Anxiety Treatment & Counseling in Florida
When to Seek Help for Anxiety
It’s normal to experience some level of fear, nervousness, or worry in response to stressful situations. This is part of your brain and body’s natural reaction to potential danger, helping you stay safe. However, if anxiety begins to fell less manageable, occur more frequently, and/or interfere with your daily life, it may be time to seek professional help.
Signs You May Need Anxiety Treatment
While occasional anxiety is natural, consider seeking professional anxiety treatment if you experience any of the following:
-
Overwhelming or unmanageable fear, worry, or nervousness
-
Anxiety occurring outside of real or anticipated danger
-
Symptoms that do not go away or worsen over time
-
Panic attacks or feelings of intense fear
-
Difficulty doing things you normally enjoy or performing at your best due to anxiety
If these symptoms sound familiar, it’s likely that your anxiety has developed into clinical anxiety, which may require specialized treatment. Learn more about clinical anxiety disorders and how they can affect your life.
Effective Anxiety Treatment:
Counseling for Lasting Relief
Anxiety is highly treatable with the right treatment plan. At Stone Counseling & Consulting Services, we offer anxiety counseling and therapy designed to help you manage and reduce your anxiety.
​
Through therapy, we will work together to:
-
Identify the underlying causes of your anxiety
-
Address anxiety triggers and sources of distress
-
Use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based treatment, to challenge and reframe anxiety-producing thoughts
-
Learn stress management, relaxation techniques, and mindfulness skills to help you stay calm and focused
With professional anxiety therapy, you will achieve lasting results, rather than just "quick fixes," and gain the tools to manage your anxiety long-term. Our goal is to empower you to regain control and improve your quality of life.
Medication for Anxiety: When It Might Be Helpful
While therapy is the primary treatment for anxiety, medication can be used in conjunction with counseling for additional support. Anti-anxiety medications may help reduce symptoms of anxiety, such as panic attacks, and could enhance your progress in therapy. Medication may be used short-term or long-term, depending on your needs.
If necessary, I can refer you to trusted local psychiatrists who can assess whether medication is right for you and help develop an appropriate treatment plan.
