Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Anxiety

in our Kensington, MD office or online

 

This page is about CBT for adult anxiety. For information about treating anxiety in kids and teens, see our child therapy, teen therapy, and SPACE treatment pages.

Our thoughts are very powerful. Thoughts lead our actions. Often, we get stuck in our own heads. Patterns of negative or unhelpful thinking make us feel worse instead of better.  

But is it anxiety? And doesn’t everyone have anxiety these days? YES. We all experience anxiety in life. When we have a big presentation or event coming up. When our child starts school. When facing something new. So when is it too much?

SIGNS YOU MAY HAVE TOO MUCH ANXIETY:

  • You’re restless or tense.

  • Your thoughts of worry smother your thinking.

  • You’re having trouble sleeping.

  • You have an impending sense of danger, doom, or panic.

  • You’re sweating, trembling, or your heart is racing (while at rest).

  • You stay inside to avoid triggering your anxiety.

  • These feelings are making it hard to work, parent, or enjoy life.

The great news is that anxiety is highly treatable. One of the leading methods for treating it is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).

Our therapists are experts in cognitive-behavioral therapy. CBT is a process of identifying how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors intertwine to cause trouble. Your CBT therapist will help you identify and change the thinking patterns that keep you stuck. And free you up to live your best life.
