    FAQ’s about Anxiety Treatment

    What is cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and how does it help with anxiety?

    -

    Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is a type of therapy that focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviours. In the case of anxiety, CBT can help individuals learn to identify their triggers, develop coping skills, and reframe negative thoughts to reduce anxiety symptoms. CBT is often considered a first-line treatment for anxiety and has been shown to be effective in managing symptoms.

    How long does anxiety treatment usually take?

    The duration of anxiety treatment can vary depending on the individual and the type of treatment being used. Some people may see improvements in their symptoms after just a few therapy sessions, while others may require more long-term treatment. It’s important to be patient and committed to the treatment process, as it can take time to see significant improvements in symptoms. Our professionals at Guiding Light Psychology can provide more guidance on what to expect during your treatment journey.
