Understanding Anxiety Counseling

Anxiety counseling is for helping people to manage their worries and fears in a safe environment. The aim is to get more insights into what it’s like to live with anxiety so that we can reduce its effects and live our lives more normally. Common treatments include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which involves changing your negative thought patterns, and practices that involve relaxing via the practice of mindfulness. A generalized anxiety disorder is where you are overly concerned about a number of dimensions in everyday life. Social anxiety causes you to feel fearful just talking to people in everyday situations, while people who suffer from panic disorders have overwhelming, and sometimes overwhelming, fear and physical symptoms all at once. We teach people coping strategies, build their ability to deal with their fears, and build their confidence. If you are being kept out by anxiety, getting help is a good start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Counseling might be of use if you’re suffering from intense anxiety, chronic sadness, or not able to manage the usual hurdles of day-to-day living. These include trouble managing emotions, changes in sleep or appetite, or feeling isolated. If you’re unsure, you always want to seek help.
During your first session, you’ll meet with a therapist who will ask questions about your background and current challenges and make an assessment of what you’d like to achieve from counseling. It’s an opportunity for you to speak and listen to other women about what you have done and want to do in an environment without fear of judgment.
The amount of sessions varies from one person to another. Depending on the condition, some will feel better after a couple of sessions, while others will find ongoing support over time is needed. Your therapist will put together a plan with you that’s going to work for you and your goals.
Counseling sessions are indeed confidential. The only things your therapist won’t talk to others about are specific things to keep you safe. This confidentiality enables us to create an environment where you can freely talk about your problems without judging them.
Most of the time, insurance will cover the counseling services, but this can change. It’s always best to run this by your insurance provider to understand exactly what your benefits are and what requirements are present for being covered. Our team can also help you guide through this process.
