Psychotherapy is a great resource for anxiety. There are a number of different approaches to manage and alleviate anxiety through therapy. The integration of new tools and strategies for "in the moment" anxiety reduction paired with tools that are meant to aid in regulation of your central nervous system for ongoing anxiety management are most helpful. Some therapists will use CBT or DBT, some will use mindfulness-based stress reduction strategies, some might use EMDR or Internal Family Systems, and many will use a combination of approaches. How a therapist selects an intervention should be tied to how your anxiety presents and from where it stems (situational or "I've always been an overthinker.") If your anxiety is connected to trauma, please be sure to look for a trauma-informed therapist!
