Anxiety Therapy In Duluth, GA
In-person in Duluth, GA & online throughout the US
Has your anxiety started to overwhelm you?
Anxiety can look different for everyone. You might be experiencing:
Racing thoughts at night about everything you have to do, or replaying what you may have done or said wrong during the day
Physical symptoms like muscle tension, GI distress, or headaches
Panic attacks that leave you feeling out of control or like you might have a heart attack
Intrusive thoughts that are disturbing and distressing
Avoidance of social situations out of fear of being judged
Irritability or trouble making decisions
Your relationship could be suffering due to your stress and irritability. Perhaps you can’t stay focused and productive at work.
How Therapy For Anxiety Works
Going to therapy for anxiety can help you start to sleep through the night without racing thoughts, feel calm enough to be present with your partner, and stop second-guessing your decisions. Therapy will involve processing your feelings of anxiety while receiving active feedback and learning practical tools so you feel confident about managing your anxiety.
WHAT WE’LL DO TOGETHER
During therapy for anxiety, you will:
Explore the root of the problem
Before solving a problem, it is important to understand where it started and how it developed. When it comes to anxiety therapy, often this involves understanding when your anxiety started, what types of things trigger your anxiety, and also what types of beliefs you have developed over time that may be maintaining your anxiety.
Learn to cope with your anxiety
You are probably most interested in how you can start to feel better and less anxious. We will spend a lot of time in therapy focusing on how you can cope with feelings of anxiety when they come up as well as how you can cope with anxiety provoking situations, such as social situations or stressful conversations.
Improve your relationships
When you have anxiety, it is common to also have difficulty in your relationships with others. Therefore, often we will also focus on how you can improve your relationships. This can include working on communication skills, boundary setting, and how to manage having strong emotions (like anxiety) within relationships.

Common questions about anxiety therapy
-
For therapy sessions we will either meet online or in my office in Duluth, GA. In general, during therapy sessions we will talk about the issues that you are struggling with and focus on understanding both where these issues come from and ways that you can cope with your situation. We will discuss what you can do to decrease your symptoms and how you can improve your relationships. Prior to starting therapy, you can schedule a free 15 minute consultation with me, during which you can get a sense of what therapy sessions might be like.

You may have tried talking to your friends and family about how you’re feeling, only to find that it didn’t help you feel much better. When it comes to going to counseling for anxiety, you might wonder why talking to a complete stranger about your problems would help if talking to the people you are closest to didn’t help. Therapy can actually be helpful because you’re talking to someone you don’t know. You’re talking to someone who is not involved in your life and who can listen to you objectively. You don’t have to worry about listening to the therapist’s problems or about how what you’re talking about is going to impact the therapist. Also, when you are talking to someone who is not involved in your life, you can feel free to be open about everything you are experiencing. If you have found the right anxiety therapist, you shouldn’t feel judged for anything you talk about, and it’s pretty hard to shock a therapist–I’ve heard just about everything.

People often feel that they should be able to handle things on their own, without any help from others. This leads to them waiting to get therapy for anxiety until things have become unmanageable. We all need help sometimes, and there is no shame in reaching out for help when you are struggling. Even if you could manage to get through a difficult time on your own, it might be considerably less painful if you were to get some support for dealing with it. There’s no award for getting through hard times without asking for help, and it makes sense to take advantage of the resources that are available to you when you need them.

Therapy for anxiety is an investment, not only of money, but also of time and energy. My guess is that you’ve tried other things to improve your life, but that these things haven’t helped. Often people have been struggling for a long time, and have lost years of their life to their symptoms. It can be worth it to meet with an anxiety therapist who has been helping people for many years to see how much you may be able to improve with treatment.
