For instance, if you have an increase in anxiety you may want to attend therapy to learn coping skills.
Going to therapy and talking to a stranger about your inner most thoughts and feelings is difficult. So, congrats on taking this first step. My name is Kathleen and I am a licensed counselor in the states of Texas. I approach each client based on their needs, situation, culture, lived experiences, and goals. I tend to move fluidly through the following approaches: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered, Dialectic-Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Gestalt, and Psychodynamic. What does that all mean? I try to bend and move with my clients' needs and where they are in their therapeutic process.

I believe that our past experiences have dictated the way we react as a child, a teen, and an adult, a family or as couple with our current situation. Having a better understanding about why we do these things can create a lasting change on our perspective of life. Viewing your emotional pain as who you are continues to increase any and all symptoms. Guilt and shame start to set in and the struggle to get through life becomes unmanageable. Perhaps it's addiction, anxiety, bad relationships, or another mental health diagnosis. Perhaps you lost what you once believed you were living for.

Anxiety Therapists

What are the most common treatments for anxiety?

Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?

The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

When should I seek treatment for anxiety?

Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?

Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
