Anxiety Management 

We utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) strategies to help clients recognize, adapt to, and overcome their anxious feelings. We work with clients who have anxiety coupled with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as well as clients who are solely experiencing anxiety. Research has shown that CBT is effective in treating generalized anxiety, specific phobias, panic disorder, and other forms of anxiety either with or without the use of medication. 

​

CBT uses techniques such as thought-stopping techniques, positive thinking, and coping skills to teach clients how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all connected to each other and how together, they can maintain levels of anxiety. We will work together to harness the power of thoughts in order to lower anxiety to a more manageable level. Additionally, clients will learn how to do stepwise, or gradual exposure, to anxious triggers in order to reduce the long-term anxiety that is experienced when faced with an anxiety-provoking situation.
