Anxiety & Panic Therapy
Anxiety doesn't have to control your life. Our compassionate therapists help you understand your anxiety, develop effective coping strategies, and reclaim your sense of calm and confidence.
What Are Anxiety and Panic Disorders?
Anxiety disorders are mental health conditions characterized by persistent, excessive worry or fear that interferes with daily activities. Unlike normal stress, clinical anxiety doesn't resolve on its own and often worsens without treatment. When anxiety becomes overwhelming, it can manifest as panic attacks; sudden episodes of intense fear accompanied by racing heart, shortness of breath, and a feeling of losing control.
At Anew Path, we understand that anxiety looks different for everyone. Some people experience constant worry, while others face sudden, intense panic attacks. Some struggle with specific fears or social situations, while others feel anxious without any clear trigger.
Whatever form your anxiety takes, you don't have to face it alone. Our therapists specialize in helping people like you break free from the grip of anxiety and build a life where you feel calm, confident, and in control.

Frequently Asked Questions About Anxiety Therapy
How long does anxiety therapy take?
The length of anxiety therapy varies by individual. Many people notice improvement within 8 to 16 sessions of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), though some benefit from longer-term support. Your therapist at Anew Path will work with you to set goals and regularly assess progress.
Does insurance cover anxiety therapy?
Yes, most insurance plans cover therapy for anxiety disorders. Anew Path accepts BCBS PPO, Aetna, and Optum. We also offer self-pay options. Contact us to verify your specific coverage before your first appointment.
What happens during a panic attack therapy session?
During a session focused on panic attacks, your therapist will help you understand your panic triggers, teach breathing and grounding techniques, and gradually introduce exposure exercises. The goal is to reduce the frequency and intensity of panic attacks so they no longer control your life.
Can anxiety be treated without medication?
Yes. Evidence-based therapies like CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness training are highly effective for anxiety without medication. Many clients at Anew Path see significant improvement through therapy alone, though some choose to combine therapy with medication prescribed by their physician.
Is telehealth effective for anxiety therapy?
Research shows that telehealth therapy is as effective as in-person sessions for treating anxiety disorders. Anew Path offers both in-person and virtual sessions so you can receive care in whichever setting feels most comfortable for you.
