What is your go-to approach for anxiety therapy?

My go-to approaches for treating anxiety are CBT and psychotherapy.

What tools do you teach in anxiety therapy?

I like to reach clients with anxiety tools to lower their anxiety, such as exercising, deep breathing, going for walks, listing their reason for feeling anxious, and working on skills to lower stress based on their anxiety.

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

I know clients are making meaningful progress with anxiety when they report that they are feeling less anxious and able to use their coping skills when they are feeling anxious.

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

Clients can supplement their time in therapy for anxiety by using coping skills such as journaling, exercising, or taking walks outside to get fresh air.

What should someone do to prepare for starting anxiety therapy?

Clients could read therapists' profiles so that they know who they are meeting with. Clients should know that the first session is about getting to know each other.

Starting Anxiety therapy

What is anxiety therapy?

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

What Are the Symptoms of Anxiety?

Anxiety can manifest in a variety of ways, including in other health conditions. For example, a person suffering from acute anxiety might experience digestive problems like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). They may also have migraines, insomnia, or appetite problems. 

When a person is actively experiencing anxiety, they may feel their heart racing. They may feel nauseated, dizzy, or short of breath. These symptoms can worsen during a panic attack, even leading a person to think they’re having a heart attack. 

Anxiety can also manifest as repetitive behaviors, as in the case of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). People with anxiety might also suffer from depression. They may abuse drugs or alcohol in order to manage their symptoms, though substance abuse will just lead to more problems down the line. 

What Is the Best Treatment for Anxiety?

  • Mindfulness therapy

  • Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR)
  • Lifestyle modifications like increased exercise, better nutrition, and reduced caffeine
  • Family therapy or couples counseling to address relationships affected by anxiety
