Anxiety therapy FAQs

What is anxiety therapy?

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

I have learned so much about myself! My therapist has given me so many tools to help manage my anxiety and depression. The daily heaviness of life has been replaced with confidence, energy, and a smile. None of which would have been possible before therapy began with Ann Archer. Thriveworks offered me the ability to afford Therapy and I would recommend both my therapist and Thriveworks to anyone looking for Therapy.

Scarlett Aug 2026Thriveworks.com verified review
★★★★★
I have had two providers through Thriveworks over the past many years and both have been amazing. The transition was pretty seamless with my last provider recommending Meredith. I appreciated being able to read through everyone’s bios and come to the same conclusion myself. I felt comfortable with Meredith from my very first session. It is difficult to change providers after sharing so much with someone but she understood that challenge and has met me where I’m at every single session. She’s so patient, wise and grounding to work with. I personally believe I’ve come leaps and bounds since working with Meredith and now can see that this was a change I was ready for. I am so grateful for her time and her expertise. I would 1,0000% recommend her.
