Anxiety therapy in raleigh nc with relatable therapists. Reduce your anxiety and learn to cope.

Anxiety Therapy

Raleigh, NC and virtually.

Are you tired of feeling anxious, stressed, and overwhelmed? Struggling to feel present with friends and family?

Our North Carolina-based therapists specialize in helping clients overcome anxiety, overthinking, racing thoughts, and overwhelm, in order to live a fulfilling, value-driven life.

We get to the root cause of what is maintaining your anxiety, and often, it’s not what you might expect.

The good news is that anxiety is very treatable. Many people don’t realize just how many treatment options there actually are for anxiety. We tailor our approach to the individual client because every presentation and underlying cause of anxiety is different.

We use a combination of Somatic Experiencing, CBT, DBT, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Exposure Response Prevention, and Mindfulness techniques to treat anxiety symptoms. We’ll also advocate for alternative therapies such as chiropractic, massage, yoga, and acupuncture, as we believe in the mind/body integration when it comes to overcoming anxiety.

Together we will explore your experiences, behaviors, and beliefs. With the benefit of fresh insight and nervous system regulation, you will be able to identify patterns that are holding you back from health and happiness while gaining the strength and coping strategies to overcome them.

We offer flexible scheduling and both in-person and virtual appointment availability, because we want therapy to be as accessible, convenient, and comfortable for you as possible.

What Anxiety Can Look Like

Anxiety can show up in many different ways. Some may feel constant worry or dread, while others struggle with panic attacks, irritability, or physical symptoms like tension or insomnia. You may find yourself overthinking conversations, feeling like you can’t turn the spiraling thoughts in your brain off, or avoiding all situations that make you feel uncomfortable. 

Sometimes anxiety looks like perfectionism, difficulty making decisions, or intense self-criticism. You might feel pressure to always be “on,” or like you can’t relax without guilt. Others experience anxiety through a racing heart, shallow breathing, or digestive issues. Even joyful events can trigger stress or fear of something going wrong. The truth is, anxiety isn’t just in your head—it lives in your body, too. That’s why our approach addresses both the mental and physical components of anxiety.

Common issues addressed in anxiety therapy include:

Life transitions
Relationships
Identity Exploration
Insomnia
Boundary-setting

Perfectionism
Self-esteem
Work/Life balance
Trauma
Communication 

These issues often overlap, which is why our therapy is designed to treat the whole person—not just a list of symptoms.

Signs You Might Benefit From Anxiety Therapy

Not sure if anxiety therapy is right for you?

You might benefit from working with one of our therapists in Raleigh, NC or online if you:

✔ Feel overwhelmed or stressed more often than not

✔ Have difficulty falling or staying asleep due to racing thoughts

✔ Avoid people, places, or tasks because of fear or discomfort

✔ Experience frequent physical symptoms (headaches, muscle tension, stomach issues)

✔ Constantly overthink, second-guess yourself, or fear making the wrong choice

✔ Feel like your anxiety is interfering with your work, relationships, or daily routines

✔ Use distractions (social media, substances, etc.) to numb anxiety

✔ Struggle to feel present, even in joyful moments

If any of these sound familiar, anxiety therapy can help you feel more grounded, empowered, and in control.

What to Expect in Anxiety Therapy

  • A welcoming environment: Your first session is about comfort and connection. We will focus on making you feel safe and understood.

  • Discussion of your history and concerns: You will have the opportunity to share your experiences with anxiety, including when it started, how it affects your life, and what you hope to change.

  • Goal setting: Together, we will talk about what you want from therapy and begin creating a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your needs.

  • Exploring patterns and triggers: We will start identifying the thoughts, behaviors, physical symptoms, and nervous system responses that keep anxiety going.

  • Learning new coping strategies: You will begin to build tools to help calm your mind and body, set boundaries, and reduce anxious thinking.

  • Ongoing support and adjustments: As you grow, your therapist will check in about what is working and make changes to keep therapy effective and aligned with your goals.

Starting anxiety therapy might feel intimidating at first, especially if you are used to keeping feelings to yourself. We get it– taking that first step is brave.

Here’s what you can expect:

If you’ve never done therapy before, know that it’s okay to feel unsure at first. This is a space where your fears, questions, and goals are all welcome. Anxiety therapy isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about learning to face challenges with more confidence, calm, and clarity. We’ll be with you every step of the way as you build trust in yourself and your ability to handle life’s ups and downs.

How Anxiety Therapy Can Help

Anxiety therapy can help you gain control over the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that feel unmanageable right now. Often, anxiety convinces us that we're powerless. But, therapy is a reminder that you have tools and choices. When you begin working with a trained anxiety therapist, you're giving yourself the opportunity to feel more empowered, resilient, and at peace. Over time, many clients describe feeling more hopeful, present, and connected to themselves and others in meaningful ways. By developing awareness of how your anxiety operates, you can begin to respond differently, instead of reacting automatically out of fear or worry. Therapy gives you the chance to reclaim your voice, strengthen your sense of self, and learn that anxiety doesn’t get to be in charge of your life anymore.

  • Understand your anxiety triggers and where they come from

  • Learn and practice grounding techniques and reduce catastrophic thinking

  • Develop healthier thought patterns and reduce catastrophic thinking

  • Set and maintain boundaries that protect your energy and emotional wellbeing

  • Reconnect with your values and build a life aligned with what matters most

You can begin to:

Over time, anxiety therapy can help you feel more confident navigating everyday challenges. It’s about building a more compassionate relationship with yourself and learning that you don’t have to live in fear of what might go wrong. Relief is possible—and at Your Journey Through, we’re here to support you on that path.

Frequently Asked Questions

We know exploring counseling can feel overwhelming, so here are the answers to our most frequently asked questions. If you don’t see your question here, we are only a message away.

  • Therapy length of anxiety therapy depends on the person. Some individuals come in looking for solution-based therapy taking a few sessions, and others come in seeking a more long-term relationship to support their anxiety.

  • We will discuss the frequency of visits that best fits your needs. In general, we recommend beginning with weekly visits for the first month, and then evaluating progress and adjusting as we go. Your therapist will work with you to create a schedule that feels manageable and effective.

  • Not every therapeutic relationship is the right match — and that’s okay. Our approach is collaborative, flexible, and focused on what works best for you. If you’ve had a less-than-great experience in the past, we encourage you to give it another try. A different therapist or approach can make all the difference. At Your Journey Through, we focus on building a strong relationship, using personalized strategies, and trying new approaches if something isn’t working. Therapy should feel collaborative and adaptable.

  • Yes! For many people, virtual sessions offer the same benefits as in-person therapy with added convenience. Many of our clients appreciate the flexibility and comfort of attending sessions from home. As long as you have a private, quiet space, virtual therapy can be just as powerful. Our online teletherapy platform, SimplePractice, is secure and HIPAA-compliant, offering individual therapy to clients across North Carolina.

  • Absolutely. Our therapists work with individuals across the lifespan, and we have clinicians who specialize in teen anxiety, school-related stress, and identity development in emerging adulthood. See our teen therapy page for more information.
