A competent therapist for anxiety will have specialised training in treating anxiety disorders and will prioritise the establishment of a good therapeutic connection with their clients. They recognise that seeking help for anxiety is a sign of courage, not weakness.
Anxiety treatment options include a range of approaches such as SFBT, ACT, NLP, medication, and other therapies and techniques. SFBT focuses on solutions and building on existing strengths. ACT aims to accept unwanted thoughts and feelings and commit to valued actions. NLP seeks to reprogram the mind using specific techniques. Medication can be effective when integrated into an overall treatment plan. The choice of treatment depends on individual preferences, the nature of the anxiety, and the guidance of a mental health professional.
