What is your go-to approach for anxiety therapy?

My approach to helping patients manage their anxiety is to normalize the situation, letting them know that so many others also deal with anxiety and that we can overcome it together.

What tools do you teach in anxiety therapy?

I teach multiple grounding tools that help the patient get back to the here and now. I teach breathing techniques that are creative and can be used in any environment.

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

I know that one of my patients is making progress when they notice that, “Hey, I got through that situation a little better this time.”

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

My patients can supplement their individual therapy with books that I recommend.

What should someone do to prepare for starting anxiety therapy?

To prepare for your first session, think about some issues that you would like to work on and have them written down in order of priority.

Starting Anxiety therapy

What is anxiety therapy?

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

Tips for Overcoming Anxiety

Stay active: Regular exercise reduces stress and improves mood. Start slowly and increase your activity gradually.

Change your thinking patterns: Focus on positive thoughts and recognize your accomplishments, no matter how small.
