Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Anxiety
When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy—as opposed to psychiatric medications—treats more than just symptoms of the problem. Potential symptoms of anxiety include:
- Nervousness, restlessness, or being tense
- Feelings of danger, panic, or dread
- Rapid breathing or hyperventilation
- Increased or heavy sweating
- Trembling or muscle twitching
- Weakness or lethargy
- Difficulty focusing or thinking clearly about anything other than the thing you’re worried about
- Insomnia
- Obsessions about certain ideas, a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder
- Anxiety surrounding a particular life event or experience that has occurred in the past, a sign of post-traumatic stress disorder
Therapy can uncover the underlying cause of your worries as well as help you learn how to relax and look at situations in a new, less frightening way. We favor cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) for anxiety, a scientifically supported approach that helps clients recognize and change unhelpful thought patterns. CBT provides practical tools to reduce anxiety symptoms, whether you're dealing with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, phobias, or social anxiety. Your therapist will work collaboratively with you to develop strategies that address your specific concerns.

That’s why we take the time to match you with the right anxiety therapist—someone who aligns with your needs and therapeutic goals. Our sessions are available both in-person at our Mississauga clinic and through secure telehealth options, allowing you to receive counselling for anxiety in the format that works best for you.
