What anxiety therapy involves

Anxiety is one of the most common reasons people seek therapy, and it responds well to treatment. Most anxiety therapists draw on evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps you recognize and reframe the thought patterns that fuel worry, and exposure therapy, which gradually reduces the power of the situations you avoid. Others use acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) or mindfulness-based methods to help you respond to anxious feelings without being controlled by them.

A first session is usually a conversation about what you're experiencing and what you'd like to change — there's nothing to prepare. If anxiety is interfering with sleep, work, relationships, or daily routines, that's a clear sign it's worth talking to someone. The providers listed below all work with anxiety and can help you find an approach that fits.
