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.

Jennifer L Abel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
This is my wheelhouse! The two most important things to know about anxiety is that it occurs in a spiral and that fighting it fuels it. I'm great at treating all of the anxiety disorders and an expert in treating worry and GAD. With phobias/fears, that old adage "The best way to overcome your fears is to face them is true." But most people bite off more than they can chew and it only fuels the issue. My systematic approach works great.

Brittany Ryan-Berzins
Psychologist, PhD
My approach to treating anxiety is both compassionate and practical, with an emphasis on understanding the underlying patterns that keep anxiety in place. I help clients identify the thoughts, behaviors, and experiences that contribute to anxious feelings while developing effective strategies to respond differently. Drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and behavioral techniques, we work together to build greater emotional flexibility, confidence, and tolerance for uncertainty. I also pay close attention to the ways anxiety can intersect with perfectionism, high achievement, relationships, and life transitions. My goal is not simply to reduce anxiety, but to help clients feel less constrained by it—to move through life with greater clarity, self-trust, and freedom.
Anxiety doesn’t have to run your life. At Birch Tree Psychology, we offer therapy that helps you reconnect with calm, confidence, and clarity. We provide in-person sessions in Pompton Plains, New Jersey, as well as virtual therapy for residents in participating PSYPACT states. Reach out today to get matched with a therapist who understands what you’re going through and can help you move forward.

Alignment Psychotherapy, PLLC
Psychologist, LP, PhD
There are a multitude of theorectical, biological, psychological, and social lenses through which we can understand anxiety. We tailor anxiety treatment to the needs of the client, as well as to the way in which anxiety is presenting. For example, we might use cognitive behavioral approaches focused on challenging anxious thoughts, decreasing physical symptoms of anxiety, and reducing avoidance behaviors. Alternately, we may work with clients to adopt a more mindful and accepting stance towards anxiety while engaging in committed values-directed action. We also may work to explore how anxiety symptoms reflect responses to challenging developmental or life experiences, or past trauma. No matter the the approach, our goal is not to simply reduce our patients' overall levels of anxiety, but to help them live more meaningful and engaged lives.
