Research Backed Anxiety Treatments
Behavioral Health
Skills and Actions for Wellness
Anxiety affects sleep, focus, energy, and relationships—so treatment has to be practical, not just “talk about it.” At Empower Psychotherapy, we use evidence-based strategies to calm the body, reduce worry loops, and rebuild confidence in daily life. Together we’ll identify triggers, map your anxiety patterns, and practice skills you can use in real time.
Coping Skills
Find your Breath
When anxiety spikes, your nervous system goes into overdrive. We’ll practice fast, effective tools to calm the body first—breathing, grounding, and relaxation skills—so your mind can come back online. These strategies reduce intensity in the moment and make anxious waves easier to ride out.
Challenging Thoughts
Anxiety can be Convincing
Anxiety often shows up as worst-case predictions, “what if” spirals, and harsh self-criticism. We’ll learn to spot unhelpful thought patterns, test them with evidence, and create more balanced alternatives—without pretending everything is fine. The goal is realistic thinking that reduces fear and helps you make choices from clarity instead of panic.
Exposure
Approach Vs. Avoidance
Avoidance is anxiety’s favorite fuel: it brings relief now, but grows fear later. Exposure therapy helps you gradually face feared situations in a structured, supportive way so your brain relearns “I can handle this.” We’ll build an exposure plan step-by-step, use coping skills alongside it, and track progress as your comfort zone expands.
