Starting Anxiety therapy

What is anxiety therapy?

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in San Bernardino, CA 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 San Bernardino 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 Does an Anxiety Disorder Look Like?

Anxiety can take many forms and may look different for each person who experiences it. Some of the most common symptoms include:

  • General uneasy feeling
  • Panic attacks
  • Increased heart rate
  • Agitation and irritability
  • Fatigue
  • Excessive worrying
  • Insomnia
  • Headaches
  • Muscle tension
  • Restlessness
  • Changes in eating patterns
  • Self-imposed social isolation

While anxiety disorders can feel scary, they are highly treatable. At Thriveworks Counseling in San Bernardino, CA we offer effective treatment for anxiety, depression, and many other mental and emotional disorders.

How Do You Treat Anxiety?

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, is a modified version of CBT that teaches clients skills to deal with uncomfortable emotions without resorting to harmful behaviors. By learning new skills like mindfulness, self-soothing, distress tolerance, and more, clients are empowered to take control of their own recovery process under the guidance of a trained professional.

While CBT and DBT are helpful for many forms of anxiety, others — like social anxiety, PTSD, and phobias — are sometimes treated more effectively by exposure therapy. With this form of treatment, a client takes small steps under a therapist’s supervision to disarm their body’s anxiety response and work through feelings that might otherwise be overwhelming.

Throughout sessions, your counselor or therapist might also teach you relaxation techniques that you can use when you’re feeling anxious. These may include deep breathing and meditation exercises or progressive muscle relaxation techniques.

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.
