When Anxiety Therapy Becomes the Right Next Step
When anxiety starts affecting your relationships, work, or daily routine, therapy becomes essential. Anxiety therapy involves regular sessions with a trained therapist who helps you explore what’s driving your worry through proven therapies. In a safe space, you can understand the cause of your anxiety, practice new coping skills, and develop healthier stress responses.
Why Choose Rebuilding Mental Health
Before we suggest a plan, we sit down, ask questions, and get to know your symptoms, history, and hopes. This informs your treatment plan.
Proven approaches help you stop harmful thought spirals and manage difficult feelings. Group therapy and family therapy strengthen connections and support.
For many, anxiety may be one of multiple co-occurring disorders, such as ADHD, PTSD, or OCD. We address all conditions at once for lasting relief.
As your anxiety improves, we help you map out the next step to maintain progress. This can be a lower level of care or our aftercare program.

What Can Cause Anxiety to Develop?
There isn’t a single cause of anxiety. For some people, it runs in the family. For others, it’s tied to trauma, health issues, big changes, or long-term stress. Often, it’s a mix of biological, environmental, and past factors.
Anxiety disorders are one of the most common mental health conditions experienced in the US. Annually, 19.1% of Americans experience an anxiety disorder. However, only 1 in 4 people receive treatment. This highlights the importance of proper anxiety support.
Common Anxiety Symptoms
If you or a loved one has anxiety-related concerns, you might notice:
- A racing heart or tight chest
- Feeling restless, jumpy, or “on edge” most of the time
- Trouble focusing or feeling like your thoughts won’t slow down
- Problems falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up tired
- Tense muscles, stomach issues, headaches, or shakiness
- Avoiding certain situations, people, or places because of fear
An Overview of Anxiety Disorder Types
Different types of anxiety respond better to different treatments, so figuring out what you’re dealing with helps us design the right plan:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Ongoing worry about everyday life
Health or Illness Anxiety: Concerns focused on health or medical matters
Panic Disorder: Repeated panic attacks with strong physical symptoms
Social Anxiety Disorder: Fear of social situations or being judged
Phobias: Intense fear of specific situations or objects
Managing Anxiety With Medication and Therapy
Depending on your needs and goals, we tailor a treatment plan that blends approaches, such as:
Anti-Anxiety Meds
For some people, medication management can help make anxiety symptoms more manageable. We look at your history, explain options, and track your progress.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
With CBT, you learn to notice anxious thinking patterns, test them against reality, and try new responses. It allows you to learn small coping tools to use between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Our DBT is useful when anxiety comes with intense emotions. You learn skills for staying present, tolerating distress, and talking about needs constructively.
Didactic and Holistic Therapy
In didactic therapy, your clinician teaches you about how anxiety works. Holistic treatments connect your mind, body, and spirit for whole-person wellness.

FAQs
Will I have to stay on anxiety medication forever?
Not necessarily. Some people use anxiety medication for a short period; others stay on it longer. Decisions are made with you, based on your goals and how you’re feeling.
Panic attack vs. anxiety attack: what’s the difference?
A panic attack comes on suddenly with strong physical symptoms like a racing heart, shaking, or feeling like you can’t breathe. An anxiety attack builds more gradually and is tied to ongoing worry or stress.
Is there an anxiety test I can take?
There’s no single test, but screening tools and questionnaires can help identify symptoms. Our licensed clinicians can give a full evaluation to confirm what you’re experiencing and recommend next steps.
What does anxiety feel like?
Anxiety can feel like tension in your chest, racing thoughts, restlessness, or constant “what if” worries. For some people, it includes irritability or trouble concentrating. Others describe it as a feeling of being on edge, even when nothing is wrong.
Can anxiety cause chest pain?
Yes. Anxiety can create muscle tension, rapid breathing, or spikes of stress that lead to chest tightness or discomfort. It’s important to get medical care if you’re unsure whether it’s anxiety or something else.
What is high-functioning anxiety?
High-functioning anxiety describes people who appear put-together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stressed, or constantly worried on the inside. They may perform well at work or school but feel drained or tense most of the time.
