Understanding Anxiety
Anxiety is a common mental health concern that can affect your daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. While it’s normal to feel anxious occasionally, persistent or intense anxiety may signal an anxiety disorder. Common symptoms include:
- Excessive worry or fear
- Avoidant behaviors
- Restlessness or feeling on edge
- Difficulty concentrating
- Sleep disturbances
- Physical symptoms such as muscle tension, rapid heartbeat, or stomach discomfort
Common Types of Anxiety We Treat
Our therapists are skilled in treating various types of anxiety, including:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Persistent worry about everyday situations.
Social Anxiety Disorder: Intense fear of social interactions or performance situations.
Panic Disorder: Recurrent, unexpected panic attacks.
Phobias: Irrational fears of specific objects or situations, such as flying or heights.
Health Anxiety: Obsessive worry about health or illness.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Anxiety following a traumatic event.
Evidence-Based Therapies for Anxiety
At Behavioral Health Direct, we use proven approaches to help you regain control and find relief:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and develop healthier ways to cope with anxiety. This structured approach is effective for reducing symptoms and improving emotional well-being.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
ERP is especially effective for OCD and phobias. This therapy involves gradual exposure to anxiety-provoking situations while resisting compulsive behaviors, helping you build confidence and reduce fear.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT focuses on accepting difficult emotions rather than fighting them. Through mindfulness and values-based action, ACT helps you build a meaningful life even in the presence of anxiety.
