Counseling for Anxiety
Is anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try? Have you already tried therapy but found it ineffective?
If this sounds like you, I’m confident I can help. Vitality Life Counseling of San Antonio offers the most effective forms of treatment, to get the relief from anxiety that you deserve.
Symptoms of Anxiety
Anxiety disorders can manifest in various ways, affecting different aspects of your life. For some, anxiety may be triggered by social situations, leading to social anxiety disorder, where even simple interactions can cause intense fear and self-consciousness. Others might experience generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), characterized by excessive, uncontrollable worry about everyday things. No matter the type or intensity of anxiety, tailored therapeutic approaches can offer significant improvements. Some of the most common symptoms of anxiety include:
- Nervousness, restlessness or being tense
- Feelings of danger, panic or dread
- Rapid breathing or hyperventilation
- Increased or heavy sweating
- Trembling or muscle twitching
- Weakness or lethargy
- Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than the thing you’re worried about
- Insomnia
- Obsessions about certain ideas, a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder
- Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or experience that has occurred in the past, a sign of post-traumatic stress disorder
Therapy as a Solution
When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy – as opposed to anxiety medication – treats as a whole more than just symptoms to the problem. Therapy can help to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, learn how to relax, look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.
At Vitality Life Counseling, I employ a variety of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. Mindfulness-based therapies are also effective in helping individuals stay grounded in the present moment, reducing the overall impact of anxiety.
Additionally, I understand that each person’s experience with anxiety is unique. Therefore, I offer personalized treatment plans that address your specific needs and goals. Vitality Life Counseling of San Antonio provides safe and supportive environment where you can openly discuss your concerns and work towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.
CBT is an approach used to treat depression and anxiety.
