Anxiety
Janet LeMoal
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CASAC (NYS)
Anxiety can show up in all kinds of ways—feeling nervous or on edge, like something bad might happen, even if you’re not sure why. Your heart might race, your breathing gets faster, and you might start sweating or trembling. It’s exhausting. Grounding and calming skills can help you stay in the moment and figure out what’s really going on—whether your fear is rooted in past trauma or your brain is reacting to something that isn’t actually a threat right now

Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
While Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) is highly effective in the treatment of anxiety disorders (e.g., Panic Disorder, Social Phobia, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), clinicians do see some “return of fear,” or partial relapse, in some patients due to a variety of factors. Over the past two decades, treatment researchers, with whom Dr. Jayson Mystkowski had the pleasure of working with at UCLA for over 10 years, have studied “return of fear” and discovered some key variables that may optimize the effects of learning during CBT for anxiety disorders (Craske et al., 2008).
First, evidence suggests that focusing on tolerating fear versus eliminating fear yields better clinical outcomes in the long term. Namely, teaching clients that fear and anxiety are normal feelings, rather than attempting to “down-regulate” such feelings all the time, is more realistic and seems to engender “hardier” clients. Second, helping clients to generate an expectancy that “scary things will not happen,” is very powerful. To do this, it is important for clinicians to create more complex exposure exercises (i.e., tasks in which a client confronts a stimulus of which they are afraid), using multiple feared stimuli instead of one at a time. Then, the lack of a feared outcome becomes particularly surprising and memorable for a client and fear reduction is more potent. Third, increasing the accessibility and retrievability of non-fear memories learned during treatment are powerful factors in mitigating against a return of fear. Craske and colleagues demonstrated that exposure to variations of a feared stimulus, using a random schedule across multiple contexts or situations, is more effective than exposure to the same stimulus, on a predictable schedule, in an unchanging environment. The former paradigm, it is argued, creates stronger non-fear memories that are easier for a client to access when subsequently confronting feared objects or situations outside of the therapy context, than the later scenario.
In sum, clinicians have long been aware that some fear or anxiety returns following very successful CBT treatment. As mentioned above, there are some clear, empirically supported ways to modify the therapy we provide to further help clients generalize the gains made in therapy sessions to the real world.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
None of us is immune to anxiety and I believe we need a certain amount of anxiety in order to get out of bed each morning and to push ourselves to meet all that we have to accomplish in a given day. Balance, however, is essential. Too much anxiety immobilizes and stymies us, but too little can also create complications for motivation, productivity, goal-setting, and self-esteem.

Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Anxiety is a normal emotion we all experience and can be helpful in some situations. However, one may need help when it is affecting your ability to do tasks you used to enjoy , work/school or relationships. Anxiety can be manifested as a specific fear, panic attacks or obsessive thoughts/compulsive behaviors. CBT is often used to assist with altering maladaptive behaviors and thoughts. Together, we can work on helping you to confront and overcome fears.

Dr. Brian Weir
Psychologist, PsyD
If you are suffering from anxiety, I can help! Anxiety keeps us from living a full life, it can badly effect our performance and pays a toll on our body. Many people become so used to their anxiety that they may think it not a symptom, but rather their personality. For this reason, they may even resist change because it doesn't feel authentic to their personality. Fortunately I have many tools and skills to address your anxiety and help you quite your anxious thoughts so you can hear, feel, and experience who you really are without anxiety calling the shots.

Anxiety can make life extremely limited in what you can or want to do. It is our human nature to want to avoid; however, this most often takes us further away from the life you desire. I use a CBT approach of exploring your fears and responses while gaining confidence through practicing actions. My main focus areas are health anxiety, OCD, agoraphobia, and panic.

"What If" thoughts trigger anxiety and fears. Most "What If" thoughts never come true, yet you probably spend so much time ruminating on them. I teach you how to explore and challenge your "What If" thoughts by looking at the data or evidence to counter those negative stressful thoughts. I also teach you strategies to calm your body so that it can get out of the "fight or flight" state.
