into more rational and helpful ones.

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress in anxiety therapy when they are able to catch and reframe their own negative thinking patterns.

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

Clients can supplement their time in anxiety therapy with journaling and practicing mindfulness.

What should someone do to prepare for starting anxiety therapy?

To prepare for your first anxiety therapy session, you can jot down a couple of the circumstances and thoughts that you find triggering.

Starting Anxiety therapy in North Charleston

What is anxiety therapy?

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in North Charleston, SC 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 North Charleston 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.

Common symptoms of anxiety include:

  • Sense of impending danger
  • Nervousness/restlessness

  • 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.

I appreciate the seamless integration of technology (text and email communications), but it felt like a deluge with how many came in short succession. Perhaps they could be bundled or stepped differently to help signing up feel less overwhelming.
