With so much going on in our day-to-day lives, it’s no wonder the need for anxiety therapy and treatment is at an all-time high. That being said, experiencing occasional anxiety is a normal part of life. However, people with anxiety disorders frequently have intense, excessive and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. Often, anxiety disorders involve repeated episodes of sudden feelings of intense anxiety and fear or terror that reach a peak within minutes (panic attacks).

These feelings of anxiety and panic interfere with daily activities, are difficult to control, are out of proportion to the actual danger and can last a long time. You may avoid places or situations to prevent these feelings. Symptoms may start during childhood or the teen years and continue into adulthood.

Examples of anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder (social phobia), specific phobias and separation anxiety disorder. You can have more than one anxiety disorder. Sometimes anxiety results from a medical condition that needs treatment.

Whatever form of anxiety you have, anxiety therapy can help. At Courageous Counseling and Consulting, we see patients struggling with anxiety and offer counseling-based services to help them combat these feelings. If you think you may be suffering from anxiety or an anxiety disorder, contact our office today and schedule an appointment. Teletherapy sessions are also available for those who are unable to come to our San Antonio office location.
