Evidence-Based Approaches to Treating Anxiety

Our counselors use a variety of approaches to help clients reduce anxiety and build resilience.

​

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps you recognize and shift unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anxiety. By practicing healthier ways of thinking and behaving, many clients notice relief and greater confidence in managing stress.

​

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT provides practical skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance — empowering you to stay grounded when anxiety spikes.

​

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness helps you stay present instead of getting lost in worries about the past or future. Through guided practices, you’ll learn to calm your nervous system and respond more intentionally to stress.

​

Somatic Therapy

Because anxiety often lives in the body, somatic therapy focuses on physical awareness and releasing stored tension. This body-based approach helps calm the nervous system and reconnect mind and body.

​

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

For anxiety rooted in trauma, EMDR helps the brain process distressing experiences so they no longer trigger overwhelming fear. Clients often experience deep relief and freedom from the patterns of trauma-driven anxiety.

​

Internal Family Systems (IFS) for Anxiety

Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps individuals understand the different “parts” of themselves that may contribute to anxiety, such as inner critics, worried parts, or fearful voices. By identifying and compassionately engaging these parts, clients can reduce anxious thoughts and emotional tension. IFS offers a gentle, effective way to address the root causes of anxiety, helping clients regain calm and self-awareness.

​

Art Therapy for Anxiety

Art Therapy allows clients to express anxiety visually when words aren’t enough. Creating art can help release tension, process overwhelming emotions, and explore triggers in a safe environment. This approach supports mindfulness and emotional regulation, making it especially helpful for clients who experience high stress or panic symptoms.

​

Play Therapy for Child Anxiety

Play Therapy provides children with a natural, engaging way to process anxiety. Through guided play, games, and creative activities, children can express feelings, develop coping skills, and learn strategies to manage worry or fear. This therapy is particularly effective for kids who struggle to communicate their emotions verbally.

​

Couples Therapy for Anxiety

Couples Therapy can be a powerful tool when anxiety affects relationships. Partners learn communication skills, strategies for managing shared stress, and ways to support one another without enabling anxious patterns. Addressing anxiety within the context of a relationship strengthens trust, connection, and mutual understanding.
