What Anxiety Therapy at Sonder Counseling Helps With
Anxiety is more than simply worrying. It's a nervous system that has learned to stay on high alert, even when you're safe. Anxiety can affect your thoughts, emotions, physical health, relationships, work, school, and overall quality of life.
Therapy can help if you're struggling with:
Not being able to stop worrying, no matter how hard you try.
Having panic attacks, or constantly being afraid another one will happen.
Feeling afraid that people are judging you every time you leave the house or talk to someone.
Constantly thinking something is wrong with your health, even when doctors say you’re okay.
A mind that never slows down and can't seem to relax.
Fear of making mistakes or not being good enough.
Lack of sleep because your brain won't stop thinking.
Constant muscle tension, stomach problems, headaches, or a racing heart.
Who Anxiety Therapy Is For
Adults
Many adults spend years believing they're simply "overthinkers." They constantly analyze conversations, struggle to relax, avoid situations that create anxiety, or carry overwhelming pressure to do everything perfectly.
Therapy helps adults reduce chronic worry, manage panic symptoms, improve relationships, establish healthier boundaries, and regain confidence in everyday life.
Teens
Anxiety often looks different in teenagers than adults. It may show up as irritability, school avoidance, perfectionism, social withdrawal, panic before tests, or overwhelming pressure to succeed.
Therapy provides teens with practical coping skills while giving them a supportive space where they don't have to pretend everything is okay.
Children
Children frequently express anxiety through behavior rather than words. They may become clingy, avoid school, experience stomachaches, struggle with transitions, or have emotional outbursts when they feel overwhelmed.
Our therapists use age-appropriate strategies to help children understand their emotions, build confidence, and develop healthy coping skills.
Parents
Watching your child struggle with anxiety can feel heartbreaking and exhausting. We partner with parents by providing practical strategies to support anxious children at home while helping caregivers better understand what anxiety looks like across different stages of development.
How We Treat Anxiety
No two people experience anxiety in exactly the same way. That's why therapy begins with understanding your individual experiences, strengths, and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Your therapist may integrate evidence-based approaches including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)- CBT helps identify anxious thought patterns, challenge unhelpful beliefs, reduce avoidance behaviors, and build healthier ways of responding to stress.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)- ACT teaches you how to make room for anxious thoughts without allowing them to control your decisions, helping you live according to your values instead of your fears.
Somatic Therapy- Because anxiety lives in both the mind and body, somatic approaches help calm the nervous system, increase body awareness, and reduce chronic physical tension.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy- Mindfulness helps you notice anxious thoughts without becoming consumed by them while improving emotional regulation and present-moment awareness.
Because anxiety often overlaps with depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, relationship concerns, and life transitions, therapy also addresses the deeper patterns contributing to ongoing distress.
What Makes Our Approach Different
We understand anxiety as a response shaped by your nervous system, life experiences, relationships, and environment. Rather than simply teaching coping techniques, we help you understand why anxiety developed in the first place while building practical skills that create lasting change.
Our therapists provide compassionate, collaborative care that respects your pace, your experiences, and your goals.
We are committed to providing affirming care for LGBTQ+ clients, neurodivergent individuals, veterans, and people from diverse backgrounds.
