Therapy for Anxiety
Build peace and resilience from the inside out.
Understanding Anxiety
Anxiety can make even the simplest parts of life feel overwhelming—your thoughts race, your body stays tense, and it’s hard to feel at ease no matter what you do. At White Oak Counseling, we help you understand what’s driving your anxiety and develop practical tools to calm your mind and body. Through evidence-based therapy and compassionate support, you can learn to navigate stress, uncertainty, and self-doubt with greater clarity, confidence, and peace.
Signs you may need therapy for anxiety:
When the anxious thoughts and feelings make it difficult to function day-to-day or enjoy your life, that’s when therapy can help. For example:
-
If you’re avoiding situations or settings that make you feel anxious at home, work, or school
-
If you’re struggling to participate in things, even activities you love, because of anxious thought patterns
-
If you’re having trouble sleeping or concentrating on tasks
-
If you’re experiencing significant distress in response to changes in plans or things not going tas expected
-
If you’re experiencing physical distress such as panic attacks, headaches, chronic pain, or digestive discomfort in situations or settings that make you anxious
-
If you’re struggling with maladaptive coping behaviors such as substance abuse or self-harm
-
If you’re having feelings of self-loathing or suicidal thoughts
How therapy can help treat anxiety:
We all experience anxiety at different points in our life, but when it becomes an acute experience that interferes with daily life, therapy can help.
Whether you struggle with perfectionism, social anxiety, or panic attacks (or all of the above), one of our therapists at White Oak can help you find a practical approach for reducing symptoms and healthy ways of coping, so that you can reconnect to that calm, confident part of yourself.
Our therapists draw from evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients manage unhelpful or unwanted thought patterns and develop new skills for responding to stress.
