Anxiety Therapy in Washington D.C.
Find Relief and Regain Balance
Anxiety can feel overwhelming, affecting your thoughts, emotions, and even your physical health. Whether you're struggling with constant worry, panic attacks, or social anxiety, you’re not alone. Many people experience anxiety at some point, but when it starts to interfere with daily life, seeking professional help can be life-changing.
At District Psychotherapy, I specialize in evidence-based anxiety therapy to help you manage stress, regain control, and live with greater ease.
Understanding Anxiety: When Worry Becomes Overwhelming
Anxiety is more than just feeling nervous before a big event. It can take many forms, including:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Persistent, excessive worry about everyday things, even when there's no clear reason.
Social Anxiety: Fear of judgment or embarrassment in social situations, making interactions stressful.
Panic Disorder: Sudden, intense episodes of fear that trigger physical symptoms like a racing heart or dizziness.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) that cause distress and interfere with daily living.
Perfectionism & Rumination: Constant self-criticism, overanalyzing past situations, or feeling like nothing is ever "good enough."
If you relate to any of these, anxiety therapy can help you break free from these patterns and regain confidence in your daily life.
How Therapy for Anxiety Can Help
Anxiety therapy provides a structured, supportive space to understand your anxiety and develop tools to manage it. My approach is tailored to your unique needs and incorporates research-backed methods such as:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is one of the most effective treatments for anxiety. It helps identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that fuel worry and replace them with healthier coping strategies.
Exposure Therapy: For those struggling with social anxiety, phobias, or panic attacks, gradual exposure to feared situations can reduce avoidance behaviors and increase confidence.
Mindfulness: By incorporating breathing exercises and meditation, mindfulness helps you stay present, rather than getting lost in anxious thoughts.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT teaches you to accept difficult emotions instead of fighting them, helping you focus on what truly matters in life.
Positive Psychology & Strength-Based Approaches: Rather than just focusing on anxiety reduction, I help you build resilience, confidence, and emotional well-being.

Develop Coping Skills – You’ll learn practical techniques to calm your mind and body in stressful situations.
Challenge Negative Thoughts – Together, we’ll reshape anxious thinking into more balanced perspectives.
