What is anxiety?
Anxiety is a mental health condition that everyone experiences differently. You might feel worried, be avoidant, and overthink. You might experience physiological changes: heart palpitations, increased blood pressure, sweating, or feeling tense.
These feelings may happen intermittently or throughout the day. Or your anxiety may be situational and triggered by moments with family, social settings, flights, work situations, while public speaking, or in other specific environments.
We can help pinpoint the source of your anxiety and provide a correct diagnosis, such as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety, panic disorder, or specific phobia-related disorders. We work with you to develop an evidence-based, individualized treatment plan that will work for your needs and goals.
For those living with anxiety, finding ways to better manage it and feel calmer can be life changing, and we are here to help make that happen.
Types of anxiety
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) or Chronic anxiety
With GAD, you may experience daily anxiety (that may or may not be associated with a specific trigger) that interferes with your lifestyle and happiness.
Social anxiety disorder
You may feel embarrassed in social situations, and that may cause you to avoid connections and moments where you would be around others. Social anxiety can be debilitating and lonely.
Panic disorders
You might experience panic attacks. Some symptoms include heart palpitations and labored breathing. These moments are intense and can feel frightening. Panic attacks are often unprovoked, uncomfortable, or feel like you are losing control, even in stable conditions.
Testing anxiety
You may experience overwhelming apprehension and distress, specifically during exams. This specific form of anxiety can create a vicious cycle where the fear of poor performance actually contributes to lower test scores, regardless of your knowledge or abilities.
Anxiety symptoms and signs
Anxiety symptoms you may experience include:
- Poor concentration, hyperventilation, or stammering.
- Racing and cyclical thought patterns.
- Mood changes, nervousness, and overthinking.
- Tense muscles and sweaty hands.
- Tiredness, restlessness, or feeling on edge.
- Feeling controlled by fear, and avoiding situations that provoke symptoms.
- Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.

Our treatment philosophy
At Clear Behavioral Health, our treatment philosophy focuses on individualized care that combines therapy, medication, and support to promote lasting recovery and emotional well-being.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy provides a safe space to explore the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that impact mental health.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you identify and change negative thought patterns that impact mood and behavior, offering effective coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.
Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT)
A therapy that combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness and acceptance strategies to help you manage anxiety, regulate emotions, and enhance coping skills in difficult situations.
EMDR
EMDR helps you process traumatic memories and reduce anxiety by using guided eye movements to reframe negative thoughts and emotions.
Exposure therapy
Exposure therapy helps reduce fear and anxiety by gradually exposing you to triggers in a safe environment, aiding in the treatment of phobias, PTSD, and anxiety-related disorders.
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT)
MBCT combines mindfulness practices with cognitive therapy techniques, teaching you to observe thoughts without judgment and prevent relapse of depression or anxiety.
Gestalt therapy
Gestalt therapy focuses on increasing awareness of the present moment, helping you understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related to your anxiety to help foster emotional healing and personal growth.
Somatic therapy
Somatic therapy addresses the mind-body connection, using physical techniques to release tension and trauma, helping you achieve emotional healing and relaxation.
Medications
SSRIs and SNRIs help treat depression and anxiety by balancing brain chemicals. Benzodiazepines calm the central nervous system to reduce anxiety and insomnia. Beta-blockers are mainly used for heart conditions but can also ease physical anxiety symptoms. Pregabalin and Buspirone are additional medications that help manage anxiety and related conditions.

Get answers to common questions about anxiety treatment.

Anxiety attacks affect you both physically and mentally.

Read more about anxiety on our blog.
What’s the best therapy for anxiety?
The best therapy for anxiety is determined by your specific symptoms. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Somatic Therapy are evidence-based therapy methods proven to reduce anxiety. Our programs include these methods and more.
What are the top medications for anxiety?
The best medication for your anxiety is best discussed with your doctor. Depending on your symptoms you may be prescribed benzodiazepines, beta-blockers, SNRIs or SSRIs. You may also take a more holistic approach to learning helpful coping strategies for anxiety.
What are the types of anxiety disorders?
Anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, phobias, separation anxiety, and many others, such as agoraphobia or selective mutism. Each type has distinct features, but they all involve excessive fear or worry.
What causes anxiety?
Anxiety can be caused by many things – genetics, biological and environmental stressors, and psychological factors all play a role. Many of those in treatment for anxiety have commonalities related to stress, trauma, brain chemistry, family history, and certain medical conditions.
How can I tell if my loved one is experiencing severe anxiety?
Signs of severe anxiety include constant worry that disrupts daily life, avoidance of activities, panic attacks, or physical complaints that seem to have no medical cause. If your loved one exhibits these symptoms or seems overwhelmed, withdrawn, or emotionally reactive, anxiety disorders may be contributing.
Panic attacks can be scary – when you’re having them or witnessing them. Stay calm and speak reassuringly. Encourage slow breathing and remind them that the attack will pass. Avoid arguing or telling them to “calm down.” Stay with them until the attack subsides, or seek medical attention if symptoms worsen.
How common are anxiety disorders?
Nearly one in five (20%) of adults in the U.S. are affected by an anxiety disorder each year. Anxiety disorders are one of the most common mental health conditions.
How are anxiety disorders diagnosed?
Licensed mental health professionals evaluate symptoms through interviews, questionnaires, and medical history. Since anxiety affects everyone at various periods in life, diagnosis is usually a matter of assessing degree & severity, not presence or lack of symptoms whatsoever. There are a variety of screenings and rubrics used to inform a professional diagnosis.
