Josh Murray- Hopeful Minds
Psychologist, MA, LLP
Whether you’re suffering from panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, unrelenting worries, or an incapacitating phobia, it’s important to know that you don’t have to live with anxiety and fear. Treatment can help, and for many anxiety problems, therapy is often the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy—unlike anxiety medication—treats more than just the symptoms of the problem. Therapy can help you uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears; learn how to relax; look at situations in new, less frightening ways; and develop better coping and problem-solving skills. Therapy gives you the tools to overcome anxiety and teaches you how to use them.
Anxiety disorders differ considerably, so therapy should be tailored to your specific symptoms and diagnosis. If you have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), for example, your treatment will be different from someone who needs help for anxiety attacks. The length of therapy will also depend on the type and severity of your anxiety disorder. However, many anxiety therapies are relatively short-term. According to the American Psychological Association, many people improve significantly within 8 to 10 therapy sessions.
While many different types of therapy are used to treat anxiety, the leading approaches are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy. Each anxiety therapy may be used alone, or combined with other types of therapy. Anxiety therapy may be conducted individually, or it may take place in a group of people with similar anxiety problems. But the goal is the same: to lower your anxiety levels, calm your mind, and overcome your fears.

Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
Anxiety and fears involve intolerance of uncertainty and thoughts of worst-case-scenario predictions. Avoiding and escaping situations and the physical and emotional feelings only make anxiety worse. CBT is an empirically-validated, effective treatment for anxiety and fears.

South Psychology
Psychologist, PhD
South Psychology, based in Centennial, Colorado, specializes in providing evidence-based mental health therapy for individuals dealing with anxiety or fears. Their skilled clinicians employ a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP). Let’s delve into the details:
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): ERP is a powerful technique used to treat anxiety disorders, particularly obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It aims to gradually reduce anxiety by exposing individuals to triggering stimuli or thoughts in a safe and controlled environment. Through repeated exposure, people become less physiologically aroused by these triggers, leading to habituation. The response prevention component teaches clients not to give in to compulsive behaviors, ultimately breaking the cycle of anxiety and avoidance.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): South Psychology integrates CBT principles to help clients understand and manage their anxious thoughts. By identifying cognitive distortions and challenging irrational beliefs, individuals learn healthier coping strategies. CBT equips them with practical tools to navigate anxiety-inducing situations, improve emotional regulation, and enhance overall well-being.
Optimizing Functioning: Beyond symptom reduction, South Psychology focuses on optimizing various aspects of life. Whether it’s excelling in school, advancing in a career, or nurturing social connections, their approach aims to empower clients to thrive despite anxiety or fears.
