Anxiety doesn’t look the same for everyone. For some, it shows up as racing thoughts before bed. For others, it’s panic attacks that seem to come out of nowhere. Some people feel it most in social situations, while others carry a quiet, constant tension in their bodies throughout the day.
At our counseling practice in Colorado Springs, we know anxiety is complex—and no two people experience it in exactly the same way. That’s why we’re launching a new blog series on different types of anxiety to help you understand what you may be facing and how therapy can help.
What We’ll Be Covering in This Series
Over the next several weeks, we’ll dive into common forms of anxiety and how they affect people’s lives. Some of the topics will include:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): When worry becomes constant and hard to control.
Social Anxiety: Fear of being judged, embarrassed, or rejected in social situations.
Panic Attacks and Panic Disorder: Sudden waves of fear that can feel overwhelming and physical.
Teen Anxiety: The unique stressors adolescents face in today’s world.
Postpartum Anxiety: What new parents may experience beyond the “baby blues.”
Work & Performance Anxiety: Struggles with perfectionism, deadlines, and workplace stress.
Each post will explore what the symptoms look like, how they affect daily life, and the proven ways therapy can help bring relief.
Why This Matters
Anxiety is one of the most common mental health struggles in Colorado Springs and beyond. But too often, people minimize their symptoms or assume they just need to “push through.” Our goal with this series is to:
Provide education so you can recognize anxiety for what it is.
Offer hope by showing that effective treatments exist.
Encourage you to take the next step toward getting help if anxiety is impacting your life.

If you see yourself in any of these descriptions, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to face anxiety by yourself. Therapy can help you understand your triggers, calm your body’s stress response, and create practical tools to handle whatever comes your way.
