Therapy for Anxiety in Maryland

Feeling constantly on edge, struggling to focus, or finding it challenging to relax are common signs of anxiety that can interfere with work, relationships, and overall well-being. Many people seek therapy when worry begins to feel overwhelming or when physical symptoms like tension, restlessness, or trouble sleeping start to take a toll. Sanare Counseling Group in Maryland offers compassionate, evidence-based therapy to help individuals understand the root of their anxiety, develop effective coping strategies, and regain a sense of calm and balance in daily life.

Our Therapeutic Techniques

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety. By recognizing distorted thinking and replacing it with more balanced perspectives, patients learn to manage anxious feelings and respond to challenges with greater control and confidence.

Exposure Therapy

Exposure therapy helps individuals gradually face situations that trigger anxiety while practicing response prevention to reduce avoidance behaviors. Over time, this method retrains the brain to view feared situations as less threatening, leading to decreased anxiety and improved resilience.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT)

Mindfulness-based therapy teaches patients to focus on the present moment without judgment. Through guided breathing, meditation, and awareness techniques, individuals learn to calm their minds, ease tension, and respond to anxious thoughts with clarity and self-compassion.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical behavior therapy combines cognitive and mindfulness strategies to help regulate emotions and manage stress more effectively. This approach supports patients in building healthier coping skills, improving relationships, and maintaining emotional balance during challenging moments.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and commitment therapy encourages individuals to accept their emotions rather than fight them while taking action aligned with their values. Our psychologists use this approach to help patients create meaningful goals, develop flexibility in thinking, and live with greater purpose and emotional stability.

Who Is at a Higher Risk for Anxiety Disorders?

Certain groups may be more vulnerable to developing anxiety disorders due to biological, psychological, or environmental factors. Those groups include:

Children who may struggle to express worries or cope with new experiences
Adolescents facing social pressures, academic stress, or major life transitions
Adults dealing with work-related stress, major life changes, or chronic health conditions

Therapy for anxiety offers a range of benefits that can improve both emotional well-being and daily functioning. Through talk therapy, individuals gain a safe space to explore fears, identify triggers, and develop practical coping strategies. Over time, treatment can reduce symptoms of worry and panic, improve emotional regulation, and enhance overall quality of life. Many patients also notice an increase in self-esteem as they build confidence in managing anxiety and navigating challenging situations with greater resilience.
