Starting Anxiety therapy

What is anxiety therapy?

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in West Bloomfield Township, 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 West Bloomfield Township 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.

Need more help deciding?

Are there certain activities or events that make you uncomfortable? For example, social situations or those in which you’re the center of attention. Do you worry excessively about the future? Say, whether or not you’ll make it to work on time or if your husband will remember to pick up the kids from school. If so, you might have anxiety, just like 300 million people around the world.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 1 in 5 people have an anxiety disorder. Anxiety can look different from person to person, or even day to day, but it is characterized by excessive or uncontrollable worry. This can make one feel trapped, hopeless, and fearful. The good news, though, is that there is treatment for those who suffer with anxiety—treatment that is readily available and effective.

Anxiety Disorders: Generalized Anxiety, PTSD, Social Anxiety, and More

There are different kinds of anxiety, which vary in severity and presentation. Here are 5 of the main anxiety disorders:

  1. Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Generalized anxiety is day to day anxiety that becomes excessive or uncontrollable. This is the anxiety that most are familiar with.
  2. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): The anxiety that comes with PTSD stems from trauma, like physical abuse, witnessing a natural disaster, or military combat. Victims of trauma might experience nightmares or flashbacks related to the traumatic event, and other harmful symptoms.
  3. Social Anxiety Disorder: This anxiety is triggered by social interactions. Those with social anxiety might feel nervous and uncomfortable in all social situations or in specific social situations such as when they are the center of attention.
  4. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): OCD is characterized by unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviors that an individual is compelled to complete.
  5. Panic Disorder: Panic Disorder is extreme fear or anxiety caused by a perceived threat. Symptoms include a sense of impending doom, trembling, and shortness of breath.
