Is anxiety keeping you in a constant state of worry, making it hard to feel present or at peace?

Anxiety Therapy

Anxiety can turn even the simplest moments into uphill climbs. Whether it’s racing thoughts, restlessness, or a lingering sense of dread, it can leave you feeling stuck inside your own mind. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

 

At MF Therapy, PLLC, I offer a safe, collaborative space where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin to feel more grounded.

What Does Anxiety Feel Like?

Anxiety doesn’t always appear the same way. You might notice:

  • Constant overthinking or looping thoughts

  • Difficulty sleeping or relaxing

  • A feeling of being “on edge” or hyper-aware

  • Muscle tension, chest tightness, or shallow breathing

  • Avoidance of people, places, or decisions

  • Feeling overwhelmed by even small tasks

  • A deep sense of fear that something bad will happen

 

Anxiety can be loud or quiet, physical or emotional. However it shows up, we’ll approach it together with curiosity and compassion.

What Is Anxiety Therapy?

Anxiety therapy focuses on helping clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, manage physical symptoms, and build coping skills.

 

  • Person-Centered: You set the pace and direction. We honor your story, your values, and your inner wisdom.

  • Relational: Healing happens through connection. Our work is grounded in trust, mutual respect, and collaboration.

  • Trauma-Informed: Anxiety often stems from past overwhelm or unresolved experiences. We’ll hold that gently, without judgment.

 

Therapy isn’t about pushing through. It’s about slowing down, tuning inward, and creating space for relief and choice.

Types of Anxiety Therapy

  • CBT & DBT: To reorganize negative thinking and regulate emotions

  • Mindfulness (MBCT): To stay grounded in the present moment

  • ART: For accelerated processing of trauma-related anxiety

  • Emotionally Focused & Person-Centered Approaches: To foster authentic self‑expression

  • Somatic Awareness – to reconnect with your body’s wisdom and release held tension or fear

 

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all method. It’s responsive, intuitive, and shaped by what feels supportive to you.
