Anxiety is a common mental health challenge that can significantly impact daily life. At Stonebridge Counseling, we understand the complexities of anxiety and offer a range of evidence-based therapy techniques to help individuals manage their symptoms and improve their overall well-being. Whether you're struggling with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, or panic disorder, our experienced therapists are here to provide compassionate support and effective treatment strategies. We offer services such as telehealth therapy, trauma therapy, anxiety therapy, and teen therapy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a widely recognized and highly effective therapy for anxiety. It focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety. Our therapists at Stonebridge Counseling use CBT to help clients:

• Recognize and challenge anxious thoughts

• Develop coping mechanisms for managing anxiety-provoking situations

• Practice relaxation techniques to reduce physical symptoms of anxiety

• Gradually expose themselves to feared situations in a safe and controlled environment

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT is another evidence-based therapy that can be helpful for anxiety. It emphasizes accepting anxious thoughts and feelings without judgment and committing to actions that align with one's values. Our therapists at Stonebridge Counseling use ACT to help clients:

• Develop psychological flexibility

• Learn to accept anxious thoughts and feelings without struggling against them

• Identify and clarify their values

• Take action towards their goals, even in the presence of anxiety

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness-based therapy involves cultivating awareness of the present moment without judgment. This can be helpful for reducing anxiety by allowing individuals to observe their thoughts and feelings without getting carried away by them. Our therapists at Stonebridge Counseling use mindfulness-based techniques to help clients:

• Practice mindfulness meditation

• Develop awareness of their thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations

• Learn to respond to anxiety with greater calm and clarity

Other Techniques

In addition to CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based therapy, our therapists at Stonebridge Counseling may also use other techniques to help clients manage anxiety, such as:

• Relaxation techniques (e.g., deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation)

• Exposure therapy

• Stress management techniques
