Understanding Anxiety
Feeling some anxiety can be a typical part of life. It is a byproduct of living in a busy world. However, there is a difference between everyday anxiety and anxiety disorders. Feeling anxious about something new or stressful is one thing, but when it becomes uncontrollable or excessive and starts to affect your quality of life, it could be a disorder.
Regardless of which anxiety disorder a person struggles with, anxiety disorders can interfere with a person’s ability to live a healthy and fulfilling life. At Frinz Care, our team of professionals is experienced in working with individuals who are struggling with anxiety to build a strong foundation for healing and recovery.

Anxiety Therapy Approaches
Recognizing that anxiety affects individuals differently, our mental health professionals collaborate with you to create a customized treatment plan. This plan addresses the unique aspects of your anxiety and provides care that suits your condition.
Therapeutic treatments for anxiety aim to help individuals manage and alleviate their symptoms, improve their quality of life, and build effective coping strategies. Here are some common therapeutic approaches for treating anxiety:
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is one of the most widely used and effective therapies for anxiety. It focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and beliefs that contribute to anxiety. Through CBT, individuals learn to replace irrational thoughts with more rational and balanced thinking, leading to reduced anxiety.
- Exposure Therapy: Exposure therapy is particularly useful for specific phobias and certain anxiety disorders. It involves gradual and controlled exposure to anxiety-inducing situations or objects, helping individuals confront their fears and gradually reduce their anxiety responses.
- Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): MBSR incorporates mindfulness meditation and relaxation techniques to help individuals become more aware of their thoughts and feelings, allowing them to respond to anxiety in a non-judgmental and calm manner.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT encourages individuals to accept their anxiety and focus on values-based actions. It teaches mindfulness skills to help individuals detach from their anxious thoughts and engage in meaningful activities.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, DBT includes components like emotion regulation and distress tolerance, which can be helpful for managing anxiety.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT): IPT focuses on improving interpersonal relationships and communication skills, which can alleviate anxiety related to social interactions and relationships.
- Relaxation Techniques: Relaxation methods such as deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, and guided imagery can help individuals manage acute anxiety symptoms.
- Medication Management: In cases of severe or debilitating anxiety, medications like antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications may be prescribed by a psychiatrist. Medications are often used in conjunction with therapy.
- Group Therapy: Group therapy can provide a supportive and empathetic environment where individuals with anxiety can share experiences, learn from others, and practice social interactions.
The choice of therapy may depend on the specific anxiety disorder, the individual’s preferences, and the recommendations of our mental health professional. Often, a combination of therapies and interventions is used to address the multifaceted nature of anxiety.
