Anxiety Therapy

Practical strategies and therapeutic support to manage anxiety and regain control of your life.

Anxiety can feel overwhelming, making it difficult to focus, sleep, or enjoy daily life. If you're constantly worrying, feeling on edge, or experiencing physical symptoms like a racing heart or tightness in your chest, you're not alone. Anxiety is one of the most common mental health concerns, and it is highly treatable.

Understanding Anxiety

Anxiety is your body's natural response to stress, but when it becomes persistent and interferes with your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Common types of anxiety include:

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Persistent, excessive worry about everyday things
  • Social Anxiety: Intense fear of social situations and being judged
  • Panic Disorder: Sudden, intense episodes of fear with physical symptoms
  • Phobias: Intense fear of specific objects or situations
  • Performance Anxiety: Fear and worry related to performing tasks or being evaluated

How Therapy Can Help

At Cartwright Counseling, we use evidence-based approaches to help you understand and manage your anxiety. Through therapy, you can learn to identify triggers, develop coping strategies, challenge negative thought patterns, and build resilience against future anxiety.

We also offer EMDR therapy, which can be particularly effective for anxiety rooted in past experiences or trauma.

Performance Anxiety in Professionals

High-achieving professionals often experience performance anxiety that significantly impacts career advancement and professional relationships. At Cartwright Counseling, we specialize in helping professionals manage performance anxiety through targeted therapy addressing both physical symptoms and underlying thought patterns.

If performance anxiety is connected to burnout, we can address the underlying exhaustion. Learn more about burnout recovery to understand how these conditions often overlap.

Social anxiety is the intense fear of social situations and being negatively evaluated by others. Whether you struggle with public speaking or everyday interactions, social anxiety therapy can help you build confidence.
