What Types of Anxiety Do We Treat?

​

Anxiety doesn’t look the same for everyone. At our clinic, we treat a wide range of anxiety and anxiety-related disorders, including:

• Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) – persistent worry about everyday things

• Phobias and Specific Fears – such as fear of flying, heights, driving, etc.

• Agoraphobia – fear of being in situations where escape may be difficult

• Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) – like skin picking or hair pulling

• General Anxiety – when you're feeling on edge, tense, or overly alert most days

We understand that anxiety can be confusing, frustrating, and exhausting. That’s why we approach treatment with a deep respect for your lived experience - while offering strategies that are both effective and empowering.

Our Holistic Approach to Treating Anxiety

Healing from anxiety involves more than just “thinking differently.” We treat anxiety holistically, addressing the full picture - your brain, body, emotions, and behaviors.

Our therapists combine modern neuroscience with a range of therapeutic methods, including:

• Cognitive strategies to challenge anxious thought patterns

• Behavioral tools such as exposure therapy to reduce avoidance

• Somatic approaches that help your nervous system feel safe again

• Mindfulness and body-based techniques to calm the fight-or-flight response

This whole-person model means we don’t just treat symptoms—we help you build lasting resilience.

The Three Components of Anxiety

Understanding how anxiety works can be the first step toward change. Anxiety disorders typically involve three interconnected components:

1. Distorted Thought Patterns – like catastrophizing or overestimating danger

2. Physical Activation (Fight-or-Flight) – rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, muscle tension

3. Behavioral Avoidance – avoiding people, places, or situations that trigger anxiety

At BrainBody Wellness Counseling, our anxiety therapists address all three areas in treatment. We want to help you feel more in control - not just in the moment, but long-term.

Evidence-Based Therapies We Use

Our therapists are trained in a wide range of approaches, including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – to reframe anxious thinking

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – to regulate emotions and increase coping

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) – for anxiety tied to trauma

• Internal Family Systems (IFS) – to explore inner conflicts and promote self-leadership

You don’t need to know which approach is best for you—we’ll figure that out together. Your treatment plan will be personalized to meet your specific needs and goals.

You Don’t Have to Live with Constant Anxiety

Living with anxiety can take a toll on your relationships, your career, and your sense of self. But with the right support, change is possible.
